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

Here's my plugins folder: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/53758864/plugins.zip
You can get my Spigot 1.8 JAR from the Index File
TARDISChunkGenerator should not need updating, however, TARDISHorseSpeed is now obsolete and should be replaced with TARDISHelper (it's included in my plugins above)

Unable to see graphics like a tardis key. Cannot use tardis key on seed block. After crafting seed block, all items used to craft drop along with seed block. What on earth am I doing wrong?
Was there a new horsespeed and chunkgenerator that I missed? I'm not sure where this error occurs because I'm too tired to look it up lol.
EDIT: re-ran mcpatcher and it worked. But I still cannot use the key on the seed block. Making a new seed and trying again.
EDIT2: seed blocks still not working. Pastebin: http://pastebin.com/dM5qN9nn
Seems like a worldguard issue, though I have the latest installed. And that may not be accurate, as the error in the pastebin isn't the one I had beforehand. I'm using Spigot, should I be using CraftBukkit instead?
EDIT3: sheesh... I got latest builds from your jenkins of ChunkGenerator and still nothing. I'm at a loss, thank God I have the next few days off to work on this.

Posted Nov 30, 2014@eccentricnz When I get a chance I'll get my test server running with an exact copy of creeper and have a play. Odd that the chests were empty from the two of us that were online, other players chests I looked at seemed ok.

Tried my old test server, got a ton of these:
But chest inventories are all intact. I did make sure I was using a compatible WorldGuard and disabled LibsDisguises and TARDISWeepingAngels, but all other plugins were the ones I was running from 1.7.10

Sure, but if you don't know where to find it, then you probably shouldn't be running it...

I started with a fresh server, so I got a shiny new world with all the new blocks generating nicely :) I'll crank up the old test server today and see what happens...
So far it seems pretty stable, though there is the usual wait for plugins to update.

Posted Nov 30, 2014I tried craftbukkit 1.8 last night and it deleted items in chests from the two of us that were online. I had to roll back to the previous day backup. I need to do run my test server first before I try that again.

The genetic manipulator won't work, but everything else should be fine.

WorldGuard should show in green with /plugins right? Because it isn't... So lost. lol, and /wg doesn't work at all, so I don't know what to do but wait.
EDIT: Got WorldGuard working, for some reason I think I copied the new one into the old 1.7.10 test server and not the 1.8 server. However I still have a Q for ya: TARDIS will still work fine even without LibsDisguises?

Thanks for all the info bud.
Is that a working ProtocolLib you linked to there?

I'm using WorldEdit v6.0-SNAPSHOT;3337-45856236 gives a warning, but seems to work OK. http://build.sk89q.com seems to be down though... I can put my version in Dropbox if you want.
LibsDisguises needs a working version of ProtocolLib. There isn't one yet, so no ProtocolLib, no LibsDisguises. I have uninstalled them from my test server for now - give it some time :). I did have a go at updating ProtocolLib, but I'm afraid it was beyond my meagre skills :(

Hey mate, I am using Spigot 1.8, and was having issue with WorldGuard, but got a compatible version from Spigot site. But I have a few questions I can't seem to find answers for:
On my test server things were fine, but I can't seem to find a WorldEdit, as WE was erroring out when I went to 1.8. I'm running fresh now though and haven't tried it since, but is there a specific dev version I need of it instead, or should I just try again with the fresher server?
Next spasm: LibsDisguises and ProtocolLib both did not work, even the "1.8 compatible" version of Disguises didn't seem to function without errors. Is there a go-to place to find what we need for these basic things?

Cool. As soon as barriers are in, maybe start on the circuit?
