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

Posted Dec 6, 2017Hey, eccentricnz
Can you make the Tardis more Advanced like (First press the temoral Primer then the Helmic Regulator and then the Dematt Lever
it's just a idea, i'm not asking you to add it but it would be nice if that is added.
and can you make the sonic screwdrivers more 3D and the Dematt Lever to
like this one https://www.planetminecraft.com/texture_pack/doctor-who---tardis-resourcepack-v1/

Posted Nov 23, 2017Is there a way to require the use of the Advanced circuits without requiring the use of the save disks, and disabling access to the menu? If not, I'd like to request this.

Posted Nov 21, 2017I have 2 users who can't enter their TARDIS. I've purged them and they recreate, I've purged, then manually removed their TimeVorctex world in WorldGuard and I've wiped their Player files. Nothing changes. I've enabled debugging in the config file but there's no output. They just get "stuck" when they click the door. They have to do a "/t spawn" to teleport to their town spawn in order to be able to move again. I can enter their tardis, power it up and add artron. Trying to summon them only gets them 'stuck' where they are until they teleport to spawn again.

Posted Nov 20, 2017Does the latest version of Tardis require the paid version of lib-disguises? Lib's Disguises 9.1.2 is the latest free version of the plugin of which is intended for 1.11.

It doesn't require the paid version, and you can get the latest 1.12.2 compatible version from the LibsDisguises development server for free, follow the link on the LibsDisguises page

Posted Nov 19, 2017I'd like to set all the TARDIS worlds to Adventure, so new users don't accidentally destroy TARDIS controls (especially those repeaters), but the Handbrake won't register the left-click needed to engage it. Is there any way to work around this?

Not as far as I know.
Wouldn't Adventure mode also mean they can't customise their TARDIS? I imagine that may not be too popular with players...

Just so you're aware:
Despite your warning about 'only leaving the TARDIS through the door,' I decided to try and set up a portal room in my TARDIS (using Multiverse-Portals)...it works flawlessly, and doesn't require any screwing around to make it work! MVP fixes the occupancy issue teleporting directly seems to always induce, and doesn't require "/tardis occupy" to re-enter, call with the Stattenheim, or anything else I've found so far.
CraftBukkit 1.12.2

Posted Nov 14, 2017Is there a way I could use whatever it is that you've used to lock other worlds' times on my server? I can't find an active time-locking plugin anywhere, I don't code, and I already use your stuff on my server -- it seems like hijacking whatever method you figured out should be fairly doable. If that needs to be a feature request, I can move this wherever you'd like for that.
