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 Jul 8, 2015Weird, when i use the Build which is on this page (the 3.3) no changes in the server... I used the last jenkins build(3.3.1 i think or 1245 something like that - THE LATEST) and it worked ! Changes like in the changelog. Maybe re-upload the correct build?
Thanks,

Posted Jul 3, 2015I have been encountering an error for some time now, but I was trying to figure out how to fix it on my own. Well, I have come to the conclusion that I can't. The error I'm getting is "Not a valid URL! No protocol!" I have no idea how to fix this, and in the cmd, it tells me "Error occured while enabling TARDIS v3.2.11-b1209 (Is it up to date?)
I assure you, it is up to date. Downloaded the new files fresh this morning. Any help will be great, thanks.

Posted Jul 2, 2015Is there a way to prevent users from entering the TARDIS or using the Vortex Manipulator if there are certain items in the inventory? Or maybe a way to back up certain items so they can't cross over? I don't mind sharing items but the economies in my world are all gold and diamond based, so preventing the passing is a necessity. I've been trying to find another way but if this is what players use to get around it may be the best place to seek answers. Thanks!

I've had a couple of players report that also, although its never happened to my Tardis. Occassionally something will spawn in the moment I open the door, although thats rarely happens.

comments like that wont make you friends.
Tardis (the better plugin, ie THIS one), is working with 1.8.7. As that is the latest bukkit/spiggot version release at the moment what more do you want, you expect it to be compatible with 1.9 that hasn't even had preview release yet?
Features left to die? So what features that have been started that are not finished?
Why don't you write in detail what features you would like to be created, and then explain why and how it works. Have a look at many other tickets, just saying you want something 'expanding rooms (or whatever)' is mostly likely not going to happen if you cant justify it. Why do you want 'some great idea of you thought of' implremented, what purpose would it serve, would this really fit into the Dr Who world?
Create a ticket and get a discussion started with others that lurk here. Or just install that other plugin if you think its got better features.

Posted Jun 30, 2015I would love if this plugin took some of the features from this tardis plugin: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/tardis-xern/
Namely the easier to use expandable rooms. But there are so many features getting left to die because of no updates to 1.8, so I hope this plugin can eventually 1-UP that one :)

Sounds like your door is out of sync. In the past an option in the LWC plugin could cause this.
