Creating your Tardis
Figure 1 - Tardis Coral |
As of 0.0.8A, players are required to grow their own Tardis to create it. This is done by crafting a Tardis coral and Sub-system components.
Stage 1 - Growing the Tardis Coral
To grow the Tardis, place down the Tardis coral on any block and wait 2 Minecraft days. After 2 days has past, the player will receive a Tardis key and the player’s Tardis will materialize in the place of the coral.
Notes:
- The Tardis Coral will grow larger in size during the growth process in 4 stages.
- If the Tardis coral is broken during growth, its growth progress will be interrupted.
- If the player's inventory is full at the time of the key being given, the Tardis key will NOT be given to the player.
- If the player is offline when their Tardis has finished growing (for instance, on a multiplayer server), the Tardis key will be stored in the game and given to the player upon logging back in.
- If the player is in a Rift Chunk, the coral growth time is reduced to 1 Minecraft Day
- In worlds with cheats enabled, the coral growth can be accelerated by looking at the coral and typing the command
/tardis grow
- Each individual growth stage can be viewed with the command
/time set 23999
- Each individual growth stage can be viewed with the command
Stage 2 - Repairing Sub-system components
Upon mature growth, the Tardis will provide all sub-systems, with each sub-system having a random durability value. Thus, the player must gather resources to repair the sub-system components to prolong the life of the Tardis.
