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

Can't see the image in your post (I don't think the link is public)
Looking forward to giving it a try out after work :)
Now we just need a Mac or platform independent version as well!

Oh! the translation! I was working on it 2 years ago, but I needed to stop for some time, and never retaken it! I think it's time to continue with it. But first I will improve the tool.

You might want to check out the localisation tool featured here: http://eccentricdevotion.github.io/TARDIS/localisation.html (if you haven't already), or talk to vistaero (the author of the tool) who probably has already done the translation...

Thank you. By the way, I'm working on a Spanish translation (Did I mention your plugin is HUGE?). I expect it to be finished this weekend. Could you feature it on the page?

I wouldn't bother for now, you'll end up having to delete the world region files many times as things are changed and added... I'll post here: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/tardis/tickets/1168-a-dalek-conquest/ when it's ready for testing.

Every 1500 ticks - so approximately 75 seconds (approximately because not every server will run at exactly 20 ticks per second...)

Posted May 28, 2016Hi!
First of all. I've noticed the Twelfth doctor TARDIS has a "control panel" sign. I wanted to add this panel to my deluxe tardis, but couldn't find the proper /tardis update sth to do that. Is there one for it, or should I file a feature request?

Posted May 28, 2016Hello, every how many exact seconds a new random hum is played? I'm editing the hums to make them to have the exact same lenght, so we don't have gaps between one hum and another, and making them ready to play in loop!

Posted May 25, 2016@vistaero I'm going to look at my stuff later and tell you all the worlds I made. You don't even need the generator for ever world. You can make custom worlds in the single player game, then copy the world folder and import it to your server with the multiverse plug in.

I use it all the time. I also set it to have different mobs, using the TWA mod. I once had city run by Zygons.

A Mars world generator plugin would also be cool. I think we have enough red/orange/yellow blocks to make the surface of the planet.

Just testing - eventually random Dalek cities will automatically generate (like vanilla villages), though there seems to be a bug with structure generation... https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/terraincontrol.37980/page-7#post-1589836

Why all those stacked TARDISes? Do they have a reason or is just testing?

Working on it...
https://github.com/eccentricdevotion/TARDIS/commit/4f88f3ac007dc5f82f477a765c9938c08ef898b2
http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/tardis/tickets/1168-a-dalek-conquest/
Bit of experimentation with automatically generating structures when the chunk generates...
Thinking of doing some other world types, but not sure what yet...

Posted May 22, 2016Hello everyone!
Do any of you use world generator plugins? I think that this plugin is funnier if you have exotic worlds to visit, so, any recommendations?
