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
Official documentation & FAQs
The documentation is here: https://tardis.pages.dev/

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

The plugin DOES work on 1.8.3, mine and countless other servers are proof there is no problem. The problem is yours, not being able to setup the plugin correctly. Not being very helpful am I? If however you said you cant get it to work instead of assuming its the plugin's problem the response to you would be very different.
Try reading the docs again carefully. This is not a simple plugin you just toss in the plugins folder and expect it to work.

Best way to get things added is to create a ticket, put in lots of detail and ideas, others may then contribute to expand it even more. But you have to have details as to why it would be good, how it would actually work etc. If eccentric likes it, it may be added.
update..dont ask for the light switch, its not going to happen as its not possible and has been mentioned several times.

Posted Apr 20, 2015I dont know ! Maybe more rooms , or doing the actually rooms prettier ! I can help , i'm very good at building. Maybe more things from the Doctor's universe ,a special world generator to create a Trenzalor, a Gallifrey ? Maybe quests ? Maybe new controls (we must do a brain storming to find them :p)? Working on the SonicScrew. ? And i forget many things (if i have ideas i'll tell you in a ticket) but i have the same idea as i had : the lamps on/off in ALL the Tardis !
If you want me or my cousin(he really loves DoctorWho) to find more features , send me a PM.

Big update,why? What major features do you think are missing? I haven't seen to many suggestions lately which seems to me that it has just about anything everyone wants.

It is my understanding that if running CraftBukkit/Spigot 1.8.x you need Towny 0.89.2.0
As the current version of TARDIS also requires CraftBukkit/Spigot 1.8 I see no point in changing that...

I'm not sure how a Sonic API is going to help you code your plugin... and as has been stated many times before (in comments and tickets) I'm not interested in adding any weapons to the TARDIS plugin.
In saying that, I (or other servers) are under no obligation to use your plugin. However, you will need to make a comprehensive ticket, detailing what this so-called 'Sonic API' should actually achieve before I even consider taking a look at coding it...

The Doctor doesnt use weapons, seems out of place to include that in the Tardis plugin.

Posted Apr 18, 2015Please, make the plugin compatible with all versions of Towny or has an option to disable this plugin towny, why now does not work me, to use a version of towny that works for me perfectly (From 1.7.10).
