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

To get set up with spigot I recommend that you start here http://www.spigotmc.org/threads/bukkit-craftbukkit-spigot-1-8.36598/
Then follow it up by going to the TARDIS plugin forum (link is up top) and read the discussion labeled opinions needed. After those two helpful places you'll be running spigot in no time.

Posted Jan 9, 2015I think that if you can make the TARDIS plugin what it is today, then you can make a tschm viewer or editor. I would like to offer my testing abilities if you do decide to take a swing at it.

No apology necessary, the reason for the switch to the .tschm format was that .schematic and (maybe, I don't know for sure) mcedit files still use minecraft IDs (which are deprecated), and I wanted to switch to using materials, so I wrote my own version to do that. Not sure my skills would be up to creating an editor, but it would be an interesting challenge...

Posted Jan 9, 2015I apologize, I was not looking for a replacement. I was trying to find a way to possibly load the built in console into a program so that if someone wanted to edit it for a custom console with out having to build a tardis, use world edit to copy and then keep changing the desktop themes to copy the consoles that they want to mod.

Posted Jan 9, 2015looked through about 10-20 pages of comments but couldnt see the answer to this question. Hopefully someone can help. In the documentation it has a list of the seeds to grow a tardis, and a page with images showing the different consoles. (as you know by now im sure)
BUT, in the pictures it shows the twelfth doctors tardis, but in the list of seeds twelve's tardis isnt listed.
What block do you use to create it?

Posted Jan 9, 2015Is there a program that let's you see schematics in the , TARDIS.plugin, .tsch format like MCedit does for. Schematic files?
Also where is the "anchor" for the console Schematics? Is it the left corner as you are looking at the door from the inside. (hopefully it makes sense)

Okay, the upside down part, I have no idea, but the Lines and the texture gaps is just the textures messing up the original vanilla model, He said it wont be fixed soon.
But the Upside down thing, I have no idea.

Posted Jan 8, 2015I also have the upside-down texture. It also seems all item textures have weird lines and are not working properly. I've tried reinstalling mcpatcher but that hasn't worked either. If it helps, I'm using the latest 1.8 Mcpatcher. (5.0.0_02)
