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 18, 2013I installed everything as I should but I have some things that don“t work for me
When I try to go to the nether by clicking the redstone repeater it just takes me to the normal world instead. same happens with the end. Also when I try to make a room it keeps saying 'You cannot grow rooms unless your TARDIS was created in its own world!' And that's kind of weird because I haven't even got multiverse installed... But the rest works fine and it's really cool just a pity that those things don't work for me. Please help me out!

Players should only get the book if they have the permission
tardis.book- this permission is a child oftardis.useso anyone with that permission will also have the book one.If you want to restrict players from building a TARDIS, but allow them to be companions, don't give them
tardis.use, but onlytardis.enter(and any other perms you think they might need) http://eccentricdevotion.github.io/TARDIS/permissions.htmlI presume you are using bPermissions or GroupManager for your perms... so you need to edit the permissions.txt file in the TARDIS folder and change the
#first_groupto the name of the rank you have given TARDIS build rights to (make sure you leave the#in placeSee: http://eccentricdevotion.github.io/TARDIS/add-permissions.html

Posted May 17, 2013Just installed the plugin, it's great. Only issue is, I want to make the use of the TARDIS a special rank. I have used the correct permissions to do it, but when a new player comes on, they are still given the default TARDIS book. When a player builds a TARDIS, they are put in a group with a strange default name. Where can I change the name of the rank it goes to? Could I make it so that no rank or grouping changes when they build their first TARDIS?
Thanks, Pascal

It charge everything at the same moment, and I don't know where that come from, so my server and not plugin(sorry) is overload.
I thing you know that exist an other TARDIS plugin and this plugin are faster in charge than your, if you can try to do the same thing, that will be great.

You need to post the entire error from the log, there are lots of player interact events, but the log will show which one is causing the error - use a paste
@jamesj989
It's a permission:
tardis.skeletonkey@MrSx009
?

Posted May 17, 2013Well uh... It seems the randomizer being broken has happened again without deleting any worlds at all. The console for the server says this when a player attempts to hit the randomizer.
CONSOLE: Could not pass event PlayerInteractEvent to TARDIS v2.3

Have been keeping an eye on server memory usage a bit lately and have not noticed any increase in memory when running TARDIS. A
/nolagg examine 72000also returned favourable results...-

All versions 2.x have been backwards compatible to at least 1.2.5...

Sadly I can't use any other versions as the MCPC has to be 1.4.7. Unless the newer versions are backwards compatible I guess I can't use it.

You're running an outdated beta version, try updating first. Don't have a lot of time to support unofficial Bukkit servers, but create a ticket if you still have issues.

The new MC launcher is already a big step in the plugin API direction, it will get here eventually... and I really don't have time to support both this plugin and a mod...

Yes but the Minecraft plugin API may not ever come out.
It's a good idea and you have done great work without it.
