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

right after some jiggery pokery with the plugins and installing MV 2.4 its working as it should be, ie i can get in and out. but its now changing me to survival as i enter (which is ok since it stops me destorying blocks on creative) but keeps me as survival when i exit, is there a way to set entry to survival and exit back to default (for me default in the main world would be creative (well should be)) failing that stopping it from changing gamemode on entry
hopefully this will see the back of the entry exit problems

You didn't need to change
teleportinterceptthat can be true. Looks like a pretty standard MV config, so it's probably not that.Are they any errors in the server log? If so post them here: http://dev.bukkit.org/paste/ and link back

iv just had a look at my MV plugin and it is set as the following multiverse-configuration:
: com.onarandombox.MultiverseCore.MultiverseCoreConfiguration
enforceaccess: 'false' prefixchat: 'true' useasyncchat: 'true' teleportintercept: 'false' firstspawnoverride: 'true' displaypermerrors: 'true' globaldebug: '0' silentstart: 'false' messagecooldown: '5000' version: '2.9' firstspawnworld: World teleportcooldown: '1000' defaultportalsearch: 'false' portalsearchradius: '16'
teleportinterecpt was set to true but now i cant enter the tardis and mv wont port me to it, soon as i change a setting it stop me entering the tardis and without deleting and starting again i cant gain entry. i dont really want to delete and restart the plugin cuz iv built custom tardis interior.
im also just travelportals and justwarp but these havent interfered before now.

If you are getting the door sound, then it seems as though TARDIS is doing its bit OK, but something (another plugin?) is blocking the teleport back to the outside world
Have you checked the Multiverse permissions/config? In particular reference to this bit on their wiki: https://github.com/Multiverse/Multiverse-Core/wiki/permissions#wiki-perm
Is
enforceacccessenabled in your Multiverse config.yml?-

Posted Mar 4, 2013hi there, loving the plugin but im having one major issue.
i can create a tardis and enter no problem but when it comes to leaving the tardis i hear the sound of the door opening but nothing else happens, i have tried the /tardis update door many many times and it doesnt help. so far i havent found any other part of the tardis workings that doesnt work apart from exiting the tardis. i have gone through pages and pages of comments and your FAQ to try and find a solution, adjusted many settings and put them back after it didnt help. this plugin has going really well on my server apart from people are having issues exiting the tardis.
there has been afew times where iv changed one of the setting (like the world gen config setting for multiverse) and couldnt enter the tardis anymore, reinstalled the plugin it worked again just couldnt exit.
its as though the world can send me to the tardis but the tardis cant send me back to the world yet travelling within the tardis works fine. i have to warp out use the /occupy & /comehere commands or warp to outside the tardis to get back in.
i really dont know whats happening but im at my wits end trying to figure this one out. any help you can give me on this would be appreciated.

I still haven't been able to reproduce the handbrake bug, so any server logs relating to it would be good.

Thank you so much! The annoying bugs are gone! By the way, has there been a fix for the stuck handbrake bug? It happened to me last night, exactly like in the video! I don't know if there's been a fix yet, because the server I play on has the 2.1 beta 1 update, and the bug happened to me only once. Any information would be helpful, and I will continue trying to figure out the issue on my private server. Thanks :)

Are you saying:
My server lags when I double click the TARDIS handbrake and I can't get out
or
If my server is lagging, after I double click the TARDIS handbrake I can't get out
There is not much I can do about your server lagging - you either need a more powerful computer, or you need to run fewer plugins or restrict the number of users - as far as I know the TARDIS plugin doesn't cause lots of lag in its general use i.e. time travelling
You shouldn't need to double click any TARDIS controls. Just ONE click will do! If the server is lagging just do one click and wait... With the handbrake, a RIGHT-click releases it (and you enter the time vortex) and a LEFT-click engages the handbrake, letting you exit. The plugin tells you when to click :)

Posted Mar 3, 2013This plugin is so amazing. I can't stop using it, and just when I think my TARDIS is finished, I have more ideas on how to further customize it or a newer version is released with all sorts of new goodies! Keep up the good work!
Also, is there a way I can set the plugin to add itself to a MultiVerse-INV group by default when it's created? I can't find an option for multiverse to do it automatically, figured there might be one here.

Spawn egg? Wheat in hand, close the door while you're inside too? Build a line of fences up to the door? There is not any more documentation to write, how you get animals into the Police Box is up to you, nobody said it would be easy!
Planning on altering the door locking methods soon, remember it's still a beta, but appreciate your comments as they only go to make the plugin better :)

Not without making it an End world, which it originally was, but exploding beds put an end to that...
