Downloads
I'm too lazy to upload TARDIS files to Bukkit anymore, as builds are automatically created when the plugin is updated and changes pushed to GitHub.
Version specific downloads can be found here: https://tardis.pages.dev/download
Please make sure you are using the latest Spigot/Paper builds (for the Minecraft version you are running) before installing TARDIS or creating an issue!
What it does
TARDIS is a plugin that gives you the ability to create a Police Box that lets you time travel (teleport) to random locations. It adds a Whovian twist to the typical /sethome and /home commands.
As a player, you can:
- Create a TARDIS that is bigger on the inside.
- Time travel to a random location.
- Time travel back home (where you created the TARDIS initially).
- Save and list interesting time travel locations, so you can return to them easily.
- Take companions with you when you time travel.
- Make your TARDIS blend in with the Chameleon Circuit.
- Use your own schematic to build the TARDIS interior
- Grow new TARDIS rooms
- Use Artron Energy
- Remote control the TARDIS
- Custom TARDIS sounds with companion Resource Pack
- Custom TARDIS textures with companion Resource Pack

Installation
As a minimum, just drop the TARDIS.jar, TARDISChunkGenerator.jar (look under Additional Files on the download page) and any optional plugins listed below into the Bukkit plugins folder and start your server. For more detailed instructions see: https://tardis.pages.dev/installation-v5
Optional installs
These are not needed for TARDIS to function, but enhance the plugin with extra features...
- Install the TARDIS-SoundResourcePack in the Minecraft client to hear custom TARDIS sounds
- Install the TARDIS-Resource-Pack to see aal the fancy textures and models (requires TARDIS v4.2 or higher).
- Install the TARDISChunkGenerator plugin so that you can generate TARDISes in their own self-contained world (included on the TARDIS plugin download page under Additional files).
- Install WorldGuard to automatically protect your TARDIS from griefing, and stop mobs spawning in TARDIS worlds.
- Install TARDISWeepingAngels to add some Whovian mobs to the game.
- Install a Permissions plugin, so that you can restrict or grant players the rights to use TARDIS’ different features. We like PermissionsBukkit.

Bugs / Requests
Please post a ticket for TARDIS plugin requests and bugs, thank you :)
WARNING: I am no longer prepared to waste my time looking at incomplete tickets. If your ticket does not follow the guidelines set out below, it will be deleted immediately!
Make sure you have read the FAQs first, as your question may already be answered there. Also make sure you have searched for a previous ticket with the same/similar issue (use the Filters to search closed tickets).
If you are going to create a BUG ticket you need to supply relevant information (as I'm not a mind reader, nor do I have access to your server...) - as a minimum you need:
- Exact CraftBukkit version i.e. NOT 'the latest' - use the
/tardis versioncommand if possible, otherwise copy from server log - Exact TARDIS version i.e. NOT 'the latest' - use the
/tardis versioncommand if possible, otherwise copy from server log - The server log showing the entire error (as a paste or at Pastebin - NOT a screenshot) - this should be the log from when the server starts up right through to when the error occurs
- If no error in the log, then a video of the bug happening or the EXACT steps needed to reproduce the issue.
- Attach your plugins/TARDIS/config.yml file or other configuration file if relevant
- Attach your plugins/TARDIS/TARDIS.db file if relevant
- List of other plugins on server
Stats
Basic statistics are collected for some versions of the TARDIS plugin (v2.5.8 and earlier). You can opt out at any time by setting opt-out: true in plugins/PluginMetrics/config.yml
External web access
Version 2.8 (and higher) of this plugin includes a translation feature (the /tardissay command) that connects to the Lingva translation service.
You can prevent players from using the command by removing / not giving them the permission tardis.translate

No. I had to re-create the gravity well over top of the existing one. It worked after I did that.

Posted Feb 15, 2013I've looked into this and there doesn't seem to any method within bukkit (or any other plugin) that supports disabling spawn protection on a per world basis. What you would need to do is:
spawn-protection=0If anyone knows any different let me know and I will implement it :)

Posted Feb 15, 2013I see you pushed a 2.0-pre but I'm not there yet. Is it expected behavior that the gravity is broken after loading b8?

Got any pictures?
The room growing system works best if you put passages in :) But I have tested it without and didn't have any issues. Sometimes if you are not facing square onto the wall when you click the seed block the room grows in the wrong direction as it gets the direction from the players yaw.
I take you mean that jettisoning a room removes more than just the room? Again have never had this happen. I've tried hitting the TNT at a funny angle but you can't really get past 90 deg unless you've destroyed block around the door

Posted Feb 15, 2013When ever I change the wall material in the server and make a new room, it is still orange wool, even though I get the, "Wall Material Saved" response.

Also if it can't find the world, then you have either not got a mulit-world plugin installed or the multi-world plugin is not set up properly... I recommend using Multiverse rather than MultiWorld

I've just being doing a quick Google on Clanforge minecraft servers and have found this page: http:wiki.multiplay.co.uk/Minecraft/FTP_Uploads - it looks like you should be able to FTP into the plugins folder and access the files there. If necessary, should you not be able to delete files, I can give you a blank empty database file to upload instead

Posted Feb 15, 2013OK here is the list of problems I am having and this is happeneing regardless of new worlds or new setups or whatever and this only happens with My user on the Clanforge, multiplay server.
1. Everytime I create a new world it is a Tardis
2. Everytardis is linked to my named which means i can't do anything to remove it/them 3. I tried changing the config file the remove the tardis worlds, but each time i save it comes back, (regardless of new worlds, they just get added)
4. and i'm betting this is just clanforge, i can't remove my name from anything linked to the mod. which means i can't do anything with the mod and it is becoming a problem. I can't access my .dat file to remove it or whatever.
help

/tardisadmincommands. Editing the file and restarting the server will only save and reload the current config options - reverting any manual changes you have made - unless you run a/tardisadmin reloadbefore restarting-

Okay, replace your TARDIS.db with this one: https:dl.dropbox.com/u/53758864/TARDIS.db
