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
Official documentation & FAQs
The documentation is here: https://tardis.pages.dev/

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

It's a client or Bukkit issue. Relogging fixes it.

Sounds pretty odd, but not something that TARDIS has control over

It was a bug that would rarely happen, about once every other week, I would be in my TARDIS and a few chunks would disappear and I would freeze in place. I would end up having to /mvtp out of the world. The chunks would be there, but it wouldn't realize it. Like, I would go back in my TARDIS and it would be there.

Caused by? World corruption? There certainly isn't any code in TARDIS that would remove all blocks except one...

What glitch where sometimes the whole inside will disappear except for the block you are on?
First time I have heard of anything like this, doesn't sound like it is the plugin doing it...

Posted Nov 26, 2013A great plugin! I use it all the time! Very easy to use. Good for any sci-fi fan and if updated please fix the tardis glitch where sometimes the whole inside will disappear except for the block you are on. Otherwise it is great.

I know the bad login isn't with TARDIS, I was just saying where my luck was going, but onto TARDIS, I just kept re-installing it and now its working. I'm not sure what happened, but I'm glad it works now. Thanks again for an amazingly fun plugin.

ARS is not compatible with the larger TARDIS sizes yet. You need to use BUDGET, ARS, PLANK, TOM or STEAMPUNK sizes

Posted Nov 26, 2013Hey, I'm using the ARS 11th Doctors Tardis, but If I manually build rooms next to a pressure plate inside, it builds the room the wrong way round, i'm facing the door when clicking the room seed and the presure plate is on the inside of the door. any help?

Bad login issues are nothing to do with TARDIS...
After clicking the TARDIS seed block, there is no difference in the code used to build TARDISes from 2.5.8 to 2.6-beta (only the in-game method to start the process has changed) so I would think going back a version is unlikely to solve the issue.

Sorry it took me a bit to reply, no I'm not using Spigot, but I did notice that I was using the beta build 2.6 beta 3, I changed to the regular 2.5.8 but now I'm having bad login issues. I'm starting to think I just have bad luck.

As far as I know (I haven't had a chance to test) v2.6 should run on Tekkit Classic - however it won't have support for the latest TARDIS features. If I get a chance today, I'll give it a whirl...

People, if your TARDIS isn't generating, you need to read the change logs or the official documentation - in other words RTFM... The default process for creation has changed

@Turabi3
That's a really terrible idea, an old version will not have all the cool new features
