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

Eccentricnz, I have managed to get the Tardis plugin just about 100% working with modded worlds today.
You can TP to them as part of the random world selection, teleport within them, and whatnot.
There are a few bugs left with mod blocks that aren't compatible with iron doors, so I'm going to turn line 137 in TARDISUtils into a dynamically loaded list from the config file. Currently you'll occasionally find your tardis in a location where your iron door breaks.
https://github.com/eccentricdevotion/TARDIS/blob/v2.6/src/main/java/me/eccentric_nz/TARDIS/utility/TARDISUtils.java#L137
Once I do that I'll post my changes, if you care to look over them.

If you can't grow rooms, then you didn't set it up right, simple as that.
What does
/mv info TARDIS_TimeVortexoutput?-

Eccentricnz, the behaviour of MCPC+ seems to be needed; Tropicraft world returns environment TROPICRAFT, Twilight Forest returns TWILIGHTFOREST, etc. for ENVIRONMENT.
He suggested the best workaround would be for TARDIS to pull all Bukkit environment enums and instead of checking NORMAL, just include everything that's not NETHER or END?

It's not returning the correct world type. I'm going to bug the MCPC+ dev for a fix.

Block types shouldn't matter, neither should biomes, but if it has a custom environment name (ie not NORMAL, NETHER or THE_END) that could make a difference - though shouldn't if the world-repeater is set to the first tick (the current world), and the TARDIS is already in the world.
Like I say I won'y know for sure until I can test it.

It's a MCPC+ server, like I said, so that's probably what's wrong.
The worlds have non-vanilla biomes and non-vanilla blocks and all sorts of madness.
Would the world block types or biome names keep the Tardis from working properly?

It's set to false, and
worlds:
world: true
DIM-17: false
DIM-127: true
is in my config.yml.
I also disabled all the "respect" settings in the config and reloaded the tardis, no go.

Also check you have
per_world_permsset to false, and that the worlds have been added to the TARDIS config'sworlds:section-

Yeah, that's the strange part, I have no protection plugins. It's just a small home server for my family, no worldguard/towny/anything like that.
I'll tinker with the settings.
