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 Jun 4, 2013The TARDIS textures is not working. I have my texture online working http://mincraft.bootthanoo.com/tex.zip and have added it via the commands, but it still doesn't seem to work. Are you able to shed any light on this?
allow_tp_switch: true /tardistexture on /tardistexture in http://minecraft.bootthanoo.com/tex.zip

I notice in the video that the TARDIS doesn't do the de-materialise block switching (wool -> ice -> glass -> wool etc) as it should, it just seems to skip the whole disappearing act and appears at its next destination... Would be good to see your config settings...

Yep, can definitely see the problem, but if I do the same thing on my server it works perfectly, unfortunately your video doesn't show me the steps I would need to do to replicate it...

Sorry to be one of those people that repost in an attempt to get a problem solved. Here's a video on whats happening. It was done quick and dirty but it should get the job done.

Like I've posted a number of times already (even lower down the page...), I cannot reproduce the TARDIS leaving behind a duplicate when it dematerialises, so details of the exact steps required to reproduce the problem would be very helpful...
Videos will help even more...

Posted Jun 3, 2013Plugin was working like a dream until recently. Before the 2.4 Update the TARDIS started leaving itself parked in the same spot when it de-materialized. I upgraded to 2.4 in hope to have the problem fixed but to no avail.
Any ideas? Help is greatly appreciated.

Posted Jun 3, 2013Hate to post again, but after finally getting the permissions right non-op's can create and use the tardis... except for destroying blocks to grow rooms. In the world config, I have all the TARDIS worlds set to survival- don't want them walking out of the tardis with things they picked up in creative. So is there a permission to allow them to destroy/ create blocks? Thanks!

Posted Jun 3, 2013I enabled eps and added a message, but when the TARDIS malfunctions, and I die, the TARDIS still does not initiate the NPC. I do have the Citizens plugin as well. What should I do?

Hello, I got the most recent beta working(had to disable factions hooking). I love the new features, a couple things I think would be cool to see, is they keyboard added to the default control room schematics, and the ability for HADS to detect explosion damage and/or collision damage. (:
Dunno if it would be possible, but I've seen plugins that alter the appearance of timeflow in minecraft, it would be cool to switch to a normal day/night cycle at say 800x-1000x speed while "in the time vortex" so if one were to look outside the tardis while traveling they would see a vortex like effect across the sky.
Also, it would be cool to have a feature that can be turned on or off, to include a list of all schematics on http://tardis.thatsnotacreeper.com/browse.php, and allow them to be built/downloaded if they don't already exist in the custom schematics directory.
