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

Absolutely fresh Paper 15.2 server, no other plugins. Simply won't load the TARDIS plugin, I must be missing something.

PaperMC 1.15.2b122
Here's one: Every time I use the scanner (this happened with and without an exterior renderer), the Cloister Bell starts going off at the same time as the scanner noise, and it won't stop repeating that noise until I restart the server. This sound does not fade with distance from the TARDIS.
I don't seem to be getting errors when I hit the scanner; I'm repeating this action now, so I can see if it throws an error.
[EDIT]: Here's the paste of the log; started server, logged in, hit the scanner, confirmed the cloister bell was going off, logged, shut down the server. I see no errors.
['NOTHER EDIT]
I got this error when I tried to update it and i hit the new button. I can't be sure if that's from when I actually engaged the scanner, or when I updated to a new button.

Cloister bell shouldn't ring when scanner button is pressed will see what's up... yep missing a break; in my switch statement... fix coming up!
[EDIT] Build #2030
/tardis bell off instead of restart...
Second error seems to unrelated, its quite a few seconds (18) after - [22:05:05] [22:05:23] - though hard to say for certain as there's not enough of the error to see what it's actually related to (probably network related input/output seeing as it's netty).

Unable to get full error log; will update when server comes back online
(currently down with a bad case of 502)
Pastebin
[EDIT: here is the full log, now crashing on startup]
This began acting strange the first time the ARS was used, and totally crashed after I deleted my TARDIS, created another one, and attempted to use the ARS again. I am still setting up, and I'm the only one on the server.

Thank you sir, looks like you knocked it out of the park (as usual). I'm really enjoying the new upgrades to the console (the new textures for the ARS are particularly nice). The new mobs kick ass, too!
[EDIT] Oh, and the new sonic screwdriver models are killer.

In the plugin use Material.RED_MUSHROOM_BLOCK, Material.BROWN_MUSHROOM_BLOCK, Material.MUSHROOM_STEM. Set BlockData so that it has the correct sides for an unused mushroom blockstate e.g. "minecraft:brown_mushroom_block[down=false,east=false,north=false,south=true,up=false,west=true]"
For the resource pack check out this: https://www.planetminecraft.com/texture_pack/bonus-mushroomblocks/

Posted Feb 18, 2020hey using build #2014 on jenkins, just asking if circuits are now supposed to be glowstone dust? we had a bit of a plugin bug-out from an admin installing an update incorrectly and i just wanted to know if this was intentional or from that.
Also, when I make a TARDIS interior, the interior is mostly mushroom stems, besides my floor block. How do I disable that? Say if I picked orange wool, it's just a buncha mushroom stems.

Yep, you’ll need to update the resource pack. Existing circuits will updated when opening the advanced console and disk storage guis and you can use the /tardis item [hand|inventory] command to update others.

All TARDIS interiors are generating with mushroom-stems as the wall regardless of actual block choice. The advanced circuit noteblocks are changed too but I know that's not a bug but a feature. The walls and all that, I didn't know about.
Trying to post a photo but it's buggy, here's imgur link

It seems it's only when orange wool and light gray wool are selected that it turns to mushroom stem.. interesting. The blue wool that's normally around the door is changed to mushroom stem each time, though. Bug or feature?

Posted Feb 9, 2020Quick question:
I've been trying to use the plugin with mods on a server running with Magma on 1.12.2 but the plugin seems to be broken for some reason (I do /tardis, nothing happens, I do /trecipe list, it tells me to do /trecipe list, the crafts don't work, etc).
Is there any reason why this happens? All other plugins and mods seem to work fine. And how can I fix that?
Thank you for your time.
