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

Thanks for the direction again lol. I did a facepalm when I saw the page because I was just on that page a few days ago lol. I will try to stop breaking stuff so you won't have to answer any of my silly questions.

Posted Jul 31, 2014I had a weird thing happen. I decided to test out a new permissions plugin (GroupManager) and I set it up with a few ranks and gave the ranks appropriate privileges. One rank I made called Timelord with has all of the needed TARDIS plugin nodes in it. Everything worked fine and the players all seemed to enjoy the new ranks. However when one user who didn't have a TARDIS yet decided to make one, her rank was changed and a entirely new rank was made (first_group) . Of course This was very weird, but wanted to say something here since it occurred during the creation of a TARDIS. Have you heard of this happening before?

I just thought it would be cool to have an advanced travel room that would sift threw image files for the worlds. The destination console does not add new worlds its display. If the interer syns where holograms that would be cool to. Like a soft dependency. the plugin should be able to be enabled and disabled by the players in the preferences.

What do you mean by 'support' - the touchscreen one looks as though it will just work with any commands, including TARDIS ones...
I'll not be adding any features that you can easily achieve with another plugin.

Posted Jul 30, 2014TARDIS v3.0-beta-3 has been uploaded and is awaiting Bukkit approval (so much for v3.0-beta-2). This version re-enables LibsDisguises support (which I foolishly managed to break) and contains a few fixes for the new Chameleon Arch feature.
Change log here: http://eccentricdevotion.github.io/TARDIS/change-log.html

Check to make sure "/tardisprefs minecart" is off. If it's on, the minecart sounds still play instead of the resource pack sounds.
