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

The link is correct, but you need to download both files.
One for the server (which you already have)
And the other one is the client you use to connect to the server (instead of the usual Minecraft client)

Yes I am, although could you send me a link to the latest download?
I might not have the right thing.
I downloaded the plugin from here http://get.spout.org
and used the link on the right 'for servers'.

Posted Feb 5, 2013Have managed to reproduce a dupe bug now:
Because the destination was set but not used the plugin was confused as to where the Police Box actually is when it comes to removing it...
Also, if materialise is false in the config, it is possible to release the handbrake twice resulting in the Police Box being built on top of a Police Box and replacing the blocks when it leaves.

Hey,
Sorry, TARDISCommands.java was 424 not 124. That's what I get for not double checking what I type :p
Multiverse-Core is enabled (according to markdf; we share the server)
Here's the errors you asked for (and a couple more I found in the logs): http://dev.bukkit.org/paste/7061/

Are you sure its line 124 in TARDISCommands.java, that just sends the command sender a message? Won't be able to debug the QueryFactory if I don't know where it is receiving the wrong data from...
TARDISDoorListener.java line 424 is checking the game mode of the world you are travelling to. Should only be running this line if you have Multiverse-Core enabled. Is this the case?
Please post the appropriate parts of the server log here

Posted Feb 5, 2013Not sure if it's been posted but with 2.0b5 we've been getting a nullpointerexception from line 124 in TARDISCommands.java and a Stringindexoutofrange: -1 error from QueryFactory.java line 124
UPDATE: Looking at the logs again I'm also seeing a nullpointerexception in TARDISDoorListener.java line 424

I found that if the TARDIS was already overlapping a "dupe" that after the 2.0b5 update the "dupe" would still appear when the TARDIS left because it was replacing the blocks it thought were supposed to be there. More of a housekeeping issue than the "dupe" issue.
Once a couple of us moved our TARDII around and cleaned up the mess left from 2.0b4 we have not yet been able to recreate the DUPE. I will keep you informed.

Bugger, I don't suppose you can pin-point exactly why and when it does it?

Actually the parking on top of each other is a bug that I've spent the last few days doing my best to squash, you'll find that the TARDISs underneath are probably dupes and can be destroyed and harvested... Just as well they haven't got their chameleon circuits on as there'd be a whole bunch of iron blocks for the taking! EDIT now I view the whole image I see there are a couple :P
Will add the hidden TARDIS entry to the todo list :)

Posted Feb 4, 2013Our city is getting a little crowded at the recharge area with Tardis's parked on top of each other, its a bit of hazard when you step out the door and your parked on top of two other Tardis's.
At last count the server had 40 Tardis's...seems like an appropriate number.
Also, perhaps a way for admin to enter a Tardis that is hidden would good when more important things are sorted.

I found it shortly after posting and deleted my comment. Sorry. I was going to suggest either changing it to a % or making it a tunable in the config.
Thanks.

At the moment it is a fixed amount. I guess if you have increased the
full_chargevalue, then a percentage would make more sense, so that it still takes 2 minecraft days to do a full charge from empty.-

Posted Feb 4, 2013Hello ecc, I've sent this to ewized also.
I think I've found the code in the TARDIS plugin that's causing an issue : Next time ewized is on tell him we're getting a NullPointerException at line 78 of TARDISExplosionListener.java It's either e.blockList() which is null (unlikely) or block is null in which case he'll need to edit line 78 to read:
if (block && e.blockList().contains(block)) {
That should stop the severe errors we're getting in the log
[7:59:05 PM] Kelvin (GM2K):
oops, just noticed there was an update. So the problem may have been fixed, you can probably ignore that!
