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

All the room schematics have changed, you need to backup/delete the old schematics and let the plugin create the new ones...
I don't think you can take anything that that youtuber says as true, they say they have the lowdown on features that never make it into Minecraft and they usually have them weeks before anyone else - take 'MineCraft 1.6 Snapshot 13w17a Pet Bunnies, Squirrels, Mice, Crabs!' for example!

2. how stable is that beta.
Again thanks for the hard work that you do for all of us who/minecraft fans.

Current version (2.5.8): You can replace one of the existing schematics with a custom one - see http://eccentricdevotion.github.io/TARDIS/schematics.html
Next version (2.6): there will be a custom TARDIS slot and associated command similar to
/tardisroomto add a custom schematic@Murreey
Right, see what you mean, should be easy enough to implement using the
tardis.skeletonkeyperm, will add it to the todo list.-

As in, anyone with a certain permission (admin or skeletonkey I guess) can use the TARDIS controls even if Isomorphic is on. We have a lot of issues with people parking in front of other's door ways and block places etc, so it would be good to be able to move players TARDISes.

Posted Oct 16, 2013new question. Is it possible to add different console rooms to the list of available TARDIS that can be created at start? Besides the 5 that come with the plugin.

I'm really busy with other things right now, like learning Objective-C and iOS programming, plus I have two cars to fix, a race bike to build, and all the usual things that life throws at you, like doing my job, kids etc etc + summer is arriving is my part of the world :)
I promise - any spare time I get I'll be working on TARDIS - and hopefully (no promises) TARDIS v2.6 will be out about the same time as Minecraft 1.7.

TARDIS doesn't prevent building, so something else must be controlling it - check WorldGuard, permission plugin etc...
@Murreey
In what way? Give an example.
