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 Feb 15, 2015I installed and then made a mistake. There was an issue with the tardis I created and so I went to destroy it and recreate another. I had smashed the sign and when I typed exterminate it said I needed to break the sign. There is no tardis now. Nothing left of it and yet it still gives me an error that I have a tardis along with the coordinates and nothing is there.
I know this is something I did, but I am not sure what and I don't know how to get rid of a tardis that is no longer visible other than remove it from the database, but I am not sure how to go about doing that.

Give them plenty of notice, I went through the same thing although that was very early on when the interior was in the same world except close to bedrock. Some will never be happy no matter the reason, but there are options for players to get a copy of their Tardis.

Posted Feb 9, 2015I started reading it but there's a lot I haven't worked with before. Definitely sounds like a good idea and resolves my concerns as well. I'll let the players know it's happening and I'll give them enough energy to re-grow.
Thanks! Robert

You cant import them. The vortext has tardis areas setup in a grid and protected by WG, no player can raid another tardis and they are to far apart anyway. Checks the docs, its all explained.
You just tell your players it has to be done for the server to continue operating without using all the resources, players can always copy there Tardis with schematica mod to rebuild later. You could also make their tardis world available to download so they can keep what they have done on their own computer. The longer you put it off the more players you will have and the more server resources being uses.

I haven't used the Timevortex_world as thats a new one since I started using TARDIS I think.
Is it possible to import existing TARDIS's into this world? Otherwise I'll have some very unhappy users. They've put a lot of time into building and managing their tardis's. Also, does it put them all into one world? What will keep player B from messing with Player A's tardis?

Any plugin that uses UUIDs to persist player data (as they now all should) will be useless if your server is in offline mode... Offline mode calculates a UUID based on a hash of the players name, so every time you change your name you get a new UUID.
With online servers the UUID is associated with the players mojang account and never changes.
Your only choice is to open the database and manually update the UUID fields in all tthe relevant tables.

81 worlds just for each Tardis is using a lot of resources, and the server startup time must be slow. You really need to use the vortex as Squawkers said. Sure you will have a lot of un-happy players, but the longer you leave it the more load there will be on your server. Tell them it will improve the server performance, it will.

Posted Feb 5, 2015I know this isn't strictly TARDIS functionality, but is there any known way to hide the TARDIS worlds from things like "/uptime" and dynmap? I've got dynmap hiding each world individually but can't get a pattern match to work. And "/uptime" has become almost useless because my 81 tardis worlds scroll it off the screen. ( Yes, I've pruned all TARDISs not used in the last 30 days ).
