Adaptive (Chameleon) Exterior

Adaptive (Chameleon) Exterior

This feature is available in all versions after 1.2.12

The Adaptive Exterior (also known as the Chameleon Exterior) is a unique type of exterior.
While using this exterior, your TARDIS can disguise itself as a tree, structure or other type of plant depending on the biome your TARDIS is in. To enable it, select the Adaptive exterior type in the monitor (it’s listed with the rest of the exteriors in the mod).
Due to the way it was implemented it has 2 properties:

  • It’s undetectable. You can’t use F3, WAILA, Jade or X-ray mods to find a disguised TARDIS.
  • It’s dynamic. It doesn’t have any presets, therefore it finds the shape to take dynamically. Meaning it works with modded (& datapack) biomes.

To open a camouflaged TARDIS, right-click the bottom block, where the exterior would normally be. Doing that will reveal the capsule. Closing the door will camouflage it back.
Try and spot the TARDIS in the image below If you can’t see it, it’s the tree on the right.

The sonic feature will be available in version 1.2.13 and later

Sonic Disguise Changer

The sonic screwdriver allows you to change the current disguise more conveniently:

  1. Set sonic screwdriver to INTERACTION mode.
  2. Put sonic screwdriver in off-hand.
  3. Using it on the bottom-most block of the TARDIS exterior will make it swap to a different disguise (appropriate to the biome, of course).

NOTE: If isomorphic security is active, then it requires the respective loyalty and a linked key.
If it’s not active, then it requires at least PILOT loyalty (or operator).
