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

I deleted the entries, and no longer get a server error, but they don't get re-added after restarting the server.

Delete the entries for the Rift Circuit & Rift Manipulator from the recipes.yml file and let them get re-added next server startup. If that doesn't work, make a ticket with the server startup log in a paste and attach recipes.yml

This is what the server log is telling me:
[00:49:42 INFO]: [TARDIS] Rift Circuit recipe failed! Check the recipe config file!
[00:49:42 INFO]: [TARDIS] Rift Manipulator recipe failed! Check the recipe config file!
No errors before or after those messages. And yes I have every single map file moved to the correct folder. And this is a completely fresh installation, with none of the config files edited.

Why not save and play automatically when you select a hum?

Posted Jun 25, 2016Hi!
Using build 1513 I've been having some issues with sounds, in particular it seems that it dosn't always play the preffered interior hum I have set, and sometimes the hum seems to stop.
The server log is also telling me there's issues with the rift circuit and rift manipulator schematics for some reason.
Edit: All signs are blank too, though that's probably something wrong on my end. And if you have your TARDIS in junk mode, it'll now leave you behind if you hit the handbrake.

Two things, A. Are you putting the circuits in all at once? Because that does not work. B. Have you moved the map files to the world folder?

Posted Jun 24, 2016Hi I am getting this message when trying to change the desktop theme
Cannot change the desktop theme as more than 25 percent of the console blocks have changed. stats=644 of 991 non-air blocks have been changed, which equals 73%.
Try changing the wall floor preferences back to their original seed block values.
All I had done to get this was to change from the master to the 4th consoles. and now I cannot change to anything else?

Sometimes the output of the craft is empty till you click on it. Or you haven't got the permissions set to craft a sonic correct

Posted Jun 24, 2016Hey! So I was just in survival and I was trying to make a really good sonic screwdriver since I had all the circuits and the screwdriver, but it didn't work. Nothing showed up in the crafting table. Anything to help?

Make sure you have the correct version of ProtocolLib - the server log should tell you which version to install
