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

As of TARDIS v2.7 the default key is a GOLD_NUGGET, we need to update the docs!

You only click with a golden nugget if that is the server's default TARDIS key. By default, unless the relevant player preference or the server config has been changed to specify otherwise, the TARDIS key is a stick.

The wool under the door is needed so that the door doesn't pop off if the TARDIS lands somewhere that doesn't have a solid block under the door...
If you are referring to the platform outside the door -
/tardisprefs platform offOr if you prefer, you can change the block type in the config.

Posted Jan 29, 2014Is there a way to make my tardis always land on the ground and not on the little wool?

There is most probably an error in the server log. What is it?

Posted Jan 29, 2014Every time I try placing a TARDIS seed and right clicking it with the key (default stick, in my case), the TARDIS_WORLD_[username] is created, but the TARDIS doesn't materialize from the seed. I certainly have a big enough space (far more than 3x3x4), but I've also tried making the space exactly 3x3x4. I've tried reloading the server, restarting the server, deleting TARDIS_WORLD_[username] (with /mv delete, because I don't know how else to delete it without having the TARDIS itself even show up), breaking the TARDIS seed block and placing it again, and right clicking the seed block multiple times with the key. I am not trying to create the TARDIS in a WorldGuard protected area, and I am the owner of the server and, obviously, an op, so I'm pretty sure I should have all of the permissions. I am using TARDIS 2.6-beta-3, because I have a 1.6.4 server. If it's not working because the version I'm using is only in beta, then is there a version I can use that will work with my server? The plugins I have are: BlockDisguise, Essentials, EssentialsChat, EssentialsProtect, EssentialsSpawn, iDisguise_v2.2.3, Sponge Jump, ModifyWorld, MultiInv, Multiverse-Core-2.5, Multiverse-Portals-2.5, PermissionsEx, TARDIS, TARDISChunkGenerator, TARDISHorseSpeed, TuxTwoLib, WorldEdit, and WorldGuard. Please help.

It is
name_tardis, use the admin command to turn it on:/tardisadmin name_tardis true, no restart / reload required, but players will need to travel / rebuild once in their TARDIS-

Alright, thanks for the help, I seem to have it working now. One last thing I forgot to ask about in my pervious comment: How do you get the names of the TARDISs' owners to show up on the signs like they do on Castrovalva? Is it 'name_tardis' in the config? I turned that on and it doesn't seem to be doing anything...
