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

As @dandubois89 says, do you have a multi-world plugin installed? Such as Multiverse or MultiWorld.

It's called Bromley Massive Vector, but you won't find it for download anywhere as I have never released it. All the textures and items are up to date with the 1.5-SNAPSHOTs, but I haven't finished doing all the mob skins yet...

sounds like it may be the same issue I was having from not having MV installed, or the worlds not imported

By restart do you mean using the reload command, or stopping and starting
I stop and start my test server every ten minutes or so when coding/testing this plugin and have never come across this issue...

Nice catch, have fixed it for the next beta... I had changed the name in one part of the code to world-repeater, but obviously never got around to doing it elsewhere.
You're probably right about the gold nugget for the key, but I like to run around with a sonic screwdriver 'cause it's cooler, so I'll stick with my stick (bad pun intended)

The TARDISChunkGenerator plugin is on the Files page... eventually this will be bundled with the TARDIS plugin when a stable v2.0 release is ready

There is only one new console button, a wood button by default, which is for the artron energy capacitor. To move any of the buttons use the
/tardis update [the_TARDIS_name_of_the_block]- see the commands page - the wood button is just called 'artron' - so the command would be/tardis update artron-

@badsanta211
There are video tutorials in the comments for version 2.0 (which is still in beta, that's why there isn't any documentation for it yet) Start with this one, then have a look at this one, and finally this one
Should be uploading a new beta this weekend, which will include a (very simple) equivalent exchange type energy condenser to convert raw materials (dirt, cobble, sand, gravel) into artron energy as well

TARDIS will automatically find and load the worlds on your server at startup, conversely if it can't find a world that is in the config on the server, then it removes it from the config...
Are you running a multi-world plugin such as Multiverse? If not you will need to as Bukkit will only load the world specified in the server.properties file (and the _nether, _the_end worlds with the same name)

Posted Jan 25, 2013Hey there, I'm a big fan of this plugin, but I have a few questions. One, how does your Artron Energy work? More documentation would be excellent. Secondly, where do I get this plugin that allows the TARDIS to make its own world/grow rooms? Thanks!

Posted Jan 25, 2013Hi, I've been having a problem with TARDIS removing a world every time I save it to the config. How do you save a world?
13:38:01 [INFO] [TARDIS] Removed 'world_haven from config.yml
The world is in the bukkit folder and I even tried moving the uid file to it to try and see if that works, which it does not. How can I fix it to go to other worlds?
