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 Feb 15, 2014You can try doing /tardis rebuild to make it appear (if you know where it blew up). If not, go into the server world files and delete your TARDIS world. Restart the server and make a new TARDIS. Next time, set a home in your TARDIS so you can find it. Glad I could help. :)

Thanks so much! I find this really helpful.
But I can't get over my tardis being blown up. Is there a way to get a new one?
Thanks so much.

This relates to the TARDIS advanced console. You have to craft circuits and then add them into your TARDIS' advanced console. To get an advanced console, put a jukebox in your TARDIS and type /tardis update advanced. Click the jukebox. From there you can add circuits into the jukebox. These circuits do everything from letting the TARDIS travel, to allowing it to save destinations, and they are even required for the use of the chameleon circuit.

IT WILL NOT LET ME SET DEFAULT_WORLD TO TRUE!
It resets every single time I attempt to change the config.

I would delete all current TARDISes first, then stop server, then edit config. TimeVortex world should be created when you start the server again.

Should I set create_worlds to false, then set default_world to true, then delete all current TARDISes, then make the TARDIS_TimeVortex world?

TARDISes are creating their own worlds at the moment.

Posted Feb 15, 2014I found the information on making the TARDIS_TimeVortex world. When I make a world called TARDIS_TimeVortex, does it set itself up? (Make an Empty world, Add plots, etc.)

Didn't even think about the search aspect. I'll make sure to file tickets in the future. Thanks for the fix!

It's always worth filing a ticket, as you can search the tickets, but not the comments... as such I have turned your comment into a ticket so that others may benefit
Should be fixed in built 625 and higher.

I just checked, I can confirm that you cant place a sign in any world, even as op.

Posted Feb 14, 2014I didn't think this was worth filing a ticket, because I suspect you may be aware, but signs cannot be placed in any world on the server since build 622. I'm sure it has something to do with ProtocolLib's sign packet listener, since 622 is the build where you updated to allow for editing the Keyboard without a sign in hand.
Hope you can fix the problem, and that you don't mind me not posting a full ticket! Thanks for being a great dev and being in such constant contact with your users, even though I pity the number of obvious questions you answer lol
