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

1) I've seen that problem too. Lamp_off in recipe must equal lamp_on on TARDIS, eccentric! 2) Re-read the docs.

Posted Jan 15, 2014Every time I create a new tardis, I try to put the M-circuit into the advanced console and when I do it says, The Materialisation Circuit is missing from the console! No destination will be set. And it wont let me use the hand break even though it lets me set a destination, and too make sure, I have tried with 6 different tardis's, powering them on first with the wooden button, and still none of them work.

Make sure you're using a regular Minecraft workbench - it won't work in the player inventory crafting area or on a modded crafting bench

Thank you that did the trick, now if I could just figure out why I can't add circuits to the sonic I'd be in business.

Sounds like you need to update the plugin, circuit names were added 11 days ago: https://github.com/eccentricdevotion/TARDIS/commit/d46b640af3400fa2b7d36347b5b385ded28ce225

Permissions are required to upgrade it. It does nothing but buzz without upgrades.

Also could you add a permission node for use of the sonic screwdriver. (So that it will give the user a permission error if they are not high enough rank)?

Posted Jan 15, 2014On my server none of the circuits show their proper names in the crafting menu. (They still show the right design on them when crafted, and still work in the recipes, they just don't show which circuit is which, and that's a bit confusing to players)
Edit: It just shows the map numbers, instead of the circuit names.

Posted Jan 15, 2014Just reporting a couple bugs for 2.7-beta-2, I seem to be having a problem with adding circuits to the sonic screwdriver, I've checked all the permissions and they're all where they need to be. As well as the .dat files. Also the ARS won't let me make rooms, it is saying it's missing from the console even after removing and resetting it with the tardis update command.
