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 Jan 8, 2015Monsters are spawning inside TARDIS parked in a multiverse world that has monsters turned off. Is there a way to make the TARDIS check the world/region it is in and if monsters are not allowed to spawn keep them from 'walking in'?

allow.3d_doors allows players to see their door when the tardis is invisible if they are wearing the 3d glasses, or at least thats what i understand it to mean. Check the Change Log it has all kinds of cool stuff you should read ;)
My sonic looks fine, the lil green crystal is supposed to be on the top ;)

Because you are not doing it right.
Not very helpfull am I? But you provided no details so you were never going get anything else. Try reading the docs again, carefully one step at a time.

Check server log for errors, most probably TARDIS is not enabled properly, probably due to outdated dependant plugins (such as WorldGuard) - check the TARDIS change log

I had the exact same problem.. To fix it you need to set the 4 repeaters with the HUGE_MUSHROOM_STEM when creating the custom schematic. Not doing this will cause the entire destination related stuff to not work. It should work fine after that :D

Redid the custom console. Left only one stone button. Still no randomization..
Tried with only wood button, stone button and iron door. Still no output.
I will create a Ticket. I am also having a issue with multiple custom consoles.

Does the custom schematic have HUGE_MUSHROOM_STEM in the place where the four repeaters are? If not, those locations will not have been saved when the TARDIS is created. Update the schematic with the correct blocks and try again. http://eccentricdevotion.github.io/TARDIS/schematics.html

Posted Jan 5, 2015Question,
i use /TARDIS UPDATE BUTTON to update the stone button. However after updating the button, The button does not "randomize" when clicking. In fact nothing happens when clicking said button. It did work when the TARDIS was a Deluxe console, but once I made it a custom console it just goes click. What can I do.

I know an easy way to fix the items sides not rendering: delete the model of the item!

You could always make your own textures...
