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

It still didn't work could you recommend a better permissions manager
Also when I ran the server I got a prompt saying [TARDIS] World specific permissions plugin detected please edit plugins/TARDIS/permissions.txt not exactly sure if that could be causing the problem

Try adding the individual permissions instead of the parent one e.g.
I don't use GroupManager (it seems overly complicated to me) so perhaps someone else can offer advice, or you can ask for help from the GroupManager authors

Posted Dec 28, 2013Can someone help me with what I am doing wrong with creating new rooms for the tardis? I actually created a new tardis and am using the latest version. I keep getting the following screen. I am not sure what this pressure plate is, I have read up on the changes and still don't understand the diagram... I don't get ARS either. It doesn't seem to grow rooms. I am using craft bukkit 1.7.

No problem.
I'm not allowed to post a link to the new (as yet unapproved) TARDIS file, but if you're cunning enough, you can work out the URL but analysing the paths to the previous releases and just typing it into your browser location bar...

Before asking how many years I have, please consider POSTING these "official docs" in your comment. I have scoured your files and sites and haven't found them. The way you're talking to me is ridiculous when all you need to do is help someone out and post the correct link.

You expect me to list all 19 million+ combinations for TARDIS seed blocks? How many years do you have? The only thing that changes for each type is the bottom left corner block, the options for which are listed in the official docs...

What I asked was for the crafting recipes of eahc TARDIS type, not the names. Thank you I will look into VoxelSniper UPDATE: I must have posted the wrong error (I posted a VoxelSniper error recently) here is an updated pastebin with the error I get with /tardis delete. VoxelSniper was uninstalled when I got this error. http://pastebin.com/2L9Psmfv
