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 11, 2013I added a save world into my server and it has a space in between the words for the name. I cant tell my tardis to go to a specified coordinate because of that space.

This is likely happening because server worlds have been removed, but there is still a record for them in config.yml. Stop the server and check the
worlds:configuration section and remove any worlds that no longer exist.-

This is likely happening because TARDIS worlds have been removed (maybe incorrectly), but there is still a record for them in the database. Make a ticket and attach your TARDIS.db file so I can take a look...

Posted Jun 11, 2013Any idea why my server is getting anywhere from 30 - 9000
[INFO] Could not convert to number
errors each time theres ANY explosion? TnT, Spells, Vtriggers, Withers, Creepers, Anything that goes boom has a chance of spamming the console to death with that error, causing reboots. Sometimes it errors like that even before the server turns on fully. It is the TARDIS plugin because it stops when I uninstall it.
Can I just disable TARDIS from even looking at TNT? because right now its a serious issue and I had to remove the plugin in order to even turn the server on.
Thanks.

No, there is no option for that, you'll have to manage it yourself. The server I play on has instructions that warn players to find a secluded spot away from spawn to create their TARDIS.
You could always set create_worlds true, then they'll never be close together...

Posted Jun 10, 2013Hey, first off. Been using this for over 5 months, and loving every players squeel of glee.
livestock can be sucked into the tardis once you've created the Farm room, and the Admins have enabled the permissions in Multiverse/world-guard. Simply have them within 2 spaces of the tardis and Enter the door. Sluuurp.
If the tardis doesn't recognize that your in it. use /tardis occupy, it toggles your in/out status
few minor things i noticed that need looking into tho. Now, when you create a new tardis, it's giving you the harmony chest in the engine-room straight off rather than them havingto earn it. While it's handy, several first timers have lost tons of valuables before they knew what it was.
And 2nd. You've set the TNT as the Jettison default, Yet when the tardis-plugin creates the World-guard Region, TNT is set to Deny untill manually changed by an admin.
Overall.. wicked work!
