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 Jun 20, 2015I found a plugin clash problem. (dunno what else to call it) I loaded GUIshop.jar and it seemed to work ok. Then i went in my tardis and tried to use the control sign and weirdness began. I'm pretty sure its the other guys code but take a peek at it and see. If you want access to my test server let me know and we can get it set up.

replace 100:15/tschematic pastecommand myself (and when I do I always check the doors...) I have a separate world with the consoles permanently in place so I can make changes as necessary and then just create a new schematic.-

Posted Jun 20, 2015I have been messing around with mysql and I have it working but the TARDIS plugin wants its own database, is there anyway to just add a prefix and use a single database for everything? LWC has this option, its default is 'lwc_' so when looking at the database you can see all of the lwc tables easily and there is less chance of fubarness.
Also, when making a custom tardis you have to use mushroom stems for the repeaters, since the changes in 1.8 these are hard to get. I used world edit and did a copy/paste but they just stayed stems in the finished product. There is also some weirdness with the door, when i load the custom and paste it to make a change the door tends to pop off, if you don't notice this you end up making a tardis without an interior door that can't be deleted o.O

If default_world is set to false and create_words is set to false I believe it will build the tardis down around bedrock level of where you placed the seed. If you have it set like it is above check your yml formatting, something may be wonky and it isn't reading it properly.

Make sure you have TARDISChunkGenerator and Multiverse installed and that the TARDIS_TimeVortex world has been imported correctly (see http://eccentricdevotion.github.io/TARDIS/faqs.html#import):
/mv import TARDIS_TimeVortex normal -g TARDISChunkGeneratoror if the world doesn't exist yet:
/mv create TARDIS_TimeVortex normal -g TARDISChunkGenerator-

Check the server log when it starts up, it will most likely tell you what the problem is. In the meantime read this: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/tardis/#w-bugs-requests

It plainly states in multiple places that the latest file is for 1.8.x... Go to the files page... http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/tardis/files/ download a version for the game version you are running.

Posted Jun 8, 2015I'm wondering if this is only for 1.8 and above because on my server it isn't letting me use the plugin.

mv import TARDIS_TimeVortex normal -g TARDISChunkGeneratorFound a bug with fresh installs where Multiverse support wasn't being loaded before the default TARDIS world was created, therefore MV didn't know about the world... fixed in build #1233
