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

From what I can see, Fragnet lets you install any version of CraftBukkit you want, build the correct version and upload it using FTP

The problem is that I'm running on Fragnet, so I can't run every line I need to update the way that I've been instructed.

Is it a custom version of bukkit? or is the Spigot build of bukkit? If it's custom, it might not have the required code to load the plugin.

Posted Dec 31, 2014Why can't this be made to run properly on git-Bukkit-"1af2540"? That seems to be the only version I can install.

Ok I figured it out, in server properties (thanks for making me look there) max world size was set to 5000. so the tardiness inside 5000 were fine the ones outside were death traps you couldn't touch.

It's not TARDIS, I just removed the plugin, and I still can't interact with anything

Posted Dec 30, 2014More weirdness, these tardis that eat players. You can't interact with anything in them. You can't even break blocks. World edit tool can set position with right click but not left.

Posted Dec 30, 2014I have an odd problem, when players enter a tardis they suffocate in a wall and died instantly. I'm baffled.

Ok. Is there any way to salvage some parts of the database? or would it just be 'everyone lost their tardis'? (AKA could I save the worlds so that people would just need to create a new seed block)

Sounds like the database is munted, suggest you do a clean install and start over

Checked database. It's there, and it has multiple entries for some reason. Might be my past tardises? I fixed some things, but for some reason some people can't do anything inside their tardises, my tardis says it's always materializing, and I can't delete it because of an 'internal exception'. The config is configed correctly though. The explosion took out the blocks beneath the door so that was the door issue. I fixed taht one and got a temp sign in the correct format to regitster as the real one, but still can't enter or delete.

Doesn't sound like you have the plugin enabled properly, for one the Police Box should be protected from explosions, and second, if the plugin is querying the database and not finding a record for your TARDIS then maybe there isn't one (and that would explain why the Police Box could be blown up)... open the database and check.

I know I have a tardis, but the system says that I don't have one. It says that the selected player has no tardis.

I'd say you have a configuration problem - most probably with your permissions plugin or WorldGuard and the way you have set up TARDIS. TARDIS relies on WorldGuard to do its thing it doesn't deny entry by itself.
