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
Official documentation & FAQs

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 6, 2013Thanks for responding!! :DD
But it seems I have fixed it! All I did was delete the TARDIS folder under plugins It was rather bizarre though, I am not quite sure what happened. All I did was set a few locations to teleport to with the /tardis setdest command.

Yeah, that's one of the versions I tried, but doing a
/mvlistshows all worlds as unloaded. Will have a search/play around as I'm sure I saw yesterday that MV was working with BukkitForge, also might try MultiWorlds as well-

Posted May 6, 2013Hey! Great mod, but for some reason, I can't get the TARDIS to de-materialize! As in, say I move the TARDIS to a different location, the "old" TARDIS's blocks just stay there, and I have to go manually remove them.
Is this a bug or am I just being silly? Thanks!! :DD

Posted May 6, 2013Any way you can make the Multi-world type plugin yourself? I am having trouble with the developers of the two specified in the post with them updating their plugins. It frustrating.

I can't get Multiverse to load without errors - or - it says it is loaded but doesn't actually load the worlds, what version are you using? In fact I can't get the server to start at all without some kind of error somewhere...
I took MV out and created a TARDIS, and it was filled with stone (it's not replacing the the interior with AIR for some reason) once I had cleared it out in creative I could time travel OK without crashing though

http://www.technicpack.net/article/view/tekkit-104-available-now.17 ( for the tekkit server ) http://build.technicpack.net/job/BukkitForge/? ( for the bukkitforge ) You'll need to adjust the version of tekkit to 1.0.4 by clicking the gear button under the tekkit selection picture (space ship one :P). The list of plugins: Tardis, Tardis chunkgen, essentials, multiverse-core. the TARDIS plugin was your lastest 1.5.1 build. And I did delete the old tardis, by using /tardis exterminate, and then I toggled it to not make new worlds, and then made a new one, and I went inside then crashed, and then I deleted that one, and tried to do what you told someone earlier on how to make the interiors build on one map, ( I would check who, but then I'd lose my writing ) and it wouldn't let me in so I teleported there via multiverse, and crashed.

There are quite a few public servers, have a look at the web site of http://www.thatsnotacreeper.com/ to see if this server appeals to you. Take note of the 'new builder' information page.

Did you delete the old TARDIS and create a new one after toggling the create_worlds setting?
Can you post a ticket please, include your exact setup, including version numbers and plugin list, download links for Tekkit/BukkitForge would be perfect.
I will reproduce your setup and see if I can find out what the problem is...

The plugin is working just fine, I'm using bukkitforge the only problem is as soon as I enter the door I crash, so I tried toggling it to where the TARDIS(es) do not make a new world, and it still crashes.

On the todo list for the next version (2.4)
@mci1
Have been thinking we need a website for schematics will see what can be done this weekend
@mckirito08
So download a new jar... The server I play on is open to anybody to join, the server admin is a regular contributor to the comments, perhaps you should look through them and find it...

So basically, people asked for this type of thing already? Well, will you be keeping it as an idea or are you placing it in the code right now? Or did you finish it already? I don't know, please reply with an answer. PS: Sorry for bothering you.

What? If this were a singleplayer mod... but is a craftbukkit plugin! I can see the TARDIS of the others taking off!
I also want de-materializing effect, please.

Did you delete the ENTIRE TARDIS file before you ran the plugin? *EDIT* Would be really nice if there was a website that you could share your schematics on so everyone could build a better tardis world together.

'Cause when you're in the TARDIS you can't see the Police Box... players only really get to see the materialisation effect when they build the TARDIS or do a /tardis comehere, so there didn't seem much point.
Or because I'm too lazy!

Posted May 6, 2013I've noticed the tardis does not have a de-materializing effect. Why's that?
