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

Remove permissions for warp commands, I still have /spawn enabled. They can use /tardis occupy to fix it if they port out.

Posted Mar 5, 2013There is a rather annoying bug with feedback upon growing the gravity well, though I don't know if this applies to the antigravity well. Upon clicking the gravity well seed block with the key, the plugin says "Now growing a WELL GRAVITY" (I'm not shouting, that's how it capitalized the name). Could that possibly be fixed in a future version? Thanks :)

Posted Mar 5, 2013People are getting there tardis lost with it saying they are still inside and the /tadis comehere command wont work after that. I know it's probably because they are using spawn or a home warp to exit the tardis, can you do something to help fix this problem, like at least blocking commands in the tardis like /spawn? Thanks.

Posted Mar 5, 2013I found a small problem with the Chameleon circuit. It cannot 'short out' to any type of wool.

Thanks for the log.
It seems to be stumbling upon the Bukkit method Location.getChunk() :
TARDIS can't get to line 106 of the code unless the location is not null, so it is actually Bukkit throwing the NPE. Could be a plugin conflict.
Do you have a plugin that unloads unoccupied chunks maybe?

Latest TARDIS v2.1-beta build #33 has option to keep it night in TARDIS worlds or let the day/night cycle run as usual
keep_night: [true|false]Also has an extended range for the TARDIS farmer, so mobs only need to be close to the Police Box, not inside it...
You can get it here: http://thenosefairy.co.nz/jenkins/TARDIS.jar

Posted Mar 4, 2013There Should Be another Control Room like they have in the actually show. But have it made with extremely rare material. ie bedrock or other.
Otherwise ITs amazing!

Posted Mar 4, 2013Absolutely love this plugin, great work.
I was wondering if it would be possible to add a config option for the self contained worlds to be changed to day from night or to just cycle normally?
I totally get the desired affect of night for space but it would be helpful to be able to change the time in order to produce solar power on modded servers.

If you've installed Multiverse and TARDISChunkGenerator after running the plugin for the first time, you will need to:
/tardisadmin create_worlds true-

I have checked the FAQ, I have multiverse, I have the ChunkGenerator. But when I create a world, with the chunkgenerator, it still gives me the same message when I try to create rooms.

What server are you running? I'm guessing it's not vanilla CraftBukkit...

Posted Mar 4, 2013When I try to enter my TARDIS the chunks around me unload and I fall slowly into the void...
When I reconnect, I am back next to the TARDIS...
Here's what the console gives me:

You need to have Multiverse and TARDISChunkGenerator installed. See the FAQs http://eccentricdevotion.github.com/TARDIS/faqs.html
