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

2.9 is not the most recent version, the error you pasted says you are running build #900, we are currently at build #978...

Okay, so is there any way to get rid of these Non-existant rooms in the mean time? I kind of need the exact spots they're occupying.
Here is the error by the way: http://dev.bukkit.org/paste/10436/

Which is why I provided a link...
@TempusVulpi
That shouldn't be there at all, and it won't be in the final v3.0 release

I didn't add any custom console to the plugin myself, i found it at the end of my ARS Circuit list of Rooms, Represented by a dragon egg, I haven't added anything to the plugin myself.

There is no way for me to trouble shoot custom consoles, I'm afraid you're on your own there... but generally you don't grow custom consoles with ARS, just rooms added with the
/tardisroomcommand - the custom console is grown using a seed block.@trickyrockslayer
Yes, but it is not open to the public

Posted Aug 5, 2014My Problem randomly disappeared after a few server restarts, although now i have another, i attempted to grow a "Custom Console" using the ARS circuit, the message "Architectural Reconfiguration" appeared in chat but then nothing, Right now if i look at my ARS circuit it shows this console room as being there but there's nothing there at all, if i try to jettison this "Room" it simply says "No Slot Selected", I've tried restarting my server, reloading, nothing works?

Please make a ticket and follow the instructions above to put the error in a paste. Make sure to describe, in as much detail as possible, the steps that were taken prior to the error so we can try to reproduce it.

Posted Aug 5, 2014I have a pretty good idea. It's a new idea referencing the /tardis upate command. It's like an abort lever, it cancels the teleportation when teleporting in your tardis and you can only activate while dematerializing.

Not exactly true..I said I wouldn't report a problem that I didn't believe existed. I also told you that I have checked the permissions (and again tonight when you just quit suddenly). As I said earlier, no one has else has reported any problems and there are currently 182 Tardis's on the server. If you are having a problem with the plugin, read the instructions, talk to the other players to narrow down what your problem is. I'm not the best one to ask as I dont have the time to use the Tardis very much as I have a lot of other plugins to keep up with, while monitoring player activities to remove any thieves and griefers so your time on the server is more enjoyable. I also like to play with what time I have left.

Posted Aug 5, 2014Hi eccentricnz, I play on thatsnotacreeper.com and enjoy it. Lately I have had a problem it, and markdf told me to tell you here. (he wasn't prepared to help. (no time)) The permissions seem to be mucked up as I cannot build rooms anymore. I know that this is not really the place to be asking this and I'm sorry but as the admin wont help and told me to ask you here. I haven't much choice but to do as the admin says. So can you please check the permissions for me. I am a level 1 builder. Thanks for your time and for building a great plugin.
