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 May 1, 2016Does anyone know of a texture switcher for Multiverse? I used to have one but it doesn't work with the new version of Spigot. I've tried others, too, but still haven't found one that works. Any help would be great. I've also put in a request on the Bukkit forums but no one has filled it yet.

Thank you. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help or provide testing info for. B2 has fixes that were missing from B1 for things such as offhand lighting, which is needed for those of us using purdy shaders.

Back to B1 then I guess.
I've submitted an issue on the OptiFine GitHub page...

And after all that effort to fix the sign, the latest version of OptiFine, 1.9.2_HD_U_B2, breaks it on us. All I see now is the quartz pillar, no more TARDIS sign. I'm guessing this has something to do with it:

Posted Apr 28, 2016Haven't played since all the trouble with Bukkit DMCA started way back when, just decided yesterday to start overhauling our server to use Spigot/Bukkit and I'm soooo glad to see this mod is still in development, it was my favourite MC mod by far. :D

Okay, after two hours of trial and error I think I have figured this out. Leaving everything the way it currently is, if all you do is vertically flip the
tardis_wall_sign_flipped.pngtexture, it appears to line up in all directions.I could not, for the life of me, figure out how to flip it using only the blockstates values. Everything I tried only rotated it, which doesn't help.
PSA:
Be aware that this texture pack will now disable Minecraft's natural textures randomization for quartz pillars and bedrock blocks (Pandorica preset). It's barely noticeable for quartz pillars, but bedrock definitely suffers. If you need your bedrock looking nice and random, you'll have to delete the bedrock blockstate file and all the pandorica textures from your resource pack.

Thank you very much for your efforts. I've started reading up on how it all works so I can help figure that part out. Perfectionist me does want it all lining up properly :)

Okay, sign is always right way up, wood grain lines up half the time... if you want to have a play with the values in /assets/minecraft/blockstates/quartz_column.json and see if you can come up with a better solution, I'm sure everyone would eternally grateful (can't get my head round it myself right now)

I reverted my changes and updated, but the sign has new issues now. The direction the TARDIS is facing appears to confuse it. Facing east, for example, the front is still upside down but facing north it appears rightside up. The side seems to have been rotated 90 degrees so the wood grain doesn't line up anymore.

Think I fixed the sign (and the Pandorica preset). It seems that minecraft's "natural textures" feature was screwing things up by rotating the textures based on their orientation. Update from GitHub to see if it works for you (you might have to revert your previous changes).
