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

Door locking is on the todo list already, and the farm animal idea has also been suggested
More than one request always motivates me to actually get on to doing it though :) so have added one more item to the todos

Posted Feb 25, 2013I have an idea for the TARDIS door locking mechanism: how about LEFT clicking the TARDIS door to lock it and nobody can enter! Another idea: allowing the player to lure or push mobs into the TARDIS for on-board animal farms? Or a specific 'animal farm' room? I probably should create a ticket for all of these ideas! Love the plugin by the way! And keep up the excelent work! :)

Posted Feb 24, 2013My friend created a TARDIS, but somehow destroyed it incorrectly. Now the server thinks he has a TARDIS, but he doesn't actually have one. /tardis comehere doesn't work, and /tardis find leads to where the TARDIS was, but is no longer. He somehow destroyed the sign without using /tardis exterminate, and he can't make a new one because the old one still thinks it's there.
Help! =P

Did it this morning...
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/53758864/TARDIS-4-Tekkit.zip
or on the TARDIS Jenkins server here:

Fix will be in next official release, recharging beacons will not work (cause there are no beacons in 1.2.5) use the TARDIS condenser chest instead. Not sure if the sonic screwdriver will work or not but I did add it to the list of valid key materials (I'm just not sure I got the name right and I've never tested it...)
This version also allows you to open TARDIS doors by right-clicking them with the TARDIS key while sneaking

There is not currently any way to cancel room growing (apart from stopping the server). For best results with growing rooms take a look at the room growing tips: http://eccentricdevotion.github.com/TARDIS/rooms.html#tips

Posted Feb 24, 2013Also I'm having an issue with rooms. Every time I try to grow a room it says "You can grow a room unless the TARDIS was build in it's own world." So I went back to where I spawned the TARDIS and it says the same thing.
