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

Posted Mar 18, 2013Hi, I think I have resolved the issue. I deleted the contents of the plugins folder, then put in the new jars, ran the server once, then I copied the old database file back to the appropriate folder, ran the server and now it works. I think the problem was that the new jar somehow messed up the database file so it was as if I never had a Tardis. It is weird though, because one would assume that merely replacing one jar with another shouldn't mess up with it. Anyway, issue solved (I haven't slept much because of it) and thanks a lot for this amazing plugin! You're the best!

When developing the plugin, I update the plugin after each code change so I can test it (this can be multiple times an hour...) and I have never lost the link between the TARDIS and my player.
There is no way I can fix this with the information you have given me... are there anyTARDIS errors in the server log? What version of TARDIS? What version of CraftBukkit? Are you actually running CB or some other server variant? List of other plugins? Are you using something that changes your player name?
Please post a ticket with as much info as possible!

Posted Mar 17, 2013Each time I update the Tardis plugin, it breaks the link between me and my Tardis - the game doesn't recognise me as a Timelord and I eventually have to manually break the old Tardis and grow a new one. Is there a way to fix this?

Posted Mar 17, 2013I wish you could choose whether to use a world or not based on the TARDIS size, for example, deluxe and eleventh TARDISes use their own worlds and regular and bigger TARDISes use the default world.

PermissionsEx is the same deal, you don't want to give yourself
tardis.exile, you want to negate it (take it away) - probably because you have given yourself'*'permission (which is bad)For all players that you want to be able to travel you will need to take the permission away. In PEX you do that like so:
- -tardis.exile-

Yes you will need to negate the
tardis.exilepermission for every player that you want to use the plugin as GroupManager does not handle permission nodes properly that are FALSE by default.Redstone block TARDIS will be coming in a future update...

No, one per player / Timelord. Why would you need more than one when you can go anywhere in space and time?
