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

/tardisadmin [config option] [value]command in game or on the console - you can pretty much set everything that way and the changes take effect immediately./tardisadmin reloadcommand if you manually change the config file, but step 1 is much easier...-

I have noticed after a while of it running Tardis starts to create some tick lag even with less than 10 on. I ran a nolagg examine and found the event that MAY be the cause. So I thought I would report it. I am still on 1.9.3 and am upgrading tonight however thought I would go ahead and report it.
Plugin: TARDIS
Average duration: 1.022 ms/tick
Total duration: 511.231 ms/500 ticks
class me.eccentric_nz.plugins.TARDIS.TARDISBlockProtectListener
Compared to the next longest running event.
Plugin: TARDIS
Average duration: 0.29 ms/tick
Total duration: 145.077 ms/500 ticks

It's best to stop the server, upload, then restart to get configs to stick that do not have internal reloads. Many plugins save their configs while they are reloading or shutting down especially plugins like this that have commands that allow you to change certain config options.

Posted Jan 21, 2013I'm trying to change the config and it just reverts once I /reload on the server for the changes to take place. Yes I AM saving it. Should I not /reload? I've even tried saving the config onto my desktop and re-uploading it, but nothing changes.

Posted Jan 21, 2013So I got the plugin working, but whenever I create a tardis, the interior doesn't copy the air that goes with it. So I have a tardis full of rock. Also when the tardis teleports or I use /tardis comehere, it leaves behind another tardis, which I can enter mine with still. Using version 1.9.4

Yea, the energy was 0 because I literally had just made the tardis right before it happened. Check your shared files in google drive and there should be a zip of my tardis world as well

Jettison rooms, transfer player artron energy (though you probably don't have much yet), change the
full_recharge_itemin the config file to something other than a NETHER_STAR and click the energy capacitor button with it (beta-2), or wait for beta-3-

Posted Jan 21, 2013How do you get more power (Arthron Energy) on Tekkit without a beacon? I keep getting stuck at 1%.

The only thing I can see that is out of order, is that the TARDIS Artron Energy Capacitor has never been initialised (by clicking the wooden button on the console with the TARDIS key). Could be a place to start checking my code though...
Back to work for now :)

I get the feeling it is a database issue, it doesn't seem to want to retrieve the stored values properly. Next time it errors can you save the TARDIS.db file and post it somewhere so I can have a look at it?

Thanks, I'm going to redownload the plugin before you make a debug version. Maybe I got a corrupt download. Any chance you could provide a hash, i can compare against?

Yea, it seems really weird. I will see if I can reproduce it one more time. Also, is there a permission associated with the rooms, because when my users input the proper command they get no reply to place the block start the room building or a permissions denied throwback

That sounds really weird, I disconnect and stop/start the server, multiple times when testing the plugin - while I'm in the TARDIS - and have never been dislocated by 200 blocks. The only problem I've had (which might be related) was when flying outside the TARDIS to watch room growing, and hitting the WorldBorder and being automatically pushed back from the edge. Instead of pushing back inside the border it threw me about 600 blocks away and I got stuck in an endless loop. However, when I TPed myself to another world, and then found my way back to the Police Box, I didn't have any problem getting back inside the TARDIS.
If you've watched the Recharging video, you will probably see why your recharging wasn't working, as it won't recharge if you do a /tardis comehere to the recharge area. You need to time travel there and then exit the TARDIS...
The long and short of it is that I still haven't been able to reproduce those errors you were getting, so I'll get a debug version prepped...
