Project TARDIS
If you have ever stared at a Broken Exterior sitting uselessly in a chest and wished you could actually do something with it, Project TARDIS is the add-on you have been waiting for. This companion mod for the New TARDIS Mod turns several previously uncraftable components into legitimate crafting goals, giving players fresh reasons to explore, mine, and tinker. Whether you are a longtime Whovian or simply someone who enjoys deep tech mods, this add-on slots neatly into an existing time-travel playthrough.
What Project TARDIS Adds to the Game
At its core, this add-on is about recipes. It introduces crafting paths for the Broken Exterior, Tungsten, and the Squareness Gun, all of which previously required lucky world generation or creative mode to obtain. Alongside those headline items, it adds a handful of supporting components that flesh out the TARDIS crafting tree:
- TARDIS Shell
- Security System
- Nav Array
- Tungsten Ingot
- Steel Ingot
Each of these items feeds into the wider progression of the New TARDIS Mod, so you are not just collecting trinkets. The Nav Array and Security System, for example, tie directly into upgrading and protecting your ship, while Tungsten and Steel Ingots serve as intermediate materials for more advanced recipes. The Squareness Gun is the standout reward, offering a tool that fits the show's aesthetic and gives players a satisfying reason to grind out the required materials.
Supported Minecraft Versions and Loaders
Project TARDIS is built for the Forge mod loader, which is the same platform the base New TARDIS Mod relies on. That means you will want a Forge profile set up before you attempt to run it. Version support generally tracks the releases of the parent mod, so the safest approach is to match your add-on version to the exact New TARDIS Mod build you are already using. Running mismatched versions is the most common cause of crashes and missing recipes, so double-check before you launch.
Dependencies You Need First
This add-on does not work alone. It depends on the New TARDIS Mod as its foundation, and it also expects several other mods to be present for full functionality. These include Security Craft, Upgradeable Netherite, Regeneration Mod, Weeping Angels, and Temporal Additions. If any of these are missing, you may find that certain recipes refuse to appear or that specific items behave incorrectly. Install everything on the same Forge profile and confirm each mod's own dependencies are satisfied as well.
How to Install Project TARDIS for Minecraft
Getting the add-on running is straightforward once your environment is ready. Here is the short version:
- Install the correct Forge version for your Minecraft release.
- Place the New TARDIS Mod and every listed dependency into your mods folder.
- Add the Project TARDIS jar to the same folder.
- Launch the game once, then check the recipes in JEI or your recipe viewer of choice.
If you are new to modding, a launcher can save you a lot of manual file shuffling. The foxygame.net launcher, for instance, lets you pull Project TARDIS straight from its built-in add-on catalog and handles the version matching automatically, so you spend less time troubleshooting and more time flying your TARDIS. That kind of one-click convenience is genuinely useful when a modpack has this many moving parts.
When you download Project TARDIS, always grab it from a reputable source and verify the file matches your game version. After installation, load a test world before committing to a long-term save, since recipe conflicts with other tech mods occasionally surface. Once everything is stable, you can safely add it to your main world.
Why It Is Worth Adding
Project TARDIS fills a real gap in the New TARDIS Mod experience. By making the Broken Exterior, Tungsten, and the Squareness Gun craftable, it converts dead-end items into meaningful objectives and gives players a clearer sense of progression. The added Shell, Security System, and Nav Array deepen the ship-building loop rather than padding it. For anyone running a Doctor Who themed server or a personal time-travel world, this add-on is a natural fit that rewards the effort of assembling its dependency list.
