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 24, 2014i have 2 ideas.
1) if you stand at the coords of the interior when the tardis is materializing around you, you get warped inside when it finishes.
2) there is a 0.002% chance that you can materialize inside the TARDIS during a malfuntion

Its a known bug, not with the plugin but with people not reading the instructions. This is not a plugin you just toss in the plugin folder and expect it to work.

Start by reading the instructions: http://eccentricdevotion.github.io/TARDIS/enter-and-exit.html
@AstralConflux
All recipes work, some server operators don't... what is the 'latest' update? What recipes don't work? http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/tardis/#w-bugs-requests
@meganmoore60
It plainly states in the documentation (and the video) that you need to click the seed block with the TARDIS key, is your TARDIS Key a stick? Reading is a gift, use it well...

Sounds like its worth thinking about the details for sure. Why not ask others on your server for some suggestions, the create a ticket like the example eccentric has linked for you. Just wondering what happens when the time for emergency program one is supposed to occur and there is no one is in the Tardis? As the chunks may be unloaded in that area ie the Tardis wont leave.

I think new features never get added unless there is a comprehensive ticket... something like this one is the level of info that we are after...

Posted Aug 23, 2014@markdf It could be different slightly you could set a time eg 5mins and when the time has expired the tardis gos to the selected destination the purpose of this would be to keep the tardis out of the wrong hands (role play) what do you think

I think its the beginning of a possibly good idea, needs more detail, how it effects the game play etc. Still seems a bit vague though at the moment.

Posted Aug 23, 2014Say you were on a role play server and there was danger and you and your companion were in danger you could type a command that sets a time and once it has expired the tardis returns to a selected destination eg the weaping angels were attacking so you send your companion to the tardis to keep them safe and the tardis takes them home or it could be like in the parting of the ways were the doctor sends rose home by sonicing the tardis so what do you think of it

Posted Aug 22, 2014@eccentricnz you're right. I didn't even notice their was a new version. I'm going to update now. Does this mean I'm going to have to delete my current Tardis then make a new one?... or is the update going to remove that custom console room?
