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

Don't put stuff in the centre...
Or put a TARDIS area there, but don't give anyone permission to land in it

I have a carpark on my server that there is a stairway into, and they might be greet ed by a TARDIS... Is there a possible way around this? Is there a way to block off a place? I tried using a barrier 3 blocks high in the centre but the TARDIS materialised around it anyway. Can you maybe add some sort of better thing for areas?

The button I'm talking about is the button to set the destination which is like locking onto the coordinates. The version of "WorldGuard" I am using is http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/worldguard/files/42-world-guard-6-0-beta-2/. Which is WorldGuard 6.0 Beta 2. I also tried the Beta 3 but that didn't work either.
UPDATE: The HADS is going into the negatives. The "lock-on" button seems to be the only control not working in the tardis. The remote still isn't working either.

Posted Jan 20, 2015Update: The lock-on button isn't working, the remote isn't working, the power button works, cannot call TARDIS, TARDIS can build, etc.
Yes, I have multiverse and worldguard v3. I don't know what's going on. I tried all the 1.7 versions I thought would work but didn't.

When I do this with:
/tardisgive Nomad tardis seed
it gives a "help" for items that can be given. If I do ;
/tardisgive Nomad seed budget
that works though.
Thanks

Posted Jan 20, 2015Ah, I hadn't seen the GUI before. That is NICE....
When I wipe/reset my world it would be handy for the "give myself the default seed block" item ID, but that is still a great step.
Thanks.

OK then try this
1. Create a BUDGET TARDIS
2. Dump a stack of diamond blocks in the condenser
3. Shift-right click the sign that has "TARDIS ARTIFICIAL RECONFIGURATION SYSTEM"
4. Use the desktop theme GUI that displays after shift-right clicking the sign and switch between console types...
Here is the documentation about changing the console once a TARDIS has been created. http://eccentricdevotion.github.io/TARDIS/desktop-theme.html
