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

Telling is one thing - actually happening is another, plus it is not just size issues, you have the door circuits and position, the console controls etc etc

You could check that they are a supported size...
(And tell admins to make them that size!)

Posted Feb 3, 2014Custom rooms will be added to ARS in v2.8 if they are 16 x 16 x16. I can't really see an easy way to make custom consoles ARS compatible as I have no control over their design.

I don't have a server shop, but I see how that works.
Will keep at 100%.

It means you dont get free blocks, eg only having to provide less than 100% of the blocks required to grow a room will always be open to abuse from some people. Grow a room for less that what it actually costs and players start harvesting rooms for free blocks.

Growing a TARDIS room basically gives you blocks for free. So grow a room, harvest all the wall blocks and sell them to the server shop... go back and grow another room, harvest the blocks... it's not very good if you have an economy running on the server.
If rooms_condenser_percent is set to 100% then there is no point in harvesting the room blocks to sell, as you would have had to collect and condense all those blocks anyway.

Abuse? What do you mean by that?
(Also, what server do you play on??)

The server I play on is set to 100% to prevent abuse from harvesting the room blocks. It kind of depends on how strict you are with your server economy.

Posted Feb 3, 2014Just curious, what is the best value for rooms_condenser_percent on a survival server with rooms_require_blocks turned on? (Without any way to spawn in items)

The server admin sonic upgrade will override the door opening feature, craft a sonic without it.

Posted Feb 2, 2014Has anyone noticed anything wrong when using the newest dev builds? For some reason the server keeps crashing when creating a tardis or doing /tardis rebuild etc. Is it a known issue or do i have to create a ticket with the log info etc?

Requires Citizens 2 plugin installed. And stop the server before manually editing the config file... or use the
/tardisadmincommand before reloading
