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

I was testing the doors & deadlocking earlier today and didn't experience any issues. The door correctly toggled back and forth between deadlocked and unlocked.
More info please. Which build are you using? What do you mean when you say "real deadlocking"? As always, please provide step by step instructions for us to reproduce the issue.

MCP doesn't do anything to the resource packs, it just installs a modded client version that can then utilize the special resource packs.
The mods tab is all you need to worry about. The "Connected Textures" and "Custom Item Textures" options are the only ones you need to check for the TARDIS MCP Resource Pack to work. You may uncheck everything else and hit Patch and it will create a new Profile for you to use to run the game.
And that's it :) Just make sure the TARDIS Resource Pack(s) are installed the same way you normally install a Minecraft resource pack and the included MCP textures will automatically be picked up.

Posted Jun 6, 2014I cannot get the MCP to work on Mac at all. Is there a specific download? There is no option to patch resource packs, only mods.

You no longer have to click the output slot to generate TARDIS seed blocks. But you don't say what version you are running... so it's hard to tell.
Reasons why it might not be working:

No you don't have to recreate your TARDIS, that is a bad bit of misinformation...
Reload WorldGuard
If you update to 2.9-beta-2 TARDIS takes care of denying spawns itself...

Posted Jun 3, 2014Can somebody please help? i looked in the FAQs and couldn't find this question. I keep trying to make a TARDIS and i cannot seem to do it. I've re downloaded the plugin and tried and older version and so on, but it just doesn't work. I am aware that i have to click on the crafting output thingy for the seed to appear, but it wont do anything. I'll put the setup im using in the crafting table at the bottom of this comment. Please help, i really want to show this to my friend. I've seen reviews and i was really excited to get this. (crafting table goes 1 top left, 2 middle top, 3 top right, 4 middle left, 5 middle, 6 middle right, 7 bottom left, 8 bottom middle, and 9 bottom right) CRAFTING TABLE 1,2,3, 4,5,6, 7,8,9, 1=redstone torch 2=air 3=air 4=Lapis block 5=redstone lamp 6=orange wool 7=diamond block 8=blue wool 9=light grey wool
