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
The documentation is here: https://tardis.pages.dev/

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 10, 2013Currently in versions 1.5.1+ this PLUGIN creates some serious server errors when users attempt to delete their TARDIS in use with the multiverse plugin. Thisis because in 1.5.1 multiverse errors out when the delete command is called, could you please add world_generation support for the "multiworld" plugin, so users could continue to all have their own world for their TARDIS, without never being able to delete and build a new TARDIS? Thanks!

OK, for now, update the position of all the other repeaters. Will look at the code now...
And in the meantime you should update to v2.3...

Would love to have time to visit your server, but life often gets in the way, I really only get to actually play Minecraft about once a week (if I'm lucky).
Screenshot(s)...?

Its either because you're flying the tardis wrong, or you need to re update some buttons/repeaters.

Posted May 9, 2013An Idea: You know to make the tardis more realistic you can add an empty sign, which when you right click (or left click), in the first line you can type the world, in the second line, coordinates or player's name, or dest, or area etc. and that would be like the doctor's little keyboard where he types where to go instead of using commands :D

Posted May 9, 2013Some suggestions: 1 - put the lever next to the REPETER in the control room to choose the + or -. (they are beings on the ground). 2 - To ensure that we can choose which block on the TARDIS, because personnaly I'd rather the Glowstone to the torch. 3 - Ensure that we can change materials inside the TARDIS.
Good day to all, SX009

The Nether and End need to be enabled if you want to travel there as they are disabled by default:
What happens if you try to set a destination by command? Try:
/tardistravel home-

Posted May 8, 2013Hi, I'm having a problem with this plugin. Only one of my players has the tardis.create permission, yet all players are getting the book and are able to make their own TARDIS. The only permissions they have are tardis.use and tardis.enter. Why is this happening? I use bPermissions for my permissions.
