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
Official documentation & FAQs

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 use spigot and tardis, zero issues. No need for any changes. Installs just like bukkit

Posted Jul 2, 2014Just wondering, does TARDIS work nicely with Spigot or is there something that needs to be modified?

Posted Jul 2, 2014Wanted to show you this. It's not a big deal really, but it does look funny. I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed yet. It's against water so if it's not immediately obvious I'm talking about the part hanging off the land. Odd thing though, it didn't do this yesterday (I updated TARDIS today) but then again it was from a summoned tardis and this one was from a random trip.

The link above goes directly to the page with the latest JAR file download, you'll also need to update the resource pack
@bootthanoo
So you?:
and the walk in feature stopped working? It shouldn't have any effect at all...

Here is a picture
It seemed to happen after I did this. I am not sure if it was caused because I updated to the Advanced Console, or they just so happened around the same time.

Not quite sure what you mean by an Advanced TARDIS, exactly what change did you make?

Posted Jul 1, 2014I've been enjoying the new walk-into-TARDIS feature, but after I changed my TARDIS into an Advanced TARDIS, I have been unable to walk into it. Is there any way to remedy this?

I think you have taken what markdf has said completely the wrong way... he is knocking players who like to take the easy way out and NOT spend the time to enjoy the game for what it is.
He (and I for that matter) take issue with people coming to this plugin page and telling us that the TARDIS plugin is a waste of time and that we should just dump it for a simple warp plugin!

Posted Jun 30, 2014@TheMinecraftToolbox and what's with all this tedius mining crap, dig dig dig for hours to find a few diamonds and ff your lucky you might find a single emerald. Just go to creative and avoid the random searching for ores and avoid the mobs that try to kill you. I mean what were Mojang thinking, they could have saved them selves a lot of work if they didn't bother with survival mode.
Now go back to whatever hole you crawled out of.
