Vortex Manipulator

"Vortex manipulator. Cheap and nasty time travel. Very bad for you. I'm trying to give it up."

TARDISVortexManipulator is one of the TARDIS plugin modules that brings the Vortex Manipulator to Minecraft. Travel like Jack Harkness or River Song from Doctor Who! Have the Vortex Manipulator in your hand, put in your desired location, and GO!

note

For TARDIS version 4.13.0 and below you can download the separate TARDISVortexManipulator plugin JAR from http://tardisjenkins.duckdns.org:8080/job/TARDISVortexManipulator/

The instructions below are for the TARDIS module, but are pretty much the same ,with some extra configuration options ( database / plugin respect), and separate commands instead of sub-commands.

Enabling the module

To use the Weeping Angels module, it must be enabled in the TARDIS config.

• Type /tardisconfig vortex_manipulator [true|false] to enable or disable the feature.
• A server restart is required when changing the config value.

The TARDISVortexManipulator models and textures are part of the TARDIS-Resource-Pack

Requirements

For the full experience, you'll need the TARDIS-Resource-Pack

Crafting

Crafting is a little complicated, as it's an advanced piece of technology. Requirements for crafting are (left to right, top row first): stone button, another stone button, glass; clock, gold, compass; iron ingot, iron ingot, iron ingot. Custom graphics for the crafted item and GUI are available as part of the TARDIS-Resource-Pack.

Multi-world support

The plugin works with Multiverse (or other multi-word plugin), remembering personally saved locations and allowing for direct teleporting to any available world and coordinate.
