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

TARDIS build #458 fixes the fact that you can't update repeaters if they have never been inserted into the database in the first place... if the control doesn't exist it will insert a new record, if it already exists, then it just updates.

I'm not sure what you mean with the consoles...
Yes, you can change the outside, click the Chameleon Circuit sign on the TARDIS console and choose a different preset.

actually i think i've figured it out. you CANNOT manually update the repeaters for it to work. before, i had repeaters in the schematic and i manually updated them. now that i have the mushroom stem in the schematic, the button works fine!

Hello. As you know the gold block,iron block,diamond block and emerald block all have there very own console rooms is their anyway to change that with a command that use's a schematic and use's it to create a console room as you enter the tardis. Also can you change the outside great plugin btw.

What did you think? It was laggy in the beginning but I think it turned out to be decent.

Ahh, custom schematics, now we're getting somewhere - would have been a useful fact to know from the beginning...
There are a couple of things to note about custom schematics in TARDIS v2.6:
So the reason the stone button has not been working is the same as the reason I gave for the bug in the Redstone TARDIS - the plugin doesn't know where the repeaters are and you need to update those first.

1. i actually meant the block that you place in the schematic (i.e. a cake for the handbrake)
2. good to know im not alone :P
3. its a bit more complicated then that, i mean with the custom 'obsidian' tardis. i THINK -think- that i've figured it out. if i did, then that means that it just needs to face south :P
thanks for trying, though

If i am understanding the first one, you are looking for the name of the terminal sign. 1. to set the Terminal = /tardis update terminal 2. I also have the issue with the stone button not working after I type /tardis update button on a custom console. Works with the default ones though.... 3. type /tardis update door on the reverse side of the door. for example you need to be looking at your console thru the door when you do the update command.

Posted Nov 30, 20133 things: 1. what is the schematic block for the terminal? 2. you probably already know, but the button does not select a location when pushed. 3. it would seem with the custom tardis console, if the door is not placed by hand (sometimes even if it IS placed by hand) then you will fall out of the world. i have experimented alot with this, and that is the only explanation that i can come to. if im wrong and there's a way for me to fix this, please tell me.
