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

Man, I just thought that a really tall wind mill would be cool. Any chance custom schematics will be able to have any specified size at some point?

It was a Custom schematic with the newest Jenkins build. Since I have switched to the deluxe version. I did delete the schematics folder and the rooms file. Still no go. As a side note I mcedited a already created TARDIS (Deluxe) world and shifted the whole thing down two clicks to get it to line up with the ARS because it was building stuff in line with the doors, but two blocks down. However the smaller TARDIS's worked fine right out of the box. Thats why I only shifted the bigger one lol.
I still need to add it to a ticket for it.. oops :/

You are both probably using outdated schematics. You need to delete the TARDIS/schematics folder and rooms.yml so that the latest versions of the schematics can be installed and the room offsets updated

There are different sized ones... just none bigger than 3x3x4 - with no future plans to change ;)

Posted Nov 29, 2013I'm sure someone has asked this, but do you plan on making different size chameleon presets? Is there actually something preventing you from doing so or would you just prefer not to at this point?

buttonis correct.All TARDIS commands have tab auto-completion, so just type
/tar[tab key] up[tab key] bu[tab key]and it should put the right options in for you.If you have one of the recent builds (< #455) and a newly made REDSTONE TARDIS, you'll need to update the repeaters as well, as there is a bug with that console type.

In TARDIS v2.6-beta-3 ARS is not compatible with the larger TARDIS sizes. (There have been tickets and comments posted about this already...).
The consoles are twice as wide/tall so more slots need to be reserved for the console. You have grown a room in a slot that is actually taken up by the larger console, hence why the room is growing inside...
The final release (due soon) is compatible.
