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 20, 2014Also, I had the same problem as wolfos, except when I deleted the storage table and schematics folder, the problem persisted. Whenever my server reloads/restarts, the plugin gives me the message: "Could not find TARDIS map files, some recipes will not work!" What do I need to do to fix the map files?

There is not enough room at the destination to fit the Police Box, or the location is over lava / water (and
land_on_wateris false)-

It's completley logical..... I specifically said the exact words "when I upgraded, it erased all TARDISes in the database," the exact words "WHEN I UPGRADED", after upgrading, the resulting behavior ensues. I will attach the server log.

Sounds like the plugin is not actually enabled...
How can it "erase all TARDISes in the database" AND this "and there is a record in the database" at the same time? That is not logical at all.
Please attach the server log to the ticket you made earlier.

Okay well, when I upgraded, it erased all TARDISes in the database, and now when a player puts down a seed, and hits it, nothing happens, but when they hit it again it says they already have a TARDIS(and there is a record in the database). But no TARDIS shows up. Even when using /tardis rebuild, nothing appears. Also the /tardisgive and /tardisrecipe commands do nothing but return context info, even when the context of the data is correct.

Server log showing memory usage after repeatedly entering and exiting the TARDIS
Build #562 contains a fix for a missing MySQL table field, which could have been the issue? Download available from the TARDIS Jenkins server.

That fixed everything as far as I can tell. Thank you, I really admire your work.
Oh and as a side note, I know that I have a ton of outdated plugins, the log was created before I cleaned out the folder. Thank you for your time.

What a mess! Come back and ask again when you have less errors in your log. It looks like half you plugins haven't been updated for 1.7.2. TARDIS doesn't even enable correctly, probably because your Factions plugin in not compatible - update Factions or disable Factions support in TARDIS.

Posted Jan 18, 2014Excuse me I'm having trouble creating a new Tardis after the 2.6 update. Here's a snippet of the log where I believe the error occurred. If you could help me out in anyway that would be great!
