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.

Here's a basic setup that I did. You'll have to play around with the corners if they aren't as sharp as a square.
Light Setup
I'm still working on getting the center console lights on top to also spin. So far its a pain. I wish red power was a bukkit plugin not just a mod.

Looking good :) What kind of wiring did you use on the lights to get them to spin? I have an eleventh console that I've tweaked to be fairly screen-accurate except for those lights. I tried adding them once before but it lagged something fierce and I had to get rid of them.

More and show and tell for ya.
I redid My entire TARDIS. I raised the console platform up about three blocks and also separated the doors to the external rooms with a wall. Kinda gives the impression that you leave the console room and turn down a hall to get to the adjacent rooms. I also raised the ceiling up a few more blocks too.
And yes i added lights that spin around the room (like the second half of Season 7) along with the glass floor.
New TARDIS design

I believe the server-level config option just sets the default key item. Beyond that, there's a player preference to change the default if desired: /tardisprefs key (material)

Posted May 10, 2014I seem to have a issue with setting the item as the key.
Before the new sonic menu and the new key textures, I had the server set up as the Blaze_Rod was the TARDIS key. Since the new additions to the plugin, I am trying to revert the key back to being the Gold_nugget.
I stopped the server, Opened the config file in the TARDIS plugin folder. Changed where the Key to Gold_Nugget. Saved the file and restarted the server. Tried to open the TARDIS door and it says that the key is a blaze_rod, not a golden nugget.
I stopped the server again, Removed the config file, restarted the server, let the plugin install the default config file, Tried to open the TARDIS door and it says that the key is a blaze_rod, not a golden nugget. Commence to swearing....
Am I missing something. Is there somewhere else besides the main config.yml that has the key preference?

Nice. You should upload it to the player schematics page.

You'll need to either add a WorldGuard region around your TARDIS, or create a new TARDIS, WorldGuard by itself won't do anything

The block specified in the seed block is written to the same database field as the
/tardis chameleon shortcommand, so it is the same thing. Turning on the chameleon circuit will still allow the TARDIS to adapt to its surroundings. The change is permanent (at least until you decide to change it again)-

I knew you could do it that way, I was asking about a permanent change. Say someone made their TARDIS blue, but later wanted it to be red but still be able to use the chameleon
