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 21, 2013Might want to recheck the latest beta concerning the room Rail. Made one with 2.5-beta 1, and it was in correct position, but lower rails and post were gone(possibly due to making it in an Empty). Updated to 2.5-beta 2, and re-made the room. it generated 1 block too Low, have to jump up one block to get back out the door.

Posted Jul 20, 2013I think I found a bug, my wife made a TARDIS remote for my son and gave it to him, now every time he calls his TARDIS to himself with it, she gets a message in the chat saying to left click the handbrake to exit.... Kind of odd

Turn off update checking - if the update check site is down it may take some time to time out

Posted Jul 19, 2013My server started hanging nearly indefinitely on enabling the tardis mod during startups or reloads, I did not change anything, then, later it started working perfectly again, I do not want this to happen again when I have a high server load and I need to reload my server. Do you know what could have cause this. An again I did nothing to change my server in any way having to do with the TARDIS mod when it stopped and started working again.

What version of Factions are you using? TARDIS is compiled against Factions 1.8.2 which I believe is not compatible with previous/newer versions. Have you tried setting
respect_factions: false?-

OK, just the ticket will have to do... make sure you include as much info as possible about how the server is setup. Maybe a ZIP of just the plugins folder? Then at least I'll have the same settings as your server.

i'll make a ticket sometime tonight, but zipping the server would take probably 10 hours to download, 5 hours to zip, and then another 10 hours to upload.....'

Posted Jul 19, 2013There's a problem. People try to use stone buttons to travel, but it does nothing and gives this error in console:
Looks like it might be related to Factions...

Please create a ticket, follow the guidelines here and here.
If at all possible, ZIP up your server folder, and upload it somewhere like DropBox, so I can download it and test directly on my local computer.

Posted Jul 19, 2013I am having an issue regarding creating new TARDIS's. I have 7 TARDIS's on my server, those are fully working and operational, however, I have an issue when making new TARDIS's on any of the blocks, iron, gold, emerald etc. It says it has imported and created the world, however, no exterior is created to be able to enter the TARDIS. I am able to teleport to that world however there is no interior to be found. I wonder is this a bug with all of the betas? Or is it a bug with my side?
