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
Official documentation & FAQs
The documentation is here: https://tardis.pages.dev/

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 Feb 20, 2016I'm having a problem with the texture pack where the only textures working are the Sonic Screwdriver and the TARDIS door. I've tried everything I can think of, but nothing works.

I switched to another minecraft server hoster, so I moved files successfully. Sonic screwdriver works fine, but when I try to freeze a player , it says "You cannot freeze another player yet!" How to solve this problem?

Put the map files in the correct location (read the server log to see where)
I'm pretty sure you haven't set up your perms correctly, read the appropriate documentation on the PEX pages

Posted Feb 9, 2016@eccentricnz I've done the following - http://imgur.com/DDYNLoh Now, I have some permissions in the admin menu in the screwdriver but some of them are missing. (for example, redstone permission is not shown in the menu). http://imgur.com/HPfy4EG But I still can't craft. P.S. Can this cause problems? http://imgur.com/vEKJ18U

Posted Feb 9, 2016@eccentricnz Hello! Can you help me with permissions for sonic screwdriver? I've added them into the permissions.txt, but I can't combine screwdriver with circuits. I can only open/close the door. Check the screenshots, please. Maybe there is something wrong.. http://imgur.com/6TvZjK1 http://imgur.com/9qTrluy

No, it's not compatible with bungee, have looked into whether it could be made so, but didn't get very far with it due to the limitations of the bungee system.

Posted Jan 30, 2016Eccentric, is TARDIS bungee compatible and if not what would it take to make it that way? Basically what I am thinking is different worlds for the TARDIS to travel to that are on different servers, sort of a load balancing situation. Any ideas, suggestions, insights?

You can ignore the error, it won't affect anything. Should be fixed in build #1375.
