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

Read the log file again... near the top/start of the log it will show plugins being loaded (TARDISChunkGenerator will probably be the first in the list) - look for theTARDISChunkGenerator entry it will tell you the version you have installed (something like
[11:04:17] [Server thread/INFO]: [TARDISChunkGenerator] Loading TARDISChunkGenerator v2.5.2)). From the error you show above it isn't the correct version.If the server is 1.11.2 you should be using TARDIS v3.7.1 and TARDISChunkGenerator v2.5.2, both can be found here: https://dev.bukkit.org/projects/tardis/files/2426500

Posted Jun 29, 2017Just added a custom Silurian Underworld to the plugin :) TARDIS v3.8-beta-1 build #1637 or higher (as with the Skaro world it requires TerrainControl to be enabled on the server and works best if TARDISWeeping Angels is also installed).
Enable it in planets.yml and restart the server (might need to run the plugin once to update the planets config file)

Posted Jun 28, 2017I recently placed the TARDIS plugin into my server. But when I do /plugins, it shows up red, while everything else is green. I found a page about this problem, followed the instructions and nothing happened. Can you help me? I am running 1.11.2. I also tried doing it with 1.11. Still the same problem.
Cam.

Posted Jun 28, 2017Everywhere I got in Skaro, it's all ocean. Know any way to fix that? I also have "land_on_water" set to false, so IDK why it's putting me in the ocean.

Posted Jun 25, 2017Hey buddy, another quick question: can my owner account create a public TARDIS where players can go in, set a destination, exit, And the TARDIS goes back to the home location after it's emptied? (Basically a way for players to head to a random wild location.)
