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.

If you are using Multiverse, make sure the in the MV worlds.yml each world is set to
gameMode: CREATIVEas well, or give yourself the permissionmv.bypass.gamemode.*-

The way the TARDIS travels has changed, setting a destination with
/tardistravel dest [name]should not make the TARDIS travel by itself, you will need to RIGHT-click the handbrake off first, then re-engage it to exit. If you don't then you just exit where you were before. If you don't have a handbrake (a LEVER) you'll need to add it to the TARDIS console -/tardis update handbrake. I suggest you delete the Police Box @ 142survival, as travelling there again will create a duplicate when you leave-

Posted Mar 26, 2013Ever since I installed this plugin (as of the 2.0 release) every time I switch worlds (from TARDIS_WORLD_JACOB34343 to World/nether/end/etc) I change to survival. I normally play in creative and on all my plugins + server properties my default gamemode is set to creative. Help!

Also, not to be a n00b, but when it says "release the handbrake," is it serious, and if so, what does it mean?

Thanks so much! I just tested it out, and it worked.
The only thing is, now I'm having a bigger problem. :(
I have a saved destination called 142survival. See, when I go there, I usually start out in my little TARDIS garage (the TARDIS home). Today, that's what I did. I got inside, typed in /tardistravel dest 142survival, and when I came outside, I appeared back at the TARDIS home. When I went back inside, and went out the door again, I was at 142survival. The thing is, when I tried to get back into the TARDIS, nothing happened. I warped back to the TARDIS home (on my own), and found the TARDIS waiting for me, even though it was also at 142survival. When I went inside, the door worked, and when I went outside, I was at 142survival, and the door wasn't working.
I'm not quite sure what's going on, and I haven't tried any other saved destinations in fear that they will malfunction as well. Any ideas?

The only other reason you might get that message is if
land_on_water: falseis in the TARDIS config and the area that the random location finder is looking in is mostly water. Even then it should just time out and set the location to a y-height of 135.TARDIS areas are made with the
/tardisareacommand.Can you post your TARDIS config here: http://dev.bukkit.org/paste/

Ah hmm...
There is only 1 worldguard region guarding the beacon that I created for the recharger station in this one world. Just takes about 3x3 blocks and only 1 row high.
We do not use Towny, and WorldBorder there is no worldborder on this world. No factions either. is it considered a TARDIS area if it is just using the random location?

Another issue is, when trying to do Random Travel (as in repeaters/stone button) in other worlds than my main (world). It always says this same thing "[TARDIS] Could not find a suitable location within the current settings, the area may be protected."
I cant seem to find a way to fix this... Even if no area is protected in those worlds...

Posted Mar 25, 2013This is with, craftbukkit-1.5.1-R0.1-20130326.001612-22
Tardis Version 2.2-beta-1
Police Box duplication would randomly happen, after you teleport away from a location, to recreate it? just travel a lot around different areas. It mostly does that at a place where there are 3+ Tardis's in one area. Like the recharge station, there will be OLD tardis's that aren't really tardis's just remnants/blocks of where it once was.
The only worldguard regions I have in my worlds are spawn, and a few small arenas, other than that none...

/tardisadmin exclude WORLDNAME. You can shorten the timeout length in the config, and you can also turn offrespect_worldguardif you don't care that TARDISes land in WG regions-

Posted Mar 25, 2013I'm having a few issues it seems.
Sometimes, when a Tardis moved from one location to another, it will leave behind the blocks it used to create it in a place. So it will no longer be an actual Tardis in that place, but the blocks that the Tardis was are still there.
Another issue is, sometimes the plugin will start lagging the server, if you press the Stone Button and it will pause the server sometimes for a little while, then usually come up with an error about not finding any kind of suitable location on that world or something.
Also, for the longest time the Tardis was set to show name from config, and the names would never be on top of the signs of each Tardis... THEN, all of a sudden I didn't change ANYHTING, and they started having names on it about an hour ago. No server restart, and didn't reload the config or anything.
It was right about that time that the server started lagging with pushing the stone button in a Tardis. It was happening to all Tardis's created, the lag part. Then I restarted server and it seemed to fix it for the most part, however the names now show up on newly created Tardis's.
Also, it is weird, because even when permissions are set to false in the config, when a person creates a Tardis for the first time, it sets their group to Default no matter what I do. Even my group (which is Owner/Admin or whatever group I set myself to) it forces all players that create a new Tardis, to go to Default group.

It can't be eliminated, but you could set the energy costs really low (like 1) and set the full_charge really high (like 2147483500).
You will need to add the Artron energy button to the TARDIS (
/tardis update artron, then click a placed button). After the button is updated right-click the new Artron button with the TARDIS key to initialise it. Click it with a Nether Star to set it to full charge.-

I love this plugin! I've used it for quite a while. Yet when I updated to 1.5.0, and reinstalled the TARDIS plugin and installed the TARDIS Chunk Generator for the first time, the plugin started causing some problems. I'm able to use all the key functions of the plugin. The only thing is, the plugin has never said anything about artron energy before I updated. Now, it says that I can't travel because I don't have enough. I tried building a artron energy charger in the little garage I built as the home for my TARDIS, yet I still can't travel. Any ideas as to what I can do to eliminate artron energy or charge the TARDIS? Thanks in advance.

You can already teleport between worlds, just hit the stone button on the TARDIS console until the world you want comes up...

Posted Mar 25, 2013Can you PLEASE add a feature that lets you teleport between worlds? Also can you make it a sign because most people don't want to rebuild their houses? First line: [TARDIS] second line: (name of world) this could be just like teleporting randomly but to another world. Please i really need this. Thanks.

So what server are you running? Not a standard CraftBukkit from the looks of it.
You need to use an official Bukkit build, not one which has net.minecraft.server.v1_5pre_R1
