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

Posted Oct 21, 2013I installed Multiverse and I still can't get my TARDIS into it's own world, it is underground. When I change it in the config file and reload my server it just changes the setting back to false. Also, how do we add in player made schematics? I am trying to add in this one: http://tardis.thatsnotacreeper.com/schematic.php?s=24

Yeah I knew about that. I was asking for an item number because we have a Multiverse Gallifrey world that has a hangar style bay for TARDIS docking and Recharging. We also have a chest full of remotes. Easier to make with a item number vice crafting them all. :D no worries,
Thanks again for the Assistance!

Not an ID number, but the remote item can be configured:

Posted Oct 20, 2013<wave> Is there, by chance, a item number associated with the remote or the locator?
CHEERS!

You can, check your setup - probably your multiworld plugin is preventing it
@nullschritt
You need to edit that file...
first_groupandsecond_groupare just placeholders for the ranks you may setup on your server - you need to change them to whatever you use-

I was able to fix it for now by adding the "modifyworld.*" permission to permissions.txt.

I'm sure, on further inspection it appears when your plugin creates the permissions for the groups "first_group" and "second_group" that by default my permission manager (groupmanager) sets the build permissions to false.
Ex:
Is there any way you could add compatibility to fix this problem?

Posted Oct 17, 2013Not sure if you know (I haven't seen it advertised on the page), but the TARDIS plugin is compatible with MCPC+.

Not being able to build has nothing to do with TARDIS, are you sure it is not this: http://eccentricdevotion.github.io/TARDIS/faqs.html#spawn

No, obviously the permissions plugin is stopping the user from building, but because the plugin doesn't add the permission to build to the individual permission files it creates.
I don't know what the permission nodes are for building/interacting, but they're not included when the plugin creates the additional worlds.
Do you know what the permission nodes are so I can manually add them?

Delete rooms.yml and let it regenerate.
And then please stop complaining about features that haven't even been officially released yet and are unfinished!
