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

Version 2.8 (and higher) of this plugin includes a translation feature (the /tardissay command) that connects to the Lingva translation service.

Yes, although I had to get them from an older download as they weren't in the 2.5.8 download and they didn't seem to appear in the plugins/TARDIS folder.

No spout required.
If you have changed the TARDIS difficulty level, you'll need to reload the server, to reload the recipes.
Are the map files in the data folder of the world specified in server.properties?

Posted Aug 30, 2013Are the 3 maps the only thing required for the recipes? (Not spout or anything?)
None of the recipes work for me...

sbongbob...did you not read what I wrote..I said that months ago about the malfunction sound. Read the earlier comments and you will find that its been discussed before.
You obviously have not set up the plugin correctly if you cant grow rooms, it works perfectly on my server and hundreds or other servers this plugin is running on.

Markdf is right, there is no point doing anything with sounds until there is better support for resource packs. I am not going to add code now that I will just have to rewrite later... + it would be cool to hear the cloister sound when there is a malfunction, but I DON'T want to hear it randomly when the sound I would have to replace would occur elsewhere.

Can you please make it so we don't have to use Spout, and make it a Resource Pack instead. ;D
PLS

The cloister bell sound was suggested months ago...by me..but it's unlikely to happen until custom sounds can be included, ie not by replacing a default sound effect. 1.7 will allow you change one of the current sound effects for what ever you want, although I see no point in doing that as I don't want to hear the cloister bell except when there is a tardis malfunction.

try this: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/53758864/config.yml it's not throwing any errors, and I've removed a few extra unneeded lines - if a group inherits another groups perms, you don't need to repeat them in that group...

I ran it through the YAML Parser, I got the following errors.
ERROR:
while parsing a block mapping
in "<unicode string>", line 1, column 1:
users:
^
expected <block end>, but found '<block mapping start>'
in "<unicode string>", line 46, column 5:
default:

What do these mean?
