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

Howdy Eccentricnz,
I have a user report that when typing /tardistravel biome list , nothing comes up. I tried it myself and sure enough the list doesn't come up anymore.
Is there a seperate permission for /tardisgive other than the main admin permission?

Posted Jun 9, 2014Having quite a few bugs at once here:
1.Lazarus room says artron needs to be powered on for it to work, even though its in standby mode 2.Cant upgrade the sonic with the circuits (was able to make them all but the admin one). I cant craft them together, there is no output in the crafting table. As well as not being able to make the admin circuit but i have the permission node for it.
Another thing, how can i update the position of the lights for the console room? i made my custom one away from the original and then dont turn off because of it.
TARDIS Version 2.9 beta 2 b876 Bukkit Version 1.7.9-R0.2

Entry/exit depends on the preset, if it has a door and space to walk inside, open the door and walk in. If it doesn't have room to walk inside or has a trapdoor, SHIFT-RIGHT click the door with the TARDIS key.

This: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/tardis/#w-bugs-requests
Check the server log for errors... sounds like it tried to make a TARDIS, failed part way through, but did enough to make a database record.

Posted Jun 8, 2014Encountering an error where after I try to use a gold nugget on a newly placed TARDIS seed block, it says that I already have a TARDIS placed, when it's the first seed block I've place in the world. What's up with that?

I updated to 899 and it worked. but now the exterior is gone (as in a creeper blew up part of it and i went inside, went out and there was no exterior, the door is open so in the direct centre i get teleported in)

It's a player preference now. Right click with your sonic and there will be an option to turn that off.
