The Time Vortex (TARDIS)
by NerdOrg
The Time Vortex adds a time and space machine to Minecraft as a Forge mod, offered as a different take on the TARDIS idea.
What it does
The Time Vortex adds a time and space machine that players can build, enter and travel with. It is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 – 1.20.4 and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. The source code is public and the mod is released under the MIT License, which makes it open source.
