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

Using Tekkit/BukkitForge? Not supported sorry, but you can use it by NOT using a multi-world plugin...

Tested Tekkit with Multi-World plugin last night and got a nice crash entering the TARDIS :( Turns out that even though ForgeBukkit said Multi-World was enabled and MultiWorld said it had created the TARDIS world, all it did was add the world config options and never actually created the world. Bummer

Actually I have an unfinished 5th Dr. console I need to finish to send to you, and another room from the 4th Doctor I haven't even started yet.

Posted May 7, 2013Can I ask, are you working on the 11's Doctors new Tardis for the new Tardis update?
Because it looks really nice and since we have quartz it will be easy to make, and if you like I could try make it in my spare time if you don't have enough time!

Big "Tickets" link at the top of the page...
I've tried to build a 10th doctor's console before, and seen a couple of schematics but they (including mine) were rubbish... If you're going to submit a ticket request for a 10th doctor's console, better have some screenshots or a schematic to hand...

Posted May 7, 2013How do you make a ticket for this website? And would it be possible to have the 10th doctors tardis interior as one of the secondary control rooms?

Thanks for being on the case - you're right that is the preferred method as it means I don't have to troll through the comments to find what you guys suggest and it's more likely to make it into the plugin - BUT markdf has been a crucial cog in the development of TARDIS for some time, so as far as I am concerned he can do as he pleases
@markdf
Turned your comment into a ticket :)

Posted May 7, 2013Suggestion for when the mythical API is released (I don't remember it being mentioned before), when the Tardis malfunctions the the cloister bell should be heard.

Posted May 6, 2013I found a very interesting plugin that works with Tardis. It's called MyPet. It essentially lets your pet follow you through multiverse worlds as you teleport. My cat followed me onto the Tardis and then off the Tardis when I arrived at my destination world. Pretty cool!

I'd say pTweaks is the likely culprit (if any) as it changes chunk loading, will do some testing when time allows
