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

Nope, it's supposed to be that way. Happens to me all the time. I leave my door open, and return to a crazy mob party. Just like on TV, if the Doctor leaves his doors open, all kinds of people would wonder in.

No, I don't restrict any mob spawning in non-TARDIS worlds, so haven't really played around with the MV spawn settings a whole lot.

It's too early to tell, but yes, the Sponge version will be as close as possible to the Bukkit/Spigot/Glowstone version as possible.
We will have to see how things go with so many alternatives in play right now - I don't really want to get stuck doing 3 or 4 different versions (SpongeAPI/BukkitAPI/MincraftAPI/Husk/Forge etc) 1 version takes enough time as it is!

1) sure (EDIT: done http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/tardis/tickets/877-exterior-preset-idea/ )
2) i meant outside and also i meant custom custom, like new rooms, nit rooms from you
3) oh... I was going to add in all consoles as rooms... Oh well. Deluxe and 11 tardises are not coming, but at least war can ;)
4) i meant this in relation to 5
5) so if i had a tardis with orange walls an gray floor, and changed some blocks that used to be wool, if i use the desktop themer, would it erase my custom if i made the walls blue wool?

Posted Oct 19, 2014For 1.8, will you add in a underwater temple chameleon circuit? Oh, and two questions...
1) how many custom rooms can we have (not console and not exterior) and could you please link a tutorial? Oh, and can it be bigger than 1 chunk?
2) how does the desktop themer work? Say i have replaced what used to be orange wool, if i change the walls to another item, will it get rid of it?

The plugin doesn't need to be ported for Spigot, it already works on it just fine (Spigot is just a fancy version of CraftBukkit after all). It will be updated for the 1.8 Spigot build, just as it would have been for CraftBukkit...

PS: Please do not let this amazing plugin die. I really hope that you will find a way around this thing with bukkit and somehow continue work on this amazing server-mod
