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 18, 2013@GalenGhostbane The TARDIS condenser chest is added automatically when creating a TARDIS (if
create_worldsis true in the config)Just tested placing a chest and running
/tardis update condenserand worked as expected.You can also grow an 'Eye of Harmony' room which will automatically create a condenser chest inside the eye.

Posted Jun 18, 2013I love the plugin... it's a Big hit on MinecraftInferno! Put it in a week ago, and it's all the rage with the DEV team and donators (it's a donator perk!) But the only tutorial videos I can find indicate that to create a condenser chest, you place the chest, do /tardis update condenser, and then click it. However the command results in the error "you can't make a backdoor here"
One player showed me how to do it, and I made a condenser in my own Tardis, but I forgot the steps. I've been looking for the answer to this for two days. :) Can you point me in the right direction? =====

Is the old world loaded on the server using a multi-world plugin? If not, install plugin, import world, /tardis comehere

Posted Jun 18, 2013Ok. So I made a fantastic TARDIS right, but I, um, moved worlds on the server. Like changed the level name in server.properties Now, I want my TARDIS in this new world, but it says it is currently in the old one. No problem right? /tardis comehere. Could not get previous location of TARDIS! How do I get my TARDIS in this new world without deleting my fantastic interior and starting all over?

It was a client side error, everything works great now. Any plans on adding explosion/fire damage to HADS?

Posted Jun 17, 2013Electric, what are the chances or making a config option along the lines of require_permission_for_area_park=false or something like no_permissions_mode?
I run a vanilla server with JUST this, and I have realized that I can't give myself permission to park in an area nor can anybody else. I don't want to get a cruddy permissions plugin, and every time I do it just doesn't work... trust me. I'm not a noob, I know what I'm doing, but it just doesn't accept permissions! I beg you to remove the requirement for permission to tp to an area!
Edit: I mean, don't remove it, make it an option for the people who don't use permissions!

As in when you do a
/tardisroom add?or after a server restart?
EDIT: never mind, I just added a check to make sure it is lowercase when adding a room schematic

Ah, sorry, that's what I meant also. Somewhat. But you CAN grow other console rooms people have made, add the stuff, change your door location. :P

I mean like making your own CUSTOM console room, loading it into the TARDIS user schematics, and using if for a NEW TARDIS build, using the seed block as the base of the stack..... just have to figure how how to get my little charged creeper friend in it.....
