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

Use a WorldGuard region, set mob spawning flag to false

Thank you :-) The config files was created now, and I have tested it in-game. It built nicely, but as I was supposed to enter it, the tardis was not finished built, the tardis-world was still dark and the machine is not operational. It seems half-built. What has gone wrong? How may I fix it?

So the problem is this:
Because TARDIS dynamically loads some code depending on what version of CraftBukkit is running (allowing us to support everything from 1.4.7 back to at least 1.2.5) is it failing to load because of the Unknown version of CraftBukkit.
Here is a quick fix: http://keetley.servegame.com:8080/job/TARDIS/me.eccentric_nz.TARDIS$TARDIS/lastBuild/ or here: http://thenosefairy.co.nz/jenkins/TARDIS.jar, see how that goes (it is a beta version though so may contain other bugs...) + I had to start the server twice in order to get the config to load properly.

Sorry about that, I'm a little new to this.

Err, code tags next time please...
That warning is completely normal, and is caused by a bit of lag as the inner TARDIS is created. But none of that log relates to you travelling in the TARDIS so it's not much help at all!

This is what I'm getting:

I'm assuming it's the [WARNING] at 33:47. Is that something that I'm doing/need to update?

Posted Feb 28, 2013For some reason when I travel in the TARDIS, it does not travel with me. And if I return to where I left the TARDIS it is still there but does not recognize it as mine, so I can't destroy it, even with admin permissions. I have to use /tardis comehere to have mine reappear which essentially creates another TARDIS.
Any idea why this is happening?

tardis.exileonly applies to TARDIS areas.tardis.enter, then they won't be able to enter a TARDIStardis.createortardis.use(which is a node that includestardis.createandtardis.enter)-

I have never tested TARDIS with Libigot, as this is the first time I've actually heard of it! I will download and install it and see if I can figure out what is up...

I am running Libigot for MC 1.4.7, because I also have Heroes running and it requires libigot. I do have Multiverse installed. What puzzles me is that I can't even find any records in the log of TARDIS trying to start up, except for the TARDISChunkGenerator. Is it impossible to use TARDIS together with libigot?
(Let me also say that I'm impressed with how fast you replied to my first post :-) ).
PS. By "enabled", I mean that it is installed and supposedly running, not "disabled" (which is an option at my server hosting panel).

Posted Feb 27, 2013If I give players the tardis.exile permission will they not be able to be companions or to make tardis? Just wondering, trying to limit which groups can be companions and don't see any companion related permission nodes.

Make sure you have 1.4.7 Bukkit and Tardis versions. It works fine for me. If you are using the chunk generator to make individual tardis worlds you will need to be running multiverse plugin as well, Hope that helps.

What server are you running? This will not work with BukkitForge (at all) or Tekkit (unless you have v2.1-beta)
And what do you mean 'enable the plugin'?

It would be too costly (in server processing time, and my time having to program it) searching for every combination of rooms adjoining the one you are jettisoning, so to get round the fact that the walls may be shared with another room walls are left behind.
Please see the room growing tips here for how (in an ideal world where everyone thinks like me) rooms should be grown: http://eccentricdevotion.github.com/TARDIS/rooms.html#tips

Posted Feb 27, 2013I have installed TARDIS 2.0 in my plugins folder, but it doesn't create the TARDIS folder when I enable the plugin and restart the server. The only thing I can see in the log is that TARDISChunkGenerator registers something. And TARDIS does not work at all in game. Any good hints?

Posted Feb 27, 2013Thank you for the very swift reply! I was also wondering if there was any particular purpose for leaving the walls behind when jettisoning rooms. I had jettisoned a Baker room, recalling that I had a room to its left that I was planning on growing a workshop in. Upon creating that workshop, I found the remnants of the old room remaining, breaking into the lamp levers outside and the bookshelves inside. I still have much leather to gather to repair the damage. I love the new animal farm features, by the way! :)
