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

Still good to know, I'll add a check. TARDIS v2.6 has some big changes in DB handling - 99% of SQL update, delete, and insert statements are run asynchronously - and there are also changes to way that Police Box locations are saved - making them far more robust

Not the most constructive of comments... What do you think is wrong with the SQLite DB? I have been working on this particular problem for a while now (with markdf's help) and neither of us can pin-point the issue. If you know otherwise, please enlighten...

You need to use the 'Reply to comment' feature, as after a week and all the other comments in-between I've lost the thread of this conversation...
EDIT: found your previous post - 10 pages and 95 comments back... You never posted a ticket (as requested in my reply back then) so it's no wonder that I haven't been able to help...

Posted Sep 2, 2013Well about a week ago you told me i had it configured wrong. I've never had to configure it at all so i just deleted the plugin file and everything else that had to do with the plugin and just reinstalled it. I reloaded my custom world from the default console. When I push the button when the world repeater is set to anything but default, it tells me (worldname) disabled, so its obviously trying to give a response. But when its set to the default world, the console gives no error or anything like it. But on minecraft's end it doesn't say anything. Help?

Create the right size TARDIS: budget (iron), steampunk (coal), tom (lapis), plank (bookshelf), ARS (quartz) - all the rest are not 16 x 16 so won't work with ARS (for now, maybe...)

You only want one multi-world plugin, using different plugins at the same time will cause conflicts. Your problem is that you are probably editing the TARDIS config manually then using the server's
/reloadcommand. TARDIS saves the current config when it is disabled, so your changes are being overwritten... Use the in game/tardisadmincommands instead (no reload required). And as always read the FAQs first...
