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

If you use multiverse inventories to separate the creative inventory in creative worlds from being used in survival worlds, you could perhaps use GameMode Inventories instead (currently this week's Curse plugin Spotlight). With it players have separate inventories for each game mode, and you can disable player's being able to drop items in creative as well

With the latest builds, you can use your own schematic files to add as many room types as you want, there's a post a few pages back...

I guess this is possible in any creative world, though I could look at blocking the placement of end portal blocks, or you could use one of the many plugins out there that would do the same.

Posted Mar 21, 2013Glitch alert! A staff and donor of mine discovered, that you can create a endportal in the creative tardis and throw items through then someone on the end spawn can catch them all. I have to have them creative becasue i have multiverse inventories, because i give my $100 donators their own creative world that requires a different inventory.

The other TARDIS plugin you're talking about has similar commands that conflict with eachother. I've seen this on a server, which soon after shut down for maintenance until 1.5 (the conflict problem is probably unrelated)

Posted Mar 21, 2013@eccentricnz Hi can you answer my 2 questions?
1 Is there a way to let both TARDIS plugins run on 1 server? 2 Could you make a system like the other plugin with precise controls?
Hope to hear from you soon and keep up the good work!

Posted Mar 19, 2013It's installed and up to date, but for some reason doesn't show up at all. No commands, no TARDISes (TARDII?), no anything to do with this plugin. Any ideas on what my problem is? By the way, I rent from mcprohosting.com. Don't know if that will help or not. Thanks!

Yes that's right, it just reads it from the schematic data
@XVampiregurlX
Your problem is the server's

Okay. I am completely confused out of my mind. He can destroy some places, but not all. Like the cant destroy the console, or destroy blocks hes places near the console. But he can destroy some walls. He was only able to destroy every other block in the passage he grew too. Literally, one block, but not the one next to it but the one next to that.

Posted Mar 19, 2013Im still having an issue. I turned off the add_perms and just manually added each players world to the groupmanager config. So the groups go with it and the users, but now a player doesnt have permissions to DESTROY in his own tardis. They can build, but not destroy. i even tried adding him to the worldguard region
