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 May 3, 2014Ok I just realized that someone stole the safety platform from my TARDIS and they made it where the door to the tardis must only be opened with a sonic using the shift button... I just fell out of the TARDIS while trying to shut the door, into a pile of cybermen

Posted May 3, 2014I know its not released yet, but I was intrigued about the new project in the works.
So I downloaded MCPatcher, I ensured I had the latest jenkins that had the new prefs window, and downloaded the MCP.zip file
I attempted to mcpatcher the MCP.zip from the ticket and it keeps giving the warning
"This is not a mod, it looks like a resource pack"
I clicked to install anyway. After install I patched it, and tried it out. No workie
I made sure the only thing that was patched was the zip. No jive. I tried to hand install the zip. Still no jive.
Not sure if I am doing something wrong.
If you could find it in your block-heart to possibly give me some kind of further instruction on where i went wrong, I would greatly appreciate it.

Actually you may be experiencing the bug we recently fixed if you haven't updated to a newer Jenkins build. Make sure you're using at least TARDIS build #775; that's where we found and fixed the problem.

thanks. got it working when multi-world was installed, but now I cant shift-click the door, and also the TARDIS wont spawn in its own world... EDIT: can you change location with the door open, and if so please make it so it ALWAYS malfunctions when the door is open and the TARDIS throws you around and really close to the door, and going out of he door with the handbrake off sends you 10000 blocks downwards so you instantly die. and please make it so that the TARDIS cant be a spawn point!

Sounds like you have some more plugin conflicts going on... we've recently done extensive testing with horse farming and it should be working really well. Check your spawn settings for Multiverse-Core and WorldGuard or try setting a temporary test server and installing plugins one by one until you find the culprit.

Posted May 2, 2014Ok here is a odd situation. As you know I recently had a issue with the rail room that the great eccentricnz and Wonkothesane1 assisted me in correcting. Well now that the rail issue was fixed, I tried to farm me some critters. So i go abd lead me a horse, take him to the TARDIS, click the door and the horse dissappears as it was supposed to. However when I check the stable, there is no horse. So i try again and this time I try a black horse. It dissappears as well. So I go to check the stable and a totally different horse is in there.
I decided to tame the horse and ride it out. I ride it across the wooden pressure plate and the horse disappeared, but I was still in the stable. Of course I was surprised, so I run outside and the horse is gone.
Now I don't really know what to expect when farming animals. I had a interesting experience with farming a pig as well.
So I ask, is this ticket worthy?

All versions from 2.8 onwards are for 1.7.9, unfortunately Bukkit doesn't give me the option to mark the files as such.
The Sonic GUI is not complete yet, we're still working on the textures, and of course it doesn't work at all unless you have MCPatcher for 1.7.9 and the TARDIS_MCP Resource Pack.

If you click the "Files" tab up top you can download any of the recent versions. It looks like 2.8 Beta 3 is the most recent version that was made for 1.6.4.
