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.

Have you got Multiverse and TARDISChunkGenerator installed? If Yes, have you imported your TARDIS world into Multiverse?

Posted Feb 3, 2013I'm running the latest Beta version, and I'm having a slight problem with the emerald block tardis, it won't move a block. I believe the problem lies with the lever, which is not giving a message whenever I left/right click it.

Yeah I was thinking that was the problem. I don't know if there is a way to fix it.

You might have to break the ice in the pool yourself... It had to be ice because water runs out when the room is grown block by block!
I'm aware of the chest/ladder issue, but haven't looked into what is causing it yet. I've only had the one ladder pop off in the library, and as long as the chest opens, can't say I'm bothered too much if its facing the wrong way. I must not build TARDISs as often as you do (apart from for testing purposes) so having to change its direction once in a while isn't too bad.

Posted Feb 2, 2013I can't get the sounds working for the TARDIS, please help.
I have spout plugin, and have enabled the sfx with commands
/tardisprefs sfx true
/tardisadmin sfx true
But the sound still won't work. I have alto changed use spout in my config to true, but it keeps changing back to false when I put my server back up.

By the way, on that tardis world you uploaded, what coordinates is the console room at? I spawned at the world's spawn point, AKA in mid air right over the void!
EDIT: Never mind found it at coords 0 0 0

I had this problem once on a much older version of this plugin (1.8.x) on a multiplayer server when I messed my console room up a bunch and had to rotate everything, including the door. Whenever I tried to use it, I would be put on the wrong side of the police box, and the same way with the interior, getting put on the outside of the inside, as it were, or other times put inside a block beside the door. I finally deleted my TARDIS on frustration, and the problem resolved itself. Not sure about your issue though... Apparently, if you move the TARDIS door, it doesn't take the orientation of the door into account, and puts you on a certain side of it no matter what. This may or may not be the issue. I could always be wrong!

Posted Feb 2, 2013There seems to be a problem in the schematics with the orientation of blocks. For example, in the diamond console room, the "bonus chest" in the back is ALWAYS backward. So annoying! And in the kitchen, the furnaces were both facing the same direction, the face of one right up against the back of the other. And I watched the library grow... the ladders would be put on an invalid block such as a fence post or pressure plate, and be updated when the next row or block comes along and it pops off! So annoying!
Also, is the pool ice supposed to turn to water when done growing? because it remained frozen on my one-man server!
Thanks for making this EPIC plugin, by the way! :)

Posted Feb 2, 2013The secondary console room and the library are up and to the left of the console. Please look at the console that is supposed to resemble the Tom Baker back up console. (A sign will tell you which door to use.) https://www.dropbox.com/s/2npttgo3babbu2m/11thDoctor%27sTARDISDoorGlitch.zip

Definitely send it if it's the same map that damages you when entering... Then I can have a play and see what's up :)
