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

Posted Dec 4, 2014Vortex Manipulator questions:
I can't seem to load a saved location. I click the saved location I want, click "Enter Vortex" and nothing happens. Am I using it wrong?
I hope Spigot 1.8.1 doesn't take as long as 1.8 did. :P Seemed like forever.

Turns out to be a Vanilla Minecraft bug: https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-59360, looks like we need to wait for Spigot 1.8.1

Seems to be a CraftBukkit bug - if you place a lever onto a half block slab or stair block, and then try to toggle the lever, it will pop off...
EDIT: The handbrake once replaced, seems to work OK as TARDIS cancels the click event for that control anyway
EDIT: bug report filed - https://hub.spigotmc.org/jira/browse/SPIGOT-119

Posted Dec 4, 2014Okay I'm getting ZERO server errors but I keep having an issue where (even on growing rooms) all switches pop off. That is, all levers that are attached to anything just pop off. On top of that, all redstone torches never activate. I have had to manually go about fixing them. This is on a custom console and I haven't tested on a regular one, but I will and let you know how it turns out.
EDIT: some switches pop off or don't appear at all. the middle ones on top seem to come on, the ones near the doors work, but the ones surrounding the top middle one don't have any. None of the rooms have redstone torches by default. they pop off (i've found one or two, most fall into the abyss).
EDIT2: even on regular consoles, the console room and other rooms lack some levers and restone torches. they all seem to pop off after being built.

Plugin is not set up correctly for own/shared world or TARDISChunkGenerator is missing

Yeah, it's the console as was originally in "bigger", just modified to be roundels etc. There weren't any issues prior, and it's the schematics I finalized (never reuploaded them). I guess I should at least try to load them and see what the deal is.

glad you've got it sorted :)
TARDIS' are always built in a positive x and z direction, so make sure that the block the lever/button/sign is attached to is placed first so they have something to hang on to

I don't know what happened, but I am not getting the errors anymore. However, I'll have to check my custom consoles because the handbrake keeps coming off in creation process. And when I try /tardis update handbrake, it tells me "the handbrake is already off" or whatever, and won't let me actually click the handbrake. This isn't an issue because it doesn't even think the handbrake ever left, and is still usable if you just replace it in general.
Artron Condenser is working properly now, and I'm just having fun again. How boring, I need more bugs. :P j/k I'm not sure what the issue was originally, but it doesn't seem to happen anymore.

Okay I got it where I can create the tardis. Now, however, regardless of it being custom or built in, I cannot click the random button, and the condenser chest always defaults to a regular chest. I get spammed with errors. Sometimes the handbrake is popped off and in icon format on the ground.

Post/link to custom_consoles.yml
Does it happen with all consoles, or just a custom one?
What is the actual seed block material?

Using your plugin folder, this is the error I get. I think it's the same I get otherwise.
