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 22, 2013I need to delete some TARDIS Worlds because the server crashed during creation and the players cannot enter the TARDIS. Every time I delete a TARDIS world from my server, upon restart it reappears. Is there an in-game command for deleting a players TARDIS? This malfunction is hurting my server and I would like to fix it as quickly as possible. Thank You.

Well the plugin doesn't think it is your TARDIS, as it can't find a database record with your name attached - so you could probably just build a new one. If not delete the plugins/TARDIS folder again

Posted Jul 22, 2013Thank you so much for the help. Last question, I can't enter my tardis, but I made it before I created the world (stupid me) so I decided to remove it and rebuild it, but when I try to exterminate it, it says "Don't Grief the Tardis", how do I fix this issue?

No not really like plots. Where the TARDIS is created in the normal world is where the inner TARDIS is created in the TARDIS world. It does reserve the chunks that the TARDIS is built in, but other TARDISes should still be built some distance away so that players have room to grow.
Also, if the default TARDIS world is not called TARDIS_TimeVortex (which also needs to use TARDISChunkGenerator) you will not be able to grow rooms. See: http://eccentricdevotion.github.io/TARDIS/time-vortex.html

Posted Jul 22, 2013I scratched that and redownloaded everything, and deleted all existing TARDIS's and data. I made my TARDIS, but could not get in with the Sonic screwdriver, or a regular stick. I set up so the TARDIS's have a default world. Does this create a world where everyones TARDIS is set up like plots?

Broken stone buttons usually means that a world has been deleted but it is still listed in the TARDIS config file. A restart should usually fix this, otherwise stop server, edit config, start server.
/tardis occupy?-

Posted Jul 21, 2013All the stone buttons are broken in all the existing Tardis's, any fix without deleting the worlds and such? Plus, I left my Tardis and it said it was Occipied, I did /occupy, and it still says its occupied?
