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

Official documentation & FAQs

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 version command if possible, otherwise copy from server log
Exact TARDIS version i.e. NOT 'the latest' - use the /tardis version command 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

First off, awesome mod. Seriously awesome. Seriously.

You've got a really good grasp on the moving the TARDIS through space, the problem is it's not really traveling in time. I was thinking, would it be possible to leverage multiverse to temp load a world from a backup file then teleport into that? This would literally allow you to travel in space AND time. You'd probably need to add controls for that on the console somehow. Maybe only allow one backup to be loaded at a time, to prevent paradoxes of course.

I've just seen your paste , you have basically negated or removed all the TARDIS permissions for your players...

Change it to:

TLMember: default: false permissions: - -bukkit.command.kill - -tardis.exile - tardis.use - essentials.home - essentials.sethome

And you should be good to go. For future reference any permission node that has two dashes in front of it (like the - -bukkit.command.kill and - -tardis.exile ones above) means: take this permission away from the the player

Think you should perhaps do a bit of reading on how permissions actually work :)

EDIT - also if you want your players to be able to make the different sized TARDIS interiors, or be able to grow rooms they will also need:

- tardis.bigger - tardis.deluxe - tardis.eleventh - tardis.room

Make a new world with Multiverse - something like /mv create normal mycoolworldname
stop/start the server - TARDIS will automatically add the new world to its config file
enter TARDIS
press the random location (stone) button on the TARDIS console - keep pressing it until your new world comes up
release the handbrake to enter the time vortex
engage the handbrake to park the TARDIS
exit to new world
explore

You don't need to open it to post it, just upload the file - perhaps to dropbox (free sign up) - I have an app that will open it

I can, but i'm not sure what program to use to open it. For now I can't open it, because I wasn't sure of a program used to open that type of file. I have a windows 7 desktop so if you know what programs to use for it then i'll certainly post the file.

What permissions plugin are you using? Post the permissions config here. Are permissions working ok for other plugins? Any errors in the server log?

No plans to change the size of the police box, it's in proportion to the player where as 1x1x2 would be rather odd.

Any way you could make it just a 2 tall 1 wide 1 deep tardis instead of the huge tardis it is now? Or any sort of outer appearance customization?

Have just started implementing the 'wall' player preference to set the room wall block (replacing the orange wool default), so shouldn't need worry about blue/orange clashes soon... I think that I will be setting the player preference automatically when the TARDIS is first created based on the seed blocks, so that should take care of it.

It's funny I usually make the default small TARDIS, because it's less distance to walk to the console from the door - bigger is not always better :)

Will set timeout in config.

Didn't even think about spawn protection in TARDIS worlds, obviously need to test more as a non-op player, will see what can be done.

I still haven't figured out why some lamps don't go on, sometimes I think I should just replace them with glowstone... the new Eye of Harmony room is useless, none of them come on except the one in the roof. Have tried setting the levers to off and then powered again but doesn't make any difference. At least I've now got the pool to thaw automatically :)

the walls of the rooms/passages that are grown off of the tardis aooear to match the "delux" orange tardis.. where most of my players have opted in for the "Eleventh" model, the orange rooms and blue core kind of... clash.. painfully.. it would be nice, if it were possible, to determin what blocks to grow the rooms out of based on the original seed blocks for the tardis.. so that the asthetics match.

Also I would reccomend the timeout/command be adjustable, some people, like myself don't always type very quickly.

As a Side note, would it be possible to disable spawn protection for tardis in their own worlds upon creation? I'm getting kinda sick of going into everyone's new Tardis and poking holes for them too build passages. after the initial passages are built they no longer require my help, but yea..

And the lights, a "Low Priority" bug... new rooms, at least on my server, start with some lights not on, it's an easy fix.. just place and remove any redstone component, like a lever or button near the light, but it still bugs me slightly >.>

Again, thank you for your time and consideration of my ideas!

tardis.use should do the trick it contains all the following:

tardis.create tardis.timetravel tardis.list tardis.save tardis.enter tardis.find tardis.add tardis.help tardis.update tardis.rebuild

wat is the permission that allows non-oped players to go into their tardis and travel in it. They can build one and all but they just cant get into their tardis.

Sounds good, reckon it needs a life-form scanner as well so you don't get surprised by a creeper :)
