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

Posted Aug 31, 2014Dear Jogy34,
First I must say, we absolutely LOVE your plug-ins. Currently I have the Tardis, Tardis-Xern and Weeping Angels plug-ins loaded on my server. When I attempted to do a quick plug in update on the Tardis plug-in I had some issues with finding and getting into my old Tardis.... So I went back to my original settings. I assume, the best thing to do is completely remove Tardis, Tardis-Xern and Weeping Angels and then reload the new updated versions one by one. After I do that, will I be able to import everyone's existing Tardis'? Should we all start over with new ones? I was hoping you could give me a little insight before I begin the upgrade process.
Thank you for all of your hard work and time. SpectralPrisim CraftWho 192.99.18.80:25784

They should become secondary and tertiary consoles in a somewhat limited capacity

Posted Aug 30, 2014In the process of building some rooms on my TARDIS. I have the updated version now (not the beta) and I have a question. Does the Wooden Console and the 4th Doctor's Console work?... I remember when I had the beta version I couldn't seem to get them to work. Do they work or are they just there for show?

Possible problem: wrong version of TARDIS for the version of CraftBukkit you are running, but without further information who knows, check the server log for errors...

Posted Aug 28, 2014I installed the plugin by dragging all files in the plugins folder.
but nothing in the tardis plugin works, I typed in /plugins and the "Tardis Horse Speed" and the "Tardis Chunk Generator" was normal but the plain "TARDIS" plugin was red, I am guessing that means it is broken, I installed it twice though, please help

Posted Aug 27, 2014I NEED help. I've been doing really well with my tardis. I've made most of the circuits and have figured out how to fly it etc. A friend of mine was in my tardis and accidentally broke my door, he was in creative. It was right after i left my tardis. Well he replaced the door and then left. Now I can not get back in. No matter what I do I can't figure out how to get back in. So i decided to delete it and start over. Well it wont let me do that either. It says i can't destroy my tardis when someone is inside. But nobody is inside. I need help to either figure out a way to locate the inside of my tardis in the TARDIS_TimeVortex world or to destroy my tardis and start over. Please someone help me.

The advantage of being a kid, let the parents earn the money, feed you, buy you clothes while you spend your time doing more worthwhile activities such as gaming.

If you are getting the resource packs from GitHub, re-read the installation instructions.

Posted Aug 26, 2014The resource packs won't work? Ive tried the master one, doesn't show up, Only the sound works but I would like the textures too. Last time I tried this, I had the top part of the tardis to say Police Box, but not anymore.
