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 Jan 31, 2013I do have a concern that the new schematics can easily be used for materials abuse. Granted most of the parts of the TARDIS could be used like that but the materials are mostly mundane. But under the console of the Deluxe TARDIS is 8 or 9 Diamond blocks. Considering you only need 1 to create the TARDIS that's an exceptional rate of return.

Posted Jan 31, 2013Emerald console looks good, is there a permission for this option?
Also, could the nether & theEnd travel locations be changed to a permission instead of global setting? I'd like that as another bonus for the VIP players.

I fixed it by:
/mv import TARDIS_WORLD_bahey1999 normal -g TARDISChunkGenerator/tardis rebuild(so I could find the actual Police Box)You can either repeat these steps, or: Redownload your server folder from here: https:dl.dropbox.com/u/53758864/TARDIS_bahey1999.zip

Having a look now. When I started the server for the first time there was a parse error of Multiverse's worlds.yml file, so that is probably the problem as it is not loading your TARDIS world...

Posted Jan 30, 2013Have you found the problem with /tardisadmin list ? There are now 35 Tardis's, they seem to be everywhere on the server. With help from ewized, there is now a single world for them.

I think he is referring to the random sound bites, rather than the Who quotes in chat.

That file is only 22 bytes in size, surely not big enough to contain your whole server?

Posted Jan 30, 2013I agree with vistareo. I think that when you are inside of the TARDIS it just plays the interior buzz. The random quotes are a bit cheesy.

Posted Jan 29, 2013Hello man, I love this plugin, I follow your work since long time ago, and this TARDIS plugin is very important in my server.
But, sorry, I think that the work you've done with the sounds (for Spoutcraft, you know) is sadly poor, so I have collected these sounds which I renamed for every situation.

Sorry for any mistake I could have, I don't speak english pretty well.
