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

It still harms me. By the way, I made a map with a much cooler library with a pool in it, and a secondary console room. (It looks like the one Tom Baker used in a couple episodes.) May I send it?

You need to update the position of the handbrake as the schematic for building the emerald TARDIS has a bug in it (fixed in the next version) just type:
/tardis update handbrakethen hit the lever in its current position.
Re growing rooms:
create_worlds: truein the TARDIS config...-

Posted Feb 2, 2013I am enjoying the new room feature that you have added. Is it possible that you could add a gravity well that generates upwards from the key block so you can build up much easier?

Not sure I get the connection between recharging the TARDIS (which can be done multiple ways) and PermissionsBukkit, crashing, and no one being able to build?

It would help to tell us what permissions plugin you are using, and what permissions you are giving your players...
Be aware that you are using a beta version that is not quite stable yet...
In order to grow rooms, your TARDIS needs to have been created in its own world, this means you would need to install TARDISChunkGenerator (if you haven't already, it comes zipped with the TARDIS plugin) and Multiverse to manage your worlds. Once you have those in place, you will need to:
/tardisadmin create_worlds trueAs stated above, there is documentation for version 2.0 here: http:eccentricdevotion.github.com/TARDIS/

All I hear are quotes from The Doctor and the TARDIS materialization sounds. I don't think the interior buzz is there. (The only other sound I thought I would like other than materializing and dematerializing.)

TARDIS is not compatible with BukkitForge, nor do we have any plans to make it so in the near future as development just for Bukkit takes up enough of my time as it is...
Feel free to have a go updating it yourself (or find someone who can) the source code is freely available on GitHub under a GNU GPL 3 license - you could either submit a pull request, or create your own fork of the project (however the license requires you to release the code for free public use...)
Github repository is here: https:github.com/eccentricdevotion/TARDIS
