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 Aug 24, 2016Found a bug; using the chameleon circuit, if you switch to shortened out from adaptive it'll stay adaptive despite the menu and sign saying it's changed. And could only be fixed by disabling the chameleon circuit and then shortening it out. This is on build #1558.

Posted Aug 17, 2016A quick reminder/PSA: Multiverse Inventories and now MultiInv as well are both officially abandoned (as stated by their devs) and do not function with current Minecraft versions.
As far as I know, Per World Inventory is the only remaining plugin that does the job, but be careful which version you use; the developer seems to be having a lot of trouble resolving random inventory loss issues with his newer versions. The plugin is on v1.7.8 and players report anything past v1.6.1 may be unreliable on production servers.

Permissions haven't changed.
In my testing just now, the chest minecart enters the TARDIS as expected, but drops all its items before teleporting (not sure why, but I think minecart behaviour has changed in recent Minecraft releases). It then doesn't exit until I've entered the TARDIS (which has always been a bit of an issue).
It has to be an iron door...

Posted Aug 13, 2016Is there a new permission or condition for the rail room to function now? It doesn't seem to be working after my hibernation. I am running TARDIS version: 3.6.2-b1543 with CraftBukkit git-Spigot-90f61bc-5e5cf84 (MC: 1.10.2).
It was also a pain to get a rail in front of the TARDIS, I was prevented from doing so but the chest minecart wouldn't go in, so I hid the TARDIS placed the rail then rebuilt but the chest minecart would still not go in with the door open or closed.

Posted Aug 3, 2016Hi! Uh, does the TARDIS Plugin support Vanilla Worldborders, as in, does it have some sort of option where it keeps people's TARDISes inside the Vanilla Worldborder (Like when they fly it in the world with the border)? Thanks!

Posted Jul 27, 2016WIll it be added so that if your drifting through the vortex and you try to exit you will fall into a vortex? or no? i would love that effect for roleplays on the server i play on. all my tardis rooms are custom.
