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 Jul 16, 2016Found another unrelated bug that should be easy to fix. Using the TARDIS Information System, trying to get info about the Ender console, it says to type E, but E is also for Exit, so it closes the menu.

Yeah not currently possible, maybe clicking the save-sign with a save-disk? (when I get around to coding it...)

Sorry, I forgot a very important bit of information there. Sorry, I'm tired... I meant that when using Junk mode. Because the only way to control it is the saves sign, and I can't add saves in hard mode.

Posted Jul 16, 2016If you're in hard mode, how do you add locations for the TARDIS to travel to? Since the save discs don't appear as saves on the GUI, I've only been able to add saves to that in easy mode using the command, but my server is permanently hard mode.

This can be fixed by toggling the lights off and on through the console sign.

"I have this problem where TARDIS will work perfectly fine starting up, but when I get inside there are no signs and some redstone things look like they've "popped off" but they're actually still there."
I just started getting this issue after upgrading to 1.10.2, I didn't have it on 1.10

Posted Jul 9, 2016Oh dayum daniel! I didn't realize you condensed everything into the one sign on the console! Mah bad!
Lighting is still a bit of an issue though...I wonder if ARS rooms have the same issue...testing now, will get back to you.
Until I get back after the room is built, here's a screenshot of the console room after the system is turned on and everything. I put some of the lamps in focus so you can see some are not emitting light at all while some are, but it is ONLY the block that is lit and none around it.
TARDIS lighting problem
EDIT: ARS rooms light up the way they should. Just initial TARDIS lighting is off. It's not a big problem and I'll live with it.

Posted Jul 9, 2016I'm still having the same exact problem guys, absolute darkness when walking inside the TARDIS. I've deleted all configs, the TARDIS_TimeVortex world, updated TARDIS to latest build, etc. But it's just. Not. Working.
What I mean is, the plugin works in general, but it's not emitting light inside a new TARDIS, and there are ZERO signs inside said TARDIS. The TARDIS can still move about and what-not, but there are no signs! I have to walk around the TARDIS with a light source to make the lighting work.
I know how to set up new signs, but I'd rather it just sort of happen on creation like it's supposed to. A little help would be wonderful guys. :)

No, a particle API was added to Bukkit/Spigot, so the plugin now uses that.

Posted Jul 8, 2016Updating my Tardis server(Thank you for continuing to support this fine mod). I remember the Jink Tardis needed a Particle lib jar or something like that, does the Junk Tardis still need that for Particle effects?

Posted Jul 6, 2016Hey guys, I have this problem where TARDIS will work perfectly fine starting up, but when I get inside there are no signs and some redstone things look like they've "popped off" but they're actually still there (maybe a duplicate that gets removed and pops off somehow?).
TARDIS 3.6.1-b1528 (was using 1525 but just updated and same issue.) Spigot git-Spigot-a9631d2-67b2424 (MC: 1.10.2) (Implementing API version 1.10.2-R0.1-SNAPSHOT)
The Spigot is the one from your index page, and says "You are running the latest version".
When I wake up, I'll read the responses. I'll probably delete my Time Vortex world and try that just in case. Thanks for the help in advance!

Set a respawn world in Multiverse config, I'll check out the
vortex_fallsetting when I get time.You can ignore the WorldGuard warning they just seem to have a weird version number in their release (6.1.2;e38d98d)
