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 Apr 28, 2013Will it be updated with some stuffs from the episode Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS?
You should make a library with some readable books... Maybe The history of the Time War? JK

Texture pack is now hosted on Curse, I forgot to add the new link to the page: http://www.curse.com/texture-packs/minecraft/tardis-tp
You need to add your friends as TARDIS companions:
/tardis add [player]and they will also need the permission:tardis.enterAll the info you need is in the docs: http://eccentricdevotion.github.io/TARDIS/

Not seeing any issues here. If you turn debugging on (
/tardisadmin debug true) there should be a TARDIS message when the server starts up that says:-

Posted Apr 27, 2013Every time I start my personal server up, the gravity wells stop working and I have to set them again. This only occurs when I use SpoutCraft. Do you know how to fix this?

Nothing has changed in the code re: farm animals since they were implemented, perhaps a WorldGuard setting?

Posted Apr 27, 2013Hi. Thanks for your hard work on this, you're the best. A question: do I need to enable something so that animals can reproduce inside the Tardis? No matter how much I feed them, there are no baby animals to be found, though I still get experience orbs. I remember I used to get baby animals at some point (not sure which version), but I've been too busy travelling through the time vortex to think about farming. Well, until now. (I'm using the latest release)

Flashing the lights tends to lag the server, so we probably won't be implementing that
@wezerds
Please start a ticket, describe exactly what you are doing (step by step), tell us the versions of the plugins/bukkit you are using (and please DON'T say 'latest'), what messages do you get in game, what messages are printed in the console? - the more information you can give us the better - just saying it is not working will not allow us to find out what your problem is
