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 May 2, 2013Hello creators of this plugin. I recently started using this plugin, and I love it a lot (even changed the top lighs in the 11th doctor's TARDIS to circle like they did when Clara first walked into the TARDIS) and I was very excited when it said that spoutcraft would let you play the TARDIS sounds and what not. I put the spoutcraft plugin on my server, opened up my spoutcraft (which I did not use in awhile) started it up got in my tardis aaaand... ....nothing. I only heard the default minecart noises, no TARDIS sounds or anything. If this was ment to be IMPLEMENTED IN THE FUTURE, I'm sorry, but I was hoping to seek the fix to this problem. I get no error in the console, and nothing shows up. I am using the beta 2.3beta-1, and I will get my spoutcraft version once I get home. Many thanks, Mci EDIT* Also would like to pitch in an idea for when the API is released, perhaps you could make a more "current" eye of harmony, like from the episode where the TARDIS engines almost explode? Floating lava ball maybe? I don't know, just want to see this plugin seem like the actual TARDIS :)
@mckirito08: Did you check your config to make sure stick was the key? @_Magno20_: This plugin does work on 1.5.2, since the server did not need to update Bukkit kept their code at 1.5.1. Running a 1.5.1 bukkit server and this plugin will still allow your players to enter and use the TARDIS plugin.

This is as epic as I am imagining?

OK, so you can't use TRIPWIRE or TRIPWIRE_HOOK, will make the relevant changes to the TARDIS code :)

If you use the default Lapis Block, you get the default Orange Wool, if you use Blue Wool you get well, Blue Wool :)

So tripwire is your key? Isn't tripwire simply string? Do you mean a tripwire hook - in which case clicking the door with it when your key preference is TRIPWIRE, will do nothing as the TARDIS will not recognise the key, you need to use TRIPWIRE_HOOK... Change the key pref to that or try STRING or STICK and try again
EDIT misread the second question...

Posted May 2, 2013There are zero errors, the tripwire simply won't interact with the door, Also one other question, shouldn't the inside of the tardis be the color of the second block on the stack? Mine turned out orange wool instead of blue, did I make a mistake, is this a reported glitch? Any info on it would be appreciated, thanks.

First thing to do is check the server log for errors... Create a ticket if there are any
To answer your other question, yes, all TARDIS 2.x versions are backwards compatible to at least 1.2.5

Posted May 1, 2013Hello having a small problem on 1.4.7 with version 2.0 whenever I click the door with my key item, nothing happens? I don't teleport into the TARDIS, is there anything specific that could cause this, would it be safe to run a 1.5.1 version?

Sure, the trailer above needs an update, so if you do a primo job, yours could be the replacement... though it's pretty much a one (eccentric) man's job these days
