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.

Posted Sep 10, 2014With Bukkit being, presumably, cancelled, what's the future of the TARDIS plugin?

Yep, looks like I'll be porting TARDIS over at some stage, unless Mojang magically come out with their API sooner...

Then I will make sure the console is dusted and the pool cleaned. :D
And possibly a few extra tweaks too.

I have already colored em red. So thats not a big deal.
When I first read the notes, i thought it said that they changed color during travel. lol
Anyway I may be getting close to the point of showing it off. If you are still interested

The maximum number of blocks you could colour is also limited to an item stack's worth (so 64) - looks like you might just sneak in there, but the beacon location is going to stuff it up - looks like WorldEdit for you :(

How far below is your beacon? I seem to remember you setting it quite low in your customised TARDIS... the code to search for the beacon doesn't search below y=64 as that is as far as it needs to if you are using a standard uncustomised console.

Posted Sep 9, 2014Hey!
So I just updated to 1007 and was trying out the colorizer. I made sure a clear glass (tried both glass pane and regular glass block) was over my beacon (that was beaming away) and typed /tardis colourise. I then right click with my green dye and it tells me that there isnt a beacon under this block.
I looked and couldn't find a way to let the TARDIS know where the beacon was, so here i am! So please let me know what i am doing wrong. I have a number of excited whovians awaiting the time rotor colors

Make sure you are condensing valid items and blocks - not everything can be condensed (especially if you have blocks listed in the
no_artron_valuesection of blocks.yml) - it may seem like the blocks disappear, but they are just returned to your inventory.Also saying you have the 'latest' version does not help... is it the latest version on Bukkit, the latest unapproved version on Bukkit, the latest version that says it is for 1.7.9, or the latest version on the Jenkins server? Use the
/tardis versioncommand... and read this: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/tardis/#w-bugs-requests-

I'm a french guy who like this plugin very much ! I'm on 1.7.9 with the last version of TARDIS plugin I got a problem : The artron condenser won't work :c When i put something inside , it write not a message like 'The molecule of the universe.....' But when i close the chest , items disapears and it says : 'there were no valid materials to condense !' I tried to update the chest , change the place of it ..... but nothing
Thank for your amazing plugin -Evandre-

IF the update comes out you mean. Bukkit is not in a very good state right now... but TARDIS will continue one way or another.

TARDIS is not yet compatible with 1.8, the command is just to colour the glass above the beacon, works fine in 1.7.10.
