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
Official documentation & FAQs

What's new?
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 Feb 10, 2017Is there a way to limit the charge? My players have found they can fill the condenser with diamond blocks, overcharge by 5000% and then never worry about keeping it up.

Posted Feb 10, 2017No, but you could increase the amount of energy needed to do anything. Personally I don't have an issue with overcharging the Artron Capacitor unless players are doing it in Creative gamemode.

Posted Feb 7, 2017version 3.7.1-b1600
If you eject the village room, villagers will still get sucked in and try to goto the non existent village room and fall into the void instead of turning into eggs.
Edit:
Turning companion build off doesn't seem to work, companions can still break and place blocks in the console.

Posted Feb 8, 2017Both should be fixed in build #1602 - if you are going to download this build you will also need a new version of LibsDisguises - use this one: https://github.com/eccentricdevotion/TARDIS/blob/master/lib/LibsDisguises.jar?raw=true - at least until the official jar is updated.

Posted Feb 4, 2017oddness in version 3.7.1-b1598
After changing desktop theme special blocks in console are vulnerable and the console can be destroyed by placing an anti-gravity room below it.
In ARS when you build a workroom and then try to eject it, it says no slot selected on the dynamite. This only seems to happen with workrooms but I have not tested every room.

Hey! You are not permitted to leave this area!
Server database ran out of room and ate itself. Server was reset. Now you see the above message when you try to enter a new tardis. Is this worldguard entries the tardis made that were not removed or is it someting in the tardis itself?

Posted Jan 26, 2017Get the latest build from the TARDIS Jenkins server (link on this page above), I think this may have been fixed in that.
Looks like you may have deleted a world, but left the Junk TARDIS in it?

Posted Jan 28, 2017The TARDIS plugin can't find a world that existed at some time on your server. You should make sure that there are no TARDISes in that world before removing it.
