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 Oct 29, 2015I'm not going to file a bug report because IDK if it is. But my player cannot exit his TARDIS, at least not when the door is closed. He can exit as long as I (as OP) open the door, but he cannot open the door himself. I was wondering if there was a permission I'm missing? He could get inside but he cannot exit. When he is outside the tardis he can open and close the door.

It's generally much easier to use the
/tadmincommands, that way you don't need to reload the config and (almost all) options take effect immediately.-

Oh, of course, with the console! I didn't think that. I was editing the file directly.

Posted Oct 24, 2015Hey, I can't find in the docs info about the default_preset config option. It should be here: http://eccentricdevotion.github.io/TARDIS/configuration-preset.html
I want to set the Factory Fresh preset as default preset, but I can't figure out what I need to type. I have tried things like Factory Fresh, Factory_Fresh, FACTORY_FRESH... but none of them works.

Build #1357 on the TARDIS Jenkins server fixes the
/tardisadmin perception_filter false, but that's not the real problem -you need to delete the scoreboard.dat files from your world/data/ folderas it remembers what team players are in independently of the plugin.Edit: with build #1358 you no longer need to delete scoreboard files, just set the config option to false and restart the server - TARDIS will unregister the perception filter from the scoreboard when it is disabled :)

./tardisadmin perception_filter false does not work for me. I went through the config and set the perception filter option to false, which still didn't make me completely invisible rather than transparent. Also, is the /tardis help supposed to look different from the /tardis help in earlier versions?

Ticket... But try toggling the worldguard exit: deny flag for the TARDIS region they're in. Or if you have respawn set up correctly ie they respawn in another world, just kill them...
Or http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/tardis/tickets/1177-teleport-players-to-the-console-room-when-they-fall/ and http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/tardis/tickets/1169-allow-anyone-to-walk-into-an-open-tardis/ perhaps

Posted Oct 19, 2015I've got a new one as of the last couple days. Some users seem to die and get stuck in a purple tardis in the time vortex. I can't summon them out, they can't leave, etc. I have to remove their playerdata files and restart the server to free them. It just happened on 1344, I am right now upgrading to 1351. There doesn't seem to be any common problem which is causing it I can find and nothing in the logs. If I try to summon them out they get a message saying the user can't leave the area. If they try to let someone TP to them, they're blocked from entering the area.
Any ideas?

Sorry, I'm blind. I don't know if this deserves a ticket. It's pretty basic. Essentially due to the lava that the floor is made of in the Master's TARDIS interior, when the "texture" is changed to wool due to siege mode, the entire interior burns down.

TARDIS fonctionne très bien en mode déconnecté, vous ne pouvez pas basculer entre le mode hors ligne et en ligne, et vous ne pouvez pas changer votre nom de joueur en mode déconnecté parce que cela va aussi changer votre UUID
