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

I've had another play with MCP, CTM, and the TARDIS doors and I've finally figured out how to do biome specific doors again :) At work now, so will update the TARDIS-MCP resource pack afterwards, suggest you take a look.

Edit the custom texture pack to make Iron doors the TARDIS door again. Unfortunately it seems as though MCPatcher/Minecraft no longer supports biome specific doors :(

Posted Sep 23, 2015I have a new custom texture pack and it's changed the look of the door on my Tardis. Is there anyway to fix this so that my tardis door stays the same and doesn't change with the texture pack?

"2 tb of ram", so you have 2 terabytes of RAM? (that's 2048 GB, more than any computer that I have ever heard of) lol I think you mean 2GB, which is not really enough to run both the operating system and a Minecraft server that is using 1GB RAM, plus whatever the Minecraft client is using (usually 1GB by default). Either your numbers are wrong, or you don't really know what you're talking about. Hard drive space also has no relevance to lag (unless you don't have much space left).
If this has only just started happening, then it is more likely to be something wrong with your computer, as TARDIS code has not changed in this respect.

You mean 2Gb of ram I think. 2Gb ram is barely enough for windows to run, although if you have a mac I've no idea what a reasonable amount of ram is required.
My server has 14Gb ram dedicated just to minecraft, leaving another 2Gb for mail/web servers and linux OS, it iss in another country and I rarely get lag. And when I do get lag its my internet connection and not the server.

Posted Sep 23, 2015@alexander775941775941775941 It's server lag. Not a bug, nothing to do with the TARDIS plugin.

Honestly, it sounds almost impossible, but then again, some might say this plugin is impossible...

It was an attempt to make TARDIS Bungee compatible so travel across servers was possible. Unfortunately I think its going to be way too hard, hence why there hasn't been much work on it.

Did I ever mention I can predict the future?
I predict this will be a 'no'.
