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

The problem was with the auto correct plugin, problem now is I don't have an auto correct plugin. Know any that work with the TARDIS?

I have essentials chat, an auto correct plugin to ban certain words, and a chat channels plugin, could be one of those. I'll try disabling them and see what happens

Posted Aug 23, 2015Is there a permission node for /tardis rescue or something? When I try to rescue someone, it sends them the message in chat, but when they type tardis rescue accept, nothing happens, I don't get anything in chat, the handbrake does nothing, and they don't get anything in chat either.

Ok I looked in custom consoles and config. Nothing has anything about Lamps. I just did a fresh install so I don't thing anything would be changed from default.

Make a ticket with the required info: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/tardis/#w-bugs-requests - can't help with no information. Include server logs, and any in-game messages. Make sure no other plugins (like Factions, Towny etc) are interfering (you don't need any of these in the Time Vortex world...)

Tardis works perfectly, its your setup, not the plugin.

You don't need to, they are all setup correctly. The only problem is as soon as the player goes in the tardis they can't use any controls or the door, but typing commands like /tardistravel area 1 work fine, except they can't use the handbrake.
Edit: I've also tried adding them as a companion to my TARDIS and they can't use any control then either.

I don't have time to sort out your permissions for you. I do know that if they are set up correctly the TARDIS permissions work as they should. Nothing has changed (permission wise) in the plugin for many versions, so it is unlikely the problem lies with TARDIS.

They already have the correct ones, tardis.use and all the tardis.timetravel ones too

So give them the correct permissions (in all the required worlds), https://eccentricdevotion.github.io/TARDIS/permissions.html

Posted Aug 15, 2015I have this on my server and it was working fine until I let a player without all permissions or OP have a TARDIS. They were able to create a tardis just fine, but as soon as they get in the tardis, they can't use anything, the door wont close, artron capacitor won't activate, nothing works at all. I am running version 3.3-b1244 with CraftBukkit git-Spigot-fdc1440-53fac9f (MC:1.8.8)

You never want to give tardis.* permission, as some TARDIS permissions are negative ones (i.e. you don't want to have them). If you have op and it isn't working, then it is unlikely to be permissions related.

I meant tardis.* as all the tardis. permissions. I am already opped, and the logs say nothing about the permissions when I make it. I have added tardis.custom to the Owner group (my group) many times and nothing is happening.
