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

add_perms: true, but haven't edited the permissions.txt file in the plugins/TARDIS folder. Either:add_perms: false- you'll have to manually add players to the appropriate group for the TARDIS_world-

Posted Aug 7, 2013Hi! Just stopped by to say: Thanks. Your plugin is AMAZING! However; I have a few things i'd like to mention.
1.) I've noticed, that whenever someone on my server makes a new TARDIS, it creates the new world folder (Obviously) but, adds a new permission group... known as "first_group"
This is aggrivating to keep up with constantly having to put people back at their normal ranks and add each TARDIS world name to the GroupManager config file so that any changes I make in the overworld (Normal world) apply to this one too. (E.g. A promotion from Citizen to Moderator.) Is there any way you can fix it so that it doesn't over-ride my permissions? Or add a way to disable it in the config?
2.) Just to let you know (Not sure if you know or not.) Spoutcraft is no longer around. The new MC Launcher screwed them up and they can't continue it. Which means, it'll not be updated to 1.6. Is there any-other way to get the TARDIS sounds?

what i mean is i get irritated when im looking for help on the page but all i can see is the change log so could you possibly make the change log a separate thing to make it easier to find certain things and can you please explain how to make it in its own dimension or give me a link or something because its irritating and i just don't know how to fix it because when i get Multiverse core and i configure the tardis to where it should work it makes the snowball breaking animation behind the door and nothing happens and sorry if what i said earlier afeneded you just im getting frustrated with the plugin and i cant fix it

I could say what I think, but I'll just point you at the official docs: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/tardis/#w-official-documentation-faqs (above the current change log btw...)

Posted Aug 6, 2013there are some things wrong with this plugin like the fact if i try to get Multiverse to work i cant because the plugin isn't set up to where if you have Multiverse it will automatically be in its own dimension and the fact that i cant find what i need to find because the front page is basically nothing but the change log so if you could please just set up the plugin to make it bigger on the inside when you get Multiverse and clean up the front page and put the updates on its own tab thing on the side with the rest than i would highly appreciate it thank you edit: and also can you please for the love of god add a tardis delete command because every time i try to configure it some times it screws up and my tardis was deleted but still owned by me
