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 Mar 23, 2014Dang. I've found a problem. If you exterminate a tardis on a tekkit server, it crashes the server.

Posted Mar 23, 2014Before I do something REALLY bad to my server, how bad would it be to run the latest build on tekkit ( MC 1.6.4? )? If I do it, how likely is the damage going to be?

Posted Mar 22, 2014If you are one of the keen ones updating to CraftBukkit 1.7.5, you will need to update to TARDISHorseSpeed 1.0d for compatibility. Available from the TARDIS Jenkins server linked above.
It will be included in the next TARDIS 2.8 release.

Most things in TARDIS require the appropriate permission, so yes a permissions plugin would be good, and avoids having to make everyone an op.

Going to need a lot more information if I'm going to help... http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/tardis/#w-bugs-requests
@GervaisJohn
Zero room can only be grown using the
/tardis room zerocommand, make sure you have created the TARDIS_Zero_Room world first, the plugin will attempt to do this for you when you enable the zero room with the/tardisadmin zero_room truecommand-

There have been 578 downloads of the beta version with the new changes, and only one complaint (yours), I'll take that to mean that most people don't have a problem with the update...
You also have some Java programming skills, why not just fork the project on GitHub, revert the commit that you don't want and recompile the plugin for your server - stop making such a big deal about it.

The plugin does NOT restrict how many seed blocks you can craft.

The basics of the plugin are unchanged from its inception, you don't need to use any of the new features if you don't want to.
/tardisadmin difficulty easy/tardisadmin use_block_stack trueSet it up how you want it...

I've just added some code -
entity.setRemoveWhenFarAway(false);to the TARDIS mob farming class, will see if it makes any difference.I've also added some debug code to an existing
EntityDeathEventlistener to see whether they are actually falling into the void...I think that they are not being saved when the chunk is unloaded as they should be, but until I test further I won't know.

At least it's not just me. I tried attaching leads to see if that would make a difference but it doesn't seem to. Also tried adding an extra layer of stone blocks beneath the dirt to no avail. I was going to try playing with bedrock tomorrow since sometimes the server treats that differently than normal blocks.
