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

Posted Jan 14, 2014You said you would be able to put all the Tardis's in one world and still let them create rooms with the new update, but I just tried it, and it does not work.

Default Server Admin Circuit should use BEDROCK not OBSIDIAN. Check recipes.yml, if it is not BEDROCK then delete the file to let it regenerate a new up-to-date copy on server restart.
Also try:
/tardisrecipe a-circuit-

The server admin circuit i believe. Where you use the obsidian blocks with the oscilator. I reinstalled my server and it still doesn't want to make that circuit. However, it is awesome that you added the /tardisgive command as it does work through that. I have a working screwdriver now :-) Yaay !

So find what is changing the data on the map, because it isn't TARDIS.

Posted Jan 14, 2014I cant craft the remote, because, in the recipe, it requires the map you get from crafting, but as soon as you put it in your inv, the data on it changes, so it wont work.

What does this mean? Now the recipe with the obsidian and then the osc doesn't pop up? What recipe are you referring to?
@kmanxx
The advanced console is currently not recognising a player's key preference if it is different than what is configured for the key recipe. You should be able to use the sonic though...
For now, try giving your self a TARDIS key -
/tardisgive key [your player name] 1and clicking the console with that.-

Posted Jan 14, 2014I know this may sound dumb, but how do you access the advanced console? I know it is the jukebox, but whenever I click on it with my sonic screwdriver or my hand, it wont open, but the storage opens.

Posted Jan 14, 2014Fixed the sound issue. Rebooting the server a few times helped for some weird reason. Now the recipe with the obsidian and then the osc doesn't pop up? I also cannot combine any of the screwdrivers with the "map" files. The scanner etc. I can create the bio scanner circuits but i can't seem to combine em with the screwdriver.. All permissions etc are set ok and i am OP.

If you going to attempt using a TARDIS beta version, you will NEED to read the relevant documentation - a good place to start is here: http://eccentricdevotion.github.io/TARDIS/change-log.html (or right here) - it contains lots of links to the new features

TARDIS 2.7 is still awaiting Bukkit approval, you'll need to be patient...
CraftBukkit 1.7.2 is available here: http://dl.bukkit.org/ as you would expect
