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

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 Jul 4, 2017After about an 8 month Minecraft break, I just wanted to stress again just how awesome your Tardis plugin is! :) Thank you for continuing to update and improve this really cool addition to Bukkit, Spigot, and Minecraft in general!

Posted Jul 1, 2017Added Gallifrey - home world of the Time Lords:
TARDIS v3.8-beta-1 build #1639 or higher (as with the Skaro/Silurian worlds it requires TerrainControl to be enabled on the server.
Enable it in planets.yml and restart the server (might need to run the plugin once to update the planets config file).
Has a world specific resource pack to change a few colours for a more Whovian look (according to the TARDIS Wikia "From the planet's surface, it boasted an orange sky at night, snow-capped mountains, fields of red grass, and trees with bright silver leaves.") - enable resource pack switching in planets.yml (or check it out here: https://github.com/eccentricdevotion/Gallifrey)

Posted Jun 29, 2017Hello,
I see that the plugin is only updated to support Minecraft 1.11. How do I get it to work with 1.12?
Any help/advice is greatly appreciated.

TARDIS was updated as soon as a 1.12 Spigot build was available, so since May 14, 2017 ...
Use the latest dev build from the TARDIS Jenkins Server (link is above). Make sure you also download the latest TARDISChunkGenerator as well.
Once I've finished adding new features, I'll upload a release file here.

Posted Jun 29, 2017How do I check my logs? I don't have a server.log file, and the TARDIS plugin file hasn't been generated, yet I can still do /help TARDIS and the commands show up.
Ok, I got the ChunkGenerator thinking it would fix it, but zilch. Same problem.

Spigot server folder: logs: lastest.logBy default, that is how Spigot creates log files (I haven't changed any settings...)
