Weeping Angels

TARDISWeepingAngels is a TARDIS plugin module that transforms Minecraft mobs into terrifying Whovian monsters.

note

For TARDIS version 4.13.0 and below you can download the separate TARDISWeepingAngels plugin JAR from here: TARDISWeepingAngels

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

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

Requirements

Version 4.x.x of this plugin/module requires Paper server or a compatible fork.

Version 5 and higher will run on Spigot and Paper servers :)

For the full experience (textures and sounds), you’ll need the TARDIS-Resource-Pack

Monsters

Features

For each monster:

  • Configurable spawn rate
  • Configurable drop on death
  • Only spawn them in the worlds you want

Information

Weeping Angels

Weeping Angels only spawn at night in loaded chunks. They may also spawn when metioned in chat (if configured) or by building them with blocks.

To build an angel, place four cobblestone walls in a ‘T’ shape, then place a skeleton skull on the top. If the builder has the permission tardisweepingangels.build.angel an angel will spawn.

Angel building

Weeping Angels can only be killed with the configured weapon - by default a DIAMOND_PICKAXE - hitting them with anything else has no effect. When they die they drop a random (1-3) amount of STONE.

The angels move pretty fast, but you can freeze them in place by looking at them and quickly pressing the sneak key. Better arm yourself or flee quickly though, as they’ll be after you again in a snap - and if they touch you, you’ll be teleported away to a random location. If the TARDIS plugin is also installed, your TARDIS Key will be stolen.

Weeping Angel

Random teleport locations can be specified by world, or you can set specific locations to teleport players to.

  • Random teleports are set in the angels.teleport_worlds section in monsters.yml. Add all the worlds you want to allow teleports to. A random location will be generated from loaded chunks in a randomly selected world.
  • Specific teleport locations require angels.teleport_to_location to be set to true. You can then use the /twa teleport [replace|true|false] command.
    • You can list multiple locations to teleport to in the angels.teleport_locations section in monsters.yml.
    • By default, one location exists - the spawn location of the server’s main world.
    • To add a location, stand in the place you want to add and use the /twa teleport command.
    • To replace all previously stored locations, repeat the above step, but use the /twa teleport replace command.
    • To toggle between random world and specific location teleporting use the command /twa teleport [true|false] - where true is for specific locations.

Clockwork Droids

Cybermen

Cybermen can spawn at anytime. If configured, Cybermen will upgrade villagers and players when they have killed them (a new Cyberman) spawns in their place. If the upgraded entity was a player, the new Cyberman displays the player’s name above its head.

Ice Warriors

Ice Warriors are really angry. They can spawn at anytime, but only spawn in snowy, icy or cold biomes. They carry an ice dagger. Did I mention they’re angry!

Ice Warrior

Daleks

Daleks come in different colours, but mostly spawn in their typical bronze colour. Exterminate! When a Dalek spawns there is a configurable chance that either Dalek Sec or Davros will spawn instead.

Dalek

Dalek Sec

Dalek Sec just looks fabulous! He’s passive unless you annoy him.

Dalek

Davros

Davros doesn’t do much yet, but probably best not to get in his way.

Dalek

Empty Children

Empty Children spawn anytime, and are of course child size. If you are killed by an Empty Child you get a gas mask applied to your head when you respawn that you can’t remove for 30 seconds.

Hath

Hath don’t do much yet, but they look pretty cool.

Headless Monks fire energy blasts from their hands as well as channelling that energy into their swords.

Judoon

Judoon are the police force of the Whoniverse. Left-click a Judoon to claim it as your own.

If players have the permission tardisweepingangels.judoon they can equip Judoon with ammunition (craft with arrows and gunpowder and put into a shulker box, then left-click the Judoon with the box). Judoon can then be toggled to be in guard mode (left-click them with out a shulker box in hand) and will shoot any hostile mobs nearby.

Use the /twa follow command or right-click the Judoon to make the Judoon follow you around.

Judoon can be built by players if they have the permission tardisweepingangels.build.judoon - place two obsidian blocks one on top of the other. Place red nether brick walls on either side to form a ‘T’, then place an iron trapdoor on the top.

K-9

You can either craft a K-9 or tame a wolf to get a K-9! Clicking a K-9 will toggle whether he will follow you or stay put. The crafting recipe is 3 iron ingots, 3 redstone, and 3 bones in the crafting grid:

III
RRR
BBB

K9

You can also build K-9 with blocks if you have the permission tardisweepingangels.build.k9. Place an iron block, with a lever and a tripwire hook on each side, finish with a dayight detector on top.

Sontarans will try to kill you (as any good Sontaran should). If you manage to right-click a Sontaran with a Weakness Potion before he kills you, he will transform into Strax.

Sontaran

Strax

If you right-click Strax he’ll talk to you, and if you right-click him with an empty bucket, you’ll be able to milk him. Yum, yum Sontaran lactic fluid :) Be careful not to anger him though as he’ll go rabid on you and let his killer Sontaran instincts get the better of him!

Strax

Sycorax

Snarling space gangsters who smell like herrings!

Sea Devil
