About this Mod

Dalek API

The Ultimate Framework for Creating Doctor Who Mod Addons!

Have you ever wanted to add your own custom Daleks to Teab's Doctor Who Mod? Or perhaps create a new faction of Cybermen? The Dalek API is a powerful framework that makes it incredibly simple to create your own addons, without needing to be an expert modder.

This API handles all the complicated code for you, letting you focus on what's important: bringing your ideas to life!

Why Use the Whoniverse API?

  • 🚀 Create, Don't Complicate: Forget about complex boilerplate code. Our streamlined DalekFactory lets you register a new, fully functional Dalek with a custom texture in just a few lines of code.

  • 🧠 Powerful Features Out-of-the-Box: Your custom mobs automatically inherit the complex AI, sounds, loot tables, and attributes from the base mod. They'll feel like a natural part of the game from the moment you spawn them.

  • 🛡️ Stable & Compatible: This API is built to be future-proof. By providing a stable "front door" to the mod's features, it avoids the need for fragile Mixins. This means your addons are far less likely to break when the base mod updates and will have fewer conflicts with other mods.

For Players

This is a library/API mod. On its own, it does not add any new content, mobs, or items to the game. You need to install it for other mods, such as Whoniverse Expanded or community-made addons, to work correctly.

For Modders & Addon Creators

This is where the magic happens. The Dalek API is designed to be the easiest way to start building your own content for Teab's Doctor Who Mod.

  • DalekFactory: A simple, powerful tool to register your Dalek entities.

  • AbstractDalekEntity: A base class you can extend to give your mobs all the built-in intelligence and features of a standard Dalek.

Ready to build your own Dalek army? The best place to start is our comprehensive documentation on the GitHub Wiki. It includes a full tutorial that will guide you through creating your first addon from start to finish.

What's Next?

The Whoniverse API is an actively developed project. Here are some of the features planned for the future:

  • A CybermanFactory for easy Cyberman creation.

  • Support for other iconic Doctor Who entities.

  • An optional, configurable multiplayer TARDIS fix to allow for one TARDIS per player.

Frequently Asked Questions

DalekAPI server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong forge version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is DalekAPI compatible with forge?

DalekAPI officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.20.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with DalekAPI – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if DalekAPI consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
