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

TARDISChunkGenerator has already been updated, get it from the Jenkins server. TARDIS v3.7-beta-1 should run on 1.11, though you'll need to update various dependent plugins like ProtocolLib, LibsDisguises and TerrainControl. A full update has been started...

The documentation really is quite thorough. I recommend spending some time reading through everything.

Posted Nov 20, 2016So I'm trying to set up my TARDISes to be in survival, but I'm having a few problems setting that up. I'm not too sure how Rooms_require_blocks works, I'm hoping it's where they need the block that each room is represented by to generate that room. Also I've been told by several players that it wold be easy to become rich in survival as they would make their interiors out of diamonds or iron and mine it all up, is there any way around that? Any help is appreciated.

Posted Nov 14, 2016A note to all, I will update my plugins including TARDIS to 1.11 as soon as I can. However, I'm currently without my normal fibre broadband internet due to more earthquakes in New Zealand where I live, so won't be able to do much until I get connected again.

Posted Nov 11, 2016Just a quick update for anyone who, like myself, is stuck on old Minecraft versions due to broken and/or out of date inventory management plugins.
It appears MultiInv has a dev build out for 1.10. No indications yet whether the developer plans on continuing to update it or if this was a one-time deal. He had previously stated the plugin was officially abandoned.
On the Per World Inventory front, it still appears to be too buggy for production use. This was said in the discussion last week:
To make sure everything runs smoothly, the same person suggests:
Hopefully that info is useful to some of you out there. Keep the faith, stay off the naughty list!

Posted Nov 10, 2016I love this plugin, it works great on my server and my VIPs are making everyone jealous flying around in them.
But I have noticed that when I try to add multiple custom consoles, it only shows the one linked to the OBSIDIAN block (yes, I have editted the custom_consoles.yml and the artron.yml to include them).
is there something I'm missing still?

None, whatsoever. I wouldn't expect much soon either - it's the start of summer in my part of the world and there are better things to do than sit in front of a computer ;) Maybe when I update for 1.11...

Yep, same principle though, but I obviously haven't got around to coding Polar Bears in yet...
