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

Will upload a new beta tomorrow. I have changed the way that the plugin listens for fire and gravity wells. Which I am hoping will reduce lag quite a bit. It's always good when you can delete a whole bunch of code...
Unfortunately it breaks the current gravity wells (but also makes it possible to have more than one). I have written a conversion command that I just need to do a bit of testing on before I upload.

Posted Feb 7, 2013Ok doing some testing currently this is causing major lag in some cases. Here are some /nolagg examines I have done over periods with 10+ on
Plugin: TARDIS Average duration: 0.028 ms/tick Total duration: 333.059 ms/12000 ticks class me.eccentric_nz.TARDIS.listeners.TARDISFireListener
Plugin: TARDIS Average duration: 0.325 ms/tick Total duration: 3901.616 ms/12000 ticks class me.eccentric_nz.TARDIS.listeners.TARDISGravityWellListener
I would love to see this optimized and hope our trials have helped some. I still have the examine files if you need them as well.
I can't wait to see this plugin in it's full potential :)

There is no plugin that cancels explosions, I have creeperheal installed but its only for repairing explosions from creepers only. No explosions are blocked. I'll PM you a the list of plugins installed.

How do you have the plugin setup? Is TARDIS created in own world? List of other plugins installed. Minecraft crash log. Server log. All would help pinpoint the problem.

SpoutPlugin -> put in plugins folder
SpoutCraft -> Should be a .exe file (on windows) or a .jar file (mac/linux). Just double-click it to run it, enter your Minecraft username and password, just like you normally would and go from there

/tardisarea show [name of area]- don't forget the area name, have added a check for the correct number of arguments...Thanks for the server errors page, that'll be useful. Just looking at it - do you have another plugin that cancels explosions? A list of your current server plugins (and versions) might be handy too.

You can also monitor all of the errors in the log at http://thatsnotacreeper.com/server_errors.php
