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

Have you pinpointed the problem? I got alerts for a couple of comments you posted, but you must have deleted them before I got a chance to read them fully...

I suggest you re-read my post on ARS, it is most definitely NOT finished.
No you can't make Lapis walls in the main console room, but you can change the walls of rooms to Lapis with the
/tardisprefs wallcommand-

Posted Aug 18, 2013I there any way to make the tardis interior walls as lapis? I know that a lapis block only makes orange wool.
I also saw you finished the ARS. Is there anything i should know, such as where the door side is on the ARS map, or how it works with a larger console?

You need to negate the permission, so either:
- -tardis.bookor
tardis.book: falsedepending on what permissions plugin you use

Posted Aug 18, 2013Exciting stuff... http://keetley.servegame.com:8080/job/TARDIS/333/
Still very much a work in progress (probably not for public servers...), but definitely a huge step forward.
Testers may want to use these: https://github.com/eccentricdevotion/TARDIS/tree/v2.6/src/main/resources/ARS - rename (remove the 16) and replace default schematics in plugins/TARDIS/schematics/

There must still be a record in the database. The only checks I'm making when a new TARDIS is created is if the player already has one (i.e. they have a recored in the DB) and whether they have permission. The TARDIS config entries should be irrelevant, and technically whether the world folder is there or not is too (you just get a "The world already exists" message from MultiWorld).
So I think that the issue is not actually with MultiWorld but something else, though what, I don't know - as I can't reproduce your problem on a test server.

Posted Aug 17, 2013hello eccentricnz...
hate to be a pain, because we all LOVE this plugin, and you have been quite helpful whenever I have a question...
But the multiworld hook just still isn't working quite right. I've gotten used to it. when someone wants to delete their tardis to upgrade to a different model, they have to delete it, then I have to manually remove their info from the Tardis Config File, and also remove the world data from the Multiworld config file. This has worked before. they have been able to make a new tardis.
But tonight, after recently upgrading to the 2.5.6, I have done these steps, and the player still cannot make a new tardis. His old Tardis world map has been deleted, and I removed is sections from the Tardis config.yml and the multiworld.yml. He still can't make a new tardis.
Where else should I be looking to correct this?

The line of code that the error points to is trying to load the chunk at the door location e.g.
world.getChunkAt(location).load();If this line throws a NullPointerException it usually means the world is not available

It's not loaded, do either /mw(or mv if you use multiverse) load TARDIS_WORLD_[Playername] if it's not your TARDIS then type the world you're trying to travel to.

That starting book is a part of the tardis.book permission.
