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

Posted Nov 30, 2019Hi!
How do I make the SUBMERGED preset blend in? On it's own, it always turns to grass, even in say a desert biome. This page (https://eccentricdevotion.github.io/TARDIS/chameleon-circuit.html) says to activate the BLOCK adaptive mode after having previously set the preset to SUBMERGED, but doing so just turns it into the regular police box shape.
[20:09:36] [Server thread/INFO]: [TARDIS] You are running TARDIS version: 4.2-b1927 with CraftBukkit git-Bukkit-ccd47a5 (MC: 1.14.4)

Posted Nov 30, 2019Also, my charged creeper has dissapeared. Is there any way to respawn it? Toggling the power, and/or siege mode doesn't do anything.

Shift+Left click the Artron Button with nothing in your hand to restore the charged creeper.

Can confirm it now works as intended! Thanks so much for the quick fix. :) You're awesome, and this is by far the best and most feature-complete TARDIS/Whovian Minecraft project out there.

Posted Nov 5, 2019So... I've created an extra world, in hopes of some planet hopping. It's not showing up in the destination terminal, and I can't '/tardis comehere', because I get the error: "You cannot bring the Tardis police box to this world". It's not erroring out in the console, so I don't actually know why I can't. Any ideas?

Worked perfectly, thank you!
-side note: If someone can't use any of the controls in their Tardis, make sure they actually entered through the door. If they teleported in (with something like /qhome), you might not be considered 'in' by the controls. I don't need help with this, it's just a note, if anyone has the issue.

That worked, too. Thanks! I assumed that would be one of those glitches you just have to work around. You've been at this a while. Very cool.

Posted Nov 1, 2019In the end, the TARDIS won't leave the big main island. All random coords are within 100 blocks or so of 0,0. Is there a config that I am missing somewhere?

Posted Oct 23, 2019My server is disabling your plugin... It tells me I need TardisChunkGenerator. I HAVE TCG... I now have three copies of TCG... I got one off Curse, one off Github, and another that I extracted, and recreated as a .jar from that one from Github, that doesn't look like a plugin's files... and doesn't look anything like the files from the same plugin from Curse... Please, for the love of god, help me.

Probably have the wrong version of TCG.
As stated in the first paragraph of the installation docs - http://eccentricdevotion.github.io/TARDIS/installation.html -TARDISChunkGenerator is always available on the TARDIS plugin file page - scroll down to the Additional files section - https://dev.bukkit.org/projects/tardis/files/2744631#additional-files
