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

If yours is the only TARDIS just delete the TARDIS database file and start over. If not use the
/tardisadmin enter [player]command to go inside the your TARDIS.-

Posted Dec 29, 2014I have the plugin, but people who are not op on my server aren't able to enter their TARDIS. The console says "Region flag entry for 'tardis_[username]' has been set to 'deny.'" I tried changing the flag using the WorldGuard command, but it still doesn't work (I am using the TARDIS_TimeVortex world). Is there any way to fix this?
Also, another thing, whenever I'm in the TimeVortex world and I try to update a block or grow a room, it says "You must be in a TARDIS world to update this block!" and "You cannot grow rooms unless your TARDIS was created in its own world!" Is there a permanent solution to this too?

Posted Dec 29, 2014Is there any rhyme or reason to where tardis's are generated? Because if there is, could you please tell me the coordinates that the first tardis in the world would spawn into? Because I kinda got my exterior blown up before I could turn on the artron condenser and the remote move and rebuild commands build the tardis minus the sign and door, and the admin delete command gives me a critical error.

It should be, but I haven't noticed any monsters appearing lately... possibly because of WorldGuard update, will do some testing soonish
Config option is:
preferences.walk_in_tardis: true-

No, manually growing a room will not show up in ARS and the room will potentially be overwritten if you use ARS later and forget where you put it...

So what? The file on here is the same as the newest one on the Jenkins, plus there is a link to a mirrored file on this page.

Yes, you can have Spigot 1.8 installed, and it can still be the wrong version - if you are getting
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.bukkit.World.getWorldBorder()Lorg/bukkit/WorldBorder;errors then you need to update...Install v3.2.2 - it will disable itself and tell you in the log if your version of Spigot is not up-to-date.
Then if it is updated, and you still get an error, make a ticket.

Posted Dec 21, 2014Must be a bug fixin' day...
TARDIS v3.2.2 has been uploaded and is awaiting Bukkit approval. Change log here: http://eccentricdevotion.github.io/TARDIS/change-log.html
/tardisadmin remove_flagcommand to remove the mob-spawning flag in old TARDIS WorldGuard regions (newer ones won't have the flag set) - once the command is run, this should fix the Farm, Village and Stable rooms not transferring mobs-
