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 22, 2014"3. Localisation - this one is a HUGE job" Does this mean that the plugin will support translations?
In that case, I would like to help with the spanish translation. You can send me all the strings in the plugin and I will translate them :)

If you changed the scanner to a map, how would you show the other information that currently gets displayed? You wouldn't know what biome it was, what the weather was, if there were any mobs outside etc etc seems like a bad trade to me. The scanner also will tell you about your next destination, not just the current one.

Posted May 21, 2014Had an idea, what if you changed the scanner to a map in an item frame that showed the current location, you could even have it show the time vortex when its traveling.

i don't use citizens, but i agree with you. the TARDIS Plugin is very well managed (even with the hours that people are on!)

Posted May 20, 2014Just felt like thanking @eccentricnz for being such a responsive developer. I'm having the most dreadful time trying to configure Citizens for the first time. It's buggy, poorly documented (as in, hardly at all), and their tickets link goes to an expired domain so I don't even know how to get help.
I'm so glad I don't have to deal with that nonsense for the TARDIS plugin :)

Yes, there is a command you can use first before attempting manual editing though:
/tardisadmin purge [player]- as always backup first!-

I have a new crazy question,
If I have a user that had their TARDIS deleted but the plug-in still says that they have one (prevents a new TARDIS creation). Is it possible that I can edit the db and remove entries with the players info?

Posted May 20, 2014NEW IDEA (involving the "Walk in and out of the TARDIS" Feature): a command (/tardisprefs perhaps?) that allows for the key to lock the door (deadlock, or something else) and then use your hands for everything else (like in the snowmen, where the Doctor had the TARDIS Doors unlocked and just pushed them open) or have it default. my idea is basically something like
"/tardisadmin push true" , then "/tardisprefs push on"
so, what do you think? would it work?

Posted May 19, 2014Hi, I'm a new admin on one of my favorite servers. There is a bug with the tardis that if you are a companion, sometimes you can open the saved destinations menu and pull out the blocks that are there. This is absolutely ruining the economy of the server.

No, you'd be guessing wrong... You need to update the hinge location of the door (new TARDISes will be fine) - target the top half of the door and use the command
/tardis update hinge- the texture will correct itself and the door will open the right way (as it does on TV)I feel a new FAQ coming on...

Posted May 19, 2014Would I be right in guessing that the top of the inside door had not been updated with the new texture pack?
