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

You can rename it if you want to, it doesn't really matter, as long as there is only one TARDIS.jar in the plugins folder

What do you mean by default?
Companions can't access other player's advanced consoles or disk storage, as this would get way too complicated very quickly.

Posted Jan 22, 2014Is the Materialization Circuit always going to be in the adv. console by default? And can companions modify it if isometric is off? (And not if its on?) EDIT: There also seems to be no such thing as a Scanner Circuit... EDIT2: Actually, it's just not in /tgive, as well as the memory circuit...

EDIT: yes I did, RIGHT-click air with a clock in hand to reset your temporal location back to normal server time
Temporal location is permission based if you don't want players using it, don't give them the perm

Bonjour Vernillet :)
This is a known bug, you need to update the plugin to TARDIS v2.7-beta-3 build #561 or higher. This is currently only available on the TARDIS Jenkins server, the link to which can be found above.

If you get the TARDIS book, and the remote says you don't have a TARDIS, then there is no database record for your TARDIS anymore. What you have sitting in front of you is most probably an empty shell. If you can break the wall blocks, you will know for sure. I suggest you contact the server admin.

Posted Jan 20, 2014So I made a TARDIS not long ago on the server posted here a few weeks ago, xdivinelust, and since they updated, I cannot use my tardis.... I logged in, and it gave me a book, and it told me to find the resouces bla bla bla, like i did a month ago. Now, my TARDIS is sitting in front of me. I just spent an hour figuring out how to use the remote now that the /comehere doesnt work, and its still not letting me in. Ive tried the gold nugget. When i try to use the remote,It says I dont have a TARDIS, but mine is sitting RIGHT in front of me... I really do not want to make an new one, I really love my old one..IS thre a bug fix? Ive had mine for a while. Also, when i try to delete the sign, it still says "Type /exterminate to delete, etc."

The delete error you are getting is most likely caused by the TARDIS world not existing on the server anymore. You can purge the database records for the player with the
/tardisadmin purge [player]command.-

For the map files, read the second line of the message...
For the storage error, you need to update to TARDIS v2.7-beta-3 build #561 or higher, then use the
/TARDIS update advancedcommand
