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
Official documentation & FAQs

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

You need to have the door circuits as part of the schematic. An empty room with just floors and doors is provided in one of the schematics folders - called template.tschm - for just this reason.

Yes i did exit the TARDIS i tried exiting by walking out and Shift-Right clicking the door
EDIT: I feel really stupid right now... I rebooted the server and now the rift works. I don't know why I didn't try that earlier, but thanks for trying to help anyway!

Exit the TARDIS? That's when charging is initiated.

Posted Nov 1, 2014I have a fresh install of a bukkit server running the TARDIS plugin version 3.1-beta-1
me and a friend were trying to set up a recharger but it doesn't work. I made a beacon, ran the command "/tardisadmin recharger RIFT" to make a recharger called RIFT. then i landed my TARDIS 5 blocks away from the beacon, and nothings happened. i waited 5 mine craft days, my artron capacitor was on, my door was closed and it was locked, i did use a TARDIS area to go to the recharger. what am i doing wrong? please help, thanks

Posted Oct 30, 2014So I've been meaning to ask, what made you decide to write this plugin in the first place?

I plan to start something once Forge 1.8 is released, though it will be very simple to start with!

Not really used on hard, use save disks instead http://eccentricdevotion.github.io/TARDIS/advanced-console.html
or switch to easy mode and use the
/tardis save [save_name]command-

File is still awaiting approval, it is the same as the file linked above as Latest TARDIS Build (Mirror)
v3.1-beta is not compatible with WorldGuard 6, use v5.9. If that doesn't work, make a ticket with a complete server log from startup to trying to walk in.
EDIT Version 3.1 has been updated and now requires WorldGuard 6!

Is there a way to actually add more "book marks" to the list that only contains your home location?

Posted Oct 28, 2014Hello! Wonderful new features, by the way! I have two questions: In a comment, you mentioned that you uploaded v3.1 but I can only find the beta.
The other thing is, I'm using the latest build (downloaded maybe 6 hours ago), but I can't get the walk in feature to work. I can enter and leave the TARDIS ok with a shift click, but walking in never works. I only use plugins from your list, and as far as I know, they should all be the latest version.

A good place to start is here:
Index / Site map (linked from the home page...)
Where you would have found:
Save sign
and
Storage disks

Once my tardis is using a chameleon circuit with no door, how do I get back in?
I tried doing /tardis chameleon off but nothing happened.
Also I searched that page and could find noting on how to save?
