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

For sure not the achievements, and usually not the books. Usually those who wind up on my server are experienced with the TARDIS plugin already, and that is what drew them to it. However the occasional noobie who doesn't understand the TARDIS may find them useful. Maybe have them registered in a /tardisgive? That way server owners can give players permission to run /tardisgive book in case they don't understand the basics of the plugin.

Nobody actively pursues them on my server and I never bothered to customize the achievements.
It strikes me as something that would be used if it became a part of something larger, but is such a small thing right now that is so separated from the rest of the plugin. For example, if there were quests involved, where server admins would set up destinations on various worlds or something to that effect, then the achievements would really feel like they were an integral part of something.

Posted May 17, 2014Ok i looked at worldguard, Multiverse, and the Config files, but I cannot figure out what the disconnect is with the rail. I know it did the same thing before when I put the ticket in, and someone suggested something, and that is what fixed it. however I cannot fid the Ticket anymore :-/

LOL thats funny, OK I will keep tinkering with it
@WonkoTheSane1
I am sure its because of how my TARDIS came to be. Remember when I was asking about the lights radius, and eccentricz said that the only way to fix it was to move everything down. Well what I did was put the redstone schematic into a regular single player world. Fix it the way I wanted, make a new schematic out of it, upload it to a test server, let TARDIS plugin build it, copy the world folder and upload it to the Online server.
Whats funny is the first time i logged onto the online server, the whole thing was full of zombies, weeping angels, cybermen, spiders, and witches....
So I am thinking that through all of that something went haywire lol

We really need a lot more information to even begin to speculate what might be going on. Start by running one of the official releases instead of a development build. You should really only be running the Jenkins builds if you're interested in helping the development of the plugin and have debugging experience.
If it's still happening with a new TARDIS on an official release, then please make a detailed ticket following the instructions eccentricnz just linked to. Be sure to tell us every step you took leading up to when you experienced the problem. If you think you've found a bug, then be sure to provide exact steps for us to reproduce the issue. If we can't reproduce the issue, then we can't fix the problem.
