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

What's new?
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

Looks like it is not appending the db prefix somewhere, I'll do some testing as soon as I get time.

Posted Mar 8, 2016Something isn't right. It won't create the TARDIS properly: it has a torch instead of a lamp after materialized (also, it has the lamp while materializing, just not in "solid" form, even during materialization process, the solid version has the torch). There is no door on the TARDIS. Multiverse gives an error when creating a TARDIS (which I'm not going to bother posting as of now until I get a clean run at it).
But what I know for sure is something isn't kosher with Multiverse. Is there a 1.9 build of MV yet?
Oh yeah, Vortex Manipulator doesn't seem to work. I can make the VM but I cannot use it.
I must say though, I'm doing this in Windows which isn't what I'm used to working with. In Linux I have more luck with server things, and this weekend I'll be working on a new 1.9 server. I'll post errors at that point in the bug tracking ticket thingy (technical wording like a pro there).

Not seeing any issues from my end, perhaps check the integrity of the db file?

Anyone else running into the missing Database error? I was working fine until the last build and didn't touch my DB so I don't think I broke it this time.

See post below.
I'll upload here to Bukkit, once ProtocolLib and LibsDisguises have been updated fully for 1.9.

Ok, I'm updating to the latest of all the modules I can find. If it happens again I'll see if I can find any additional information.
Do you have a specific WorldGuard we should be running? The latest I can find is pretty old.

Latest version for 1.9 is appears to be working on my server without any problems. No one has said anything or complained, which normally means everything is working as expected.

I'm on the latest verision you just put up. I've been running int problems where people create a TARDIS and then get a "you do not have permission to enter" type message. There's nothing in my log files indicating any errors either.
