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

Sorry but there is no way I can support custom schematics - you could put anything in them in any place - you really need to test out your designs (on a TEST server) before implementing them onto your regular live server - pretty much common sense IMO.

TARDIS does nothing with permissions or OP levels, apart from handing them off to Bukkit's permissions API so it is almost certainly not TARDIS affecting your problem, most probably a misconfiguration with another plugin.
TARDIS also cannot affect anything involved with the minecraft client - e.g. your zooming problem - TARDIS can only affect things on the server, it is impossible for it to change the behaviour on your computer. This is most probably a mod issue, maybe something like Optifine.
Your other problem was not Multiverse-Nether-Portals, it was Multiverse-Inventories which was out of date - you really need to learn to read your own stack traces if you want to successfully run a server...
The Advanced Console must be opened with a named TARDIS item (key or sonic) - this is by design, and will never be changed.
Please use the appropriate dev.bukkit tools to report any issues - DO NOT post your bugs in the comments or PM team members with unformatted stack traces - MAKE A TICKET: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/tardis/#w-bugs-requests

Okay so I am set to Op level 4 and it's saying I don't have permissions for things.
EDIT: this only started happening after putting in tardis.

I ran Multiverse Nether Portals on my server alongside TARDIS and never had any issues. It sounds like you may have something misconfigured in your permissions plugin. That's the only thing I can think of that would deny you access to a command even though you're an op.
Edit: Or it may be related to the op-permission-level config option in server.properties.

I seem to recall sometimes experiencing an issue where the key needed to be named something specific to open the advanced console. It's one of the things I meant to test and create a ticket for before the whole Bukkit debacle happened.
Try /tardisgive [player] key to get a pre-named key straight from the plugin and see if that works. If not, make us a ticket with steps we can take to try to reproduce the issue.
The zooming thing is very odd and sounds like you may have some other plugin conflict going on?

Okay well never mind because I already got them to go away I think it had something to do with perms being set to true when I already had perms on, but now I am having another issue where it says that you must use a key or be in your tardis to use the advanced console, but we are using the key and in the tardis.
EDIT: Also now for some reason right clicking won't let us do things anymore and it zooms us in.

Got it. Unfortunately, I'm not so great at reading those without a bit more context. Please put all that into a paste (http://dev.bukkit.org/paste/) so it formats properly and then create a ticket following the instructions above. Give us as much detail as you can about what was going on at the time of the errors and eccentricnz will have a looksie when the sun comes up where he is.

For help with configuring PermissionsBukkit, your best bet is to head over to its documentation: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/permbukkit/pages/configuration/
Once you have it set up according to those instructions, if you're still having trouble with specific TARDIS permissions, then we can help further.
