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

Obviously the problem is with your server or your setup, my server and many other other servers have hundreds of players with no problems at all. With so many players growing hundreds of rooms I'd have noticed any load on the server. If you are using a VPS or game hosting company where resources are shared then that could be your problem.

The performance hit I can deal with, the item keeping I can't.
I'm trying to find a solution. Can we please have a way that nobody can break anything in a shared world?
Please... can anything be done?

Too bad for you, seems to work fine for other servers with 300+ users...

From what I could see if the inventories were shared (using seperate worlds here), i could effectively break the wool/clay, go back to main world, delete the tardis, recreate the tardis and rinse/repeat.
I've set it so a key is given and inventories are seperate, hopefully that fixes this issue?
No players can be trusted, especially on a public server....
Is this plugin aimed at super small servers or private ones then? As..
1) Would require monitoring every player going back and forth to their tardis 2) Doesn't change being able to break blocks 3) Doesn't help with public servers 4) Wouldn't help anyone having problems with making a tardis
Just can't understand why this duplication bug is being overlooked, a tardis is a source of free items? it would be the first thing any decent admin would think of when allowing players to use it?
Turns out I have to have shared inventories as the tardis requires items to power?

would you consider turning this into a forge mod?

I tested manually growing rooms outside the ARS grid, and didn't have any problem. Do you think it is because it was a custom console? (It shouldn't as the check in the code makes no distinction regarding the console type...)

WorldGuard stops other players from breaking blocks not the owner of the TARDIS. The owner should be allowed to modify their TARDIS interior, the plugin will always allow this. If players are taking advantage then you have some options:
growth.rooms_require_blocks: truein the config so that players are required to condense the blocks needed to grow TARDIS roomstardis.usepermission - players can't be trusted, don't give them permissioncreation.count: 1for example), if they destroy their TARDIS they don't get a chance to make another one-

Posted Jan 24, 2015I don't understand, people can break the Tardis walls (using wordguard shown above) effectively getting free items.
How do I stop this?
I've also set spawn-protection to 0

The wing took advantage of a bug where setting a helmet slot to a lily pad looked like a wing... I guess Mojang fixed it :(

Not a really bug. If you are not using the TARDISWeepingAngels plugin, just remove the skeleton texture from the resource pack. Weeping angels don't have bows, so can't shoot you, what you see is just a normal skeleton.
I probably should change the way that angels work, now that changes to Minecraft mean that they no longer have wings.

Hullo,
I found a bug in the custom texture pack. Well, I have some Weeping Angel face on Skeleton Head, and I'm tired to don't blink or they shoot me. No, seriously it's very weird so please if you can tell me what is wrong or if it's really a bug, it will be awesome.
Cheers!
P.S: Sorry for my bad English, I'm French!

Posted Jan 22, 2015Eccenticnz,
I ran into a snag with ARS and custom TARDIS. As you know I have a oversized TARDIS. Tonight I finally got all of the items to create my TARDIS again. YAY.. Anyway i built the TARDIS with my custom console. After it was created I wanted to start building. I usually do n't build using the ARS because of the size of my console. So I do it the manual way, but I was unable to build any room, because it kept telling me that I couldn't build a room unless I built it using ARS. I assumed it was because I was in the predetermined console grid. So I built a cobble bridge way out into the void and tried again. No matter how far out i built it wouldn't let me create the room.
So my question is, is there a way to override the ARS warning and build manual rooms where I need too? Kinda like the way we had to build before custom consoles could use the ARS.
Cheers!
