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

There is, but it requires the world to either use TARDISChunkGenerator or be a FLAT world type
See this comment for setup with Multiworld: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/tardis/tickets/200-problems-with-multiworld-features/?comment=1
You might be able to adapt this to your server, but I don't know anything about Mystcraft

Posted Jul 4, 2013Is there a way to disable the own world requirement for creating rooms? I'm running the plugin on a FTB server, and as you know the Tardis doesn't build the console room when using Bukkit Forge. I found a way around this by creating a void world with Mystcraft, then placing the seed on the provided platform, charging the Tardis and traveling to the overworld. This allows the console to be created, but when I go to add rooms I'm not allowed because you need it's own world.
I tried to use Multiverse and Multiworld, both work well when creating a normal, nether, and end worlds, but generators seem to crash the server when traveling to them, this includes tping and entering the tardis. I much prefer the Mystcraft method around this, because I am able to create a world with 2 suns and a moon, surronded by a black stary skys, and magenta nebulas(clouds), also it makes being a Time Lord that much harder.

Make a ticket, follow the guidelines here: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/tardis/#w-bugs-requests
I have never had any of my test servers crash every 10 seconds when TARDIS/multiworld is installed (neither have there been any other reports of the same nature)... and I can't do anything until I have more information, you need to do some basic troubleshooting yourself first (like disabling everything except TARDIS and Multiworld) to confirm what the issue is.

Wall blocks - if orange wool in original schematic, then the middle block in the TARDIS creation stack is used instead of the orange wool when it is first built (except for Lapis).
Floor blocks can only be changed for rooms.

But probably because the schematic is not square ie width = length
