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

Just done a quick test, on a fresh install, and not seeing any issues as you have described...
Also the error it is throwing is not specific to MySQL - it has to do with the Java SQL statement, if there was a problem with the SQL it would manifest itself when using SQLite as well as they share the same code - the only thing that changes is the database connection.
Could you make a proper ticket with your server setup details please

I'm already aware of the issues in those links - I think when I've merged my code from the dev version to release, something has sneaked in that shouldn't, I'll do some testing tonight and see if I can spot the problem. It runs perfectly in v2.7-beta-1 but I wouldn't recommend updating just yet.

Posted Dec 15, 2013MySql error in regards to the database.
I set up everything properly and am using 2.6.1 on craftbukkit build #2959 . Turned MySql on and the databases were created on plugin load, however TARDISes failed to be created. SeedBlock was removed, achivement got, but nothing happened. Here is a debug error that is spammed when doing so.
12:03:39 AM TARDIS: Debug: ResultSet error for blocks table! No operations allowed after connection closed.Connection was implicitly closed by the driver.
You can replace blocks table with ALL of the tables and once per value set, and you can imagine how spammed the console is. I think you need to rewrite your MySql code. Here are some helpful websites.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14205922/operation-not-allowed-after-resultset-closed-vendorerror0
BTW PreciousStones, Logblock, Iconomy, and other plugins work with the database, so I don't believe its a version mismatch error with the plugin or CB build.

Posted Dec 14, 2013Hey, for some reason when I install the plugin, it says: Could not find TARDIS map files, some recipes will not work! I've tried reinstalling and reinstalling, but it doesn't help. When I try to create a TARDIS, it won't build. Any suggestions?

Have you got the circuit map files in the correct location? It will tell you in the server log if you haven't.
@futhead_lord_epicz
Answered multiple times in the comments and tickets... So sounds like you didn't read the change logs when updating...
@JelloMOO
You most likely don't have the plugin set up correctly, check the log for errors and make a ticket if problems persist
@Tehepicbanana
You must be using Minecraft / Craftbukkit 1.7.x, and v0.9 of the Resource Pack, and check your volume settings as well.... And make sure that you have actually enabled the resource pack - just putting it in the resource pack folder is not enough

If an admin/op wanted to damage your tardis there is nothing you can do about it. If you cant trust the admin who runs the server, then its time to find another server, there are lots of them to choose from.

It's my opinion if you want defence / offence / battle TARDIS features, you're playing the wrong game and should probably go and join the COD crowd. I can categorically state that while I'm in charge of developing this plugin, there will never be these kind of features added.
Besides, requested and declined already here: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/tardis/tickets/380-tardis-time-war/ and http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/tardis/tickets/231-add-this-please/ - please use the Tickets search function before posting anything (it called Filters)

I think something similiar to this was suggested some time ago, and the answer was no. To me this would probably not be appropriate as the Tardis doesn't have weapons. Also rolling back an area that was changed is very CPU intensive, not a good idea to have a feature like that for everyone to use.
Anyway, its just my opinion, what gets implemented is not my decision. But its always good to hear ideas with a description on how it might work, instead of something vague like 'dood, ya should make tardis's more epic'.

Posted Dec 13, 2013Could you do a tardis self defense system. So from the inside of the tardis you could fire flame charge and arrows an lighten tnt and lava. But you could undo whatou did just in case. If you could that would be cool.
Thanks
