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

I currently have the SWAMP HUT preset. Not seeing any unwelcome guests coming in...
/tardisadmin purge_portalsYou're possibly running a version before this commit? https://github.com/eccentricdevotion/TARDIS/commit/dce2221ab40dd3bf2e121dea042853aee6e31cdd

In your TARDIS there is a wooden button. Should be on the side of the center console area. Right click it with a TARDIS key (GOLDEN_NUGGET by default).
I also suggest that you read the official documentation: http://eccentricdevotion.github.io/TARDIS/site-map.html

Posted Jan 16, 2015Hi! when I try to go anywhere it says "The Artron Capacitor has not been initialized!". I am in the redstone tardis and I don't know whether I need to do a command or find the Artron Capacitor but I need help either way.
Thanks!

You build it yourself: http://www.spigotmc.org/threads/bukkit-craftbukkit-spigot-1-8.36598/
Or you read the official documentation: http://eccentricdevotion.github.io/TARDIS/site-map.html

Posted Jan 16, 2015Can you link me to the working craftbukkit version? I've tried several but the TARDIS plugin doesn't work fully. Yes, I've been using the one that works with 1.7.10. No clue what's going on. If you want to mess around with it, message me.

/tardisrecipe r-keyshows a gold nugget in the centre slot of the crafting grid - it should show a TARDIS Key - crafting it with a key works :) EDIT: the documentation does tell you this though: http://eccentricdevotion.github.io/TARDIS/remote-key.html-

Most probably the plugin is not enabled properly, would need to see the server log from when it starts up.
@X00dis
Non-companions should not be able to break the siege block... is this not the case? For emergency situations, I added an admin command to build #1161 to de-siege the TARDIS -
/tardisadmin desiege [player], and also a player command to see who has the siege cube -/tardis cube@Squawkers13
@markdf
I think you might now currently need to give the
tardis.budgetpermission explicitly (as a side effect of the implementation of multiple custom tardises). I'll add it as a child of thetardis.usepermission, and check the permission code when crafting...-

Somone mentioned they cant craft the budget tardis on my server also, I assumed I probably missed a permission. Haven't had a look at the problem myself yet.

Posted Jan 13, 2015I've found a few little bugs on my server :(
For some reason players cannot craft the Budget TARDIS (All others are fine) and the Remote Key cannot be crafted?
Message for Budget TARDIS: You don't have permission!
No message for r-key.

Posted Jan 13, 2015I run the server @Redsar875 is using, this was an error the console gave after he created the TARDIS (no errors were in the console after I placed a TARDIS seed and it did not generate a TARDIS)
http://pastebin.com/spzaWdbb
We're using latest version of Spigot created by BuildTools and the latest version of this plugin.

<claps> Very cool my friend. I am assuming you are enjoying the new project?
OBTW is there a way to disable people from picking up a Sieged TARDIS? Had a young lady carry it off and then logged off. I almost died from starvation....

Posted Jan 12, 2015Added plant like blocks to TARDISSchematicViewer (and fences kind of, unfortunately there is no data value for the direction they face :( )
Think I'll do some more colour work next.
