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

You need to put it in the Java extensions folder:
Mac: /Library/Java/Extensions/ PC: C:\Program Files\Java\lib\ext\

The best thing about 1.9 is the dual wielding - it means that the Weeping Angel will finally get to have 2 wings :)

Posted Sep 12, 2015I just watched a video regarding minecraft 1.9, apparently you can make items have different textures based on their durability. Could be useful for the resource pack.
Also, new biome "The Void" looks like it'll be very useful for the plugin. No mobs spawn naturally at all, no rain, and probably other features, those are the only ones I know atm

Where do I get the SQLite JDBC drivers? I tried google, didn't find anything
I downloaded a Jar file called "sqlite-jdbc-3.8.11.1" but have no idea what to do with it

Double-click the TARDIS.jar file, though you'll need to have the SQLite JDBC drivers installed
EDIT, hmm seems to be broken right now, will see if I can fix it...

Set the cooldown on the ServerSign to Java's
Integer.MAX_VALUE= 2147483647 = ~ 68 years... much simpler :)If you give me a list of missing perms, I'll add them to the page...

Posted Sep 5, 2015The permissions page is missing some of the newer permissions, been digging thru the change logs to find them. I did notice one thing, the permission for the ars console and the permission to use the ars sign are both tardis.ars.
Anyways, I do have a question. :) The add_perms permission. Would it be possible to have this without the per world permission? I found this plugin ServerSigns, it lets you do all kinds of neat commands and I think I have figured out a way for players to buy consoles in game. Now what I was wanting to do is give players permission to buy the consoles with something like serversigns.use.buy.tardis.plank and then when they buy it the permission is removed, but you can only remove explicit permission and not permissions that are in a group. But if the TARDIS added the permissions via the add_perms when a TARDIS was created they would be explicit :) I suppose you would have to not set them as world specific if per worlds were off. What do you think?

Mobs won't randomly spawn in the TARDIS if the parking area has a WorldGuard region with
mob-spawning: denyset. But I guess that doesn't solve your 'lack of exploration' problem - though it would be a pretty inefficient way to farm mobs.
