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

Fixed, though with the
tardisrecipecommand you can only view a list of items from the console@Squawkers13
Line 60 is getting a list of players in the TARDIS_Zero_Room world, you most probably don't have one... Added a check to see whether the world has been created yet
Both issues should be resolved in build #633

Values in condensables.yml can be zero, setting them to zero is the same as adding them to blocks.yml, however blocks.yml will override both the default and condensables.yml.

Posted Feb 18, 2014Regarding the customizable condensables file, will putting a 0 value in for a block allow the block to be condensed for growing rooms but not produce artron energy, or will that prevent the block from being condensed entirely?
And a followup: If the values in that file do have to be greater than 0 to be condensed, will the the no_artron_value section of blocks.yml override those values even if use_default_condensables is false?

Some custom blocks/items/GUIs for the TARDIS Console/roundels/sonic/dest terminal would be nice, and some actual weepers/cybers/daleks as well...

The TARDIS class file in the jar checks to make sure you're running Craftbukkit 1.7 or higher, and in this way disables itself on mcpc+. You can edit this file in Eclipse (or whatever IDE tickles your fancy) to skip that check, and it runs just fine. That's the beauty of this plugin being open source :)
If you need help, or aren't really much a coder (even though it's literally one copy and paste), shoot me a PM.

Posted Feb 17, 2014Is there some way of making this work with MCPC+? When I try, it shows a error saying that it needs CraftBukkit and disables itself... and I really want to combine this with mods so I can decorate more my TARDIS :(

Not at all, imo there is nothing on the TODO list that inspires me to code all night long... they're all rather hum drum, don't present much of a challenge, teach me anything new, or add anything essential to the plugin.
I need some "wow that's cool" factor, not just tweaking existing features that work well enough as it is.
