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

Yep, that could work; where does the door go, or is there no door, just an opening?
I had already started putting 'donuts' around the doors, but that's as far as I got...

How is this? Each room is in it's 16x16 with a 1 block border on the top and right, this will allow passage ways between the rooms.

Ideally they would be, but that makes it hard to centre the door in the wall... I'm still trying to find a compromise between practical coding and room aesthetics that I'm happy with, so that ARS and proper room jettisoning can become a reality.

EP1 gets disabled in the config if Citizens is not found, so make sure it is enabled -
/tardisadmin emergency_npc trueAlso check that the Citizens plugin is actually enabled, i.e. make sure the build you have is compatible with the version of CraftBukkit you are running. The latest download on bukkitdev is for 1.6.1, you may need to go here: http://ci.citizensnpcs.com/job/Citizens2/

Like I commented before (x2), you need to post your server log so that we can see what is going on. I know that the latest build is working with Tekkit Classic because I've had it running on a test server. Please follow the guidelines for bug reports.

You need to install a permissions plugin, and then you need to give your players permission - the most basic being
tardis.usewhich lets you do most things. See the permissions page for other permission nodes: http://eccentricdevotion.github.io/TARDIS/permissions.htmlAlmost all TARDIS permissions default to OP, so if you are an OP then you can do stuff, if you're not then you need to have the appropriate permission.

Posted Jul 11, 2013It´s me again. Nobody can build and enter his Tardis, unless he´s an OP. If a player built a Tardis being Op, he can´t enter his Tardis being default.
Why can nobody build and enter a Tardis? What can I set in the config, that every user can build, enter and fly a Tardis, because that they also can´t do.
Can you help me (again)?
If there is no other possibility, what can I do, that everybody can do everthing with this plugin, but actually I don´t want that, because they would also have the /tardisadmin rights.

All of it, no, you can change the orange wool at creation time, by substituting quartz for lapis

There is no beta-2, but you need the most recent build - if it says "already scanned for lamps" then you don't have it.

You'll want checks for both replacing sponges with lamps and replacing lamps with sponges. I goofed a couple times and had it replace blocks on me. Whoops!
