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 Jul 2, 2013There is a 1.6.1 dev build on the TARDIS Jenkins server - have added new blocks, and started with the horses - be aware that there is NO horse API yet, so no horse attributes will be preserved until this is added to Bukkit, and I haven't added a stables room yet... Use at your own risk!
v2.4 should work as normal with the new build, barring Emergency Program One which needs an update to Citizens

Posted Jul 2, 2013You shouldn't expect any of your plugins to be updated until there's at least a beta build out. The dev builds are too much of a moving target.

Actually no, we have to wait until Bukkit updates to 1.6, NOT Minecraft...

Posted Jun 30, 2013Alright, so I decided to delete PermissionsBukkit altogether and it works fine now. I think I need to test it out on a different vanilla server before I do it on my TARDIS server. Oh, and I just love messing around with the Emergency Program One message. ;)

Thanks. As you can probably tell, I am a complete noob when it comes to configs.

Posted Jun 29, 2013I looked back at the past comments and found that very basic permissions file that you set up as an example. The only thing is I don't know what to do with that.

TARDIS does nothing to prevent world editing, so you need to look to some other plugin which is preventing it. Maybe you don't have permission to build in that world, check your perms plugin, or world guard regions

I am op, so that should not be a problem. My permissions.yml is empty, so that should not be conflicting.

Did you check this: http://eccentricdevotion.github.io/TARDIS/faqs.html#spawn
You also have an error in the server permissions.yml, normally you don't need to add perms in that file, use a permissions manager instead

Rescue command works fine in my tests for non-op players, no special permissions required. Maybe another plugin is intercepting the chat message
