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 are getting the message: "You cannot grow rooms unless your TARDIS was created in its own world!" then you haven't set up the plugin properly - see the FAQs here: http://eccentricdevotion.github.io/TARDIS/faqs.html

That would normally mean that the plugin still thinks you are inside the TARDIS (perhaps you didn't exit properly through the door?) try doing
/tardis occupyfirst-

Posted Apr 23, 2013Is there some way to get it to not give the book? I'm creating a long, involved quest line for my players to earn the TARDIS.

Posted Apr 22, 2013Nevermind, folks! It's fixed now. I had not yet imported the worlds into Multiverse, I think. Anyway, it's working now! All your suggestions helped! Thanks a ton!

Didn't work. When I set it to unoccupied, and tried to enter the TARDIS, it just does nothing. The sound plays, but it doesn't send me to the TARDIS interior.
I've also been trying to delete it and build another, but when I use the command /tardisadmin delete [name], I get the error message: "An internal error occurred while attempting to perform this command."

Posted Apr 22, 2013New problem: Before I saw where you suggested to update the handbrake, my brother reset the server for something. I signed off to avoid getting kicked, but when the server came back up, I spawned in the normal world. Now the TARDIS thinks I'm still inside and is not letting me back in. So...what should I do now?

Posted Apr 22, 2013I just had another idea! An Emergency Program system. When the Time Lord of the TARDIS dies, the autonomous circuit is on, and there are companions currently inside the TARDIS, then a fake "player" will spawn near the console and give a prerecorded "message" to only the TARDIS occupants through chat. There should be a preference setting for it, as well, and possibly make the message(s) configurable by either the player or the server admin. I just thought this feature would be interesting to implement in a future version of the plugin. :)

It has been fixed, I rebuilt it after deleting the multiverse, tardis and tardis world folders. It still times me out after building it. There were no errors that I saw, and it's the latest of all the plugins needed.
