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

It shouldn't prevent you from loading a save from a save sign even on Hard difficulty. We took care of that by requiring players to use save disks to create a save in the first place. The reason we probably want existing saves to still function is for the automatic Home destination, and any other automatic destinations you may want to add directly to the save sign in the future.
That said, after a server reboot the re-arranging seems to function properly now. No idea what caused that before but I'll make a ticket with more detail if I can get it to happen again.
Edit: Figured it out. If you click the re-arrange flower twice then exit the sign and re-enter, you will be still be allowed to move things around until you exit one more time. It seems it adds an extra re-arrange session each time you click the flower. I must have clicked it a couple times before thinking it would act like a "save" button.

Are you sure? When I close and re-open the save-sign GUI, clicking a save loads it as normal.
EDIT: What doesn't seem to be working, is the difficulty hard, not stopping me from loading the save...

Posted Mar 6, 2014Using build #664, once you re-arrange saves in the save sign there doesn't seem to be a way to lock them in. When you exit and re-open the save sign, re-arrange mode still seems to be enabled. Am I missing something embarrassingly obvious?

Posted Mar 6, 2014TARDIS v2.8-beta-1 has been uploaded and is awaiting Bukkit approval - they seem to be VERY slow these days, so you may want to visit the TARDIS Jenkins server for a download link (the file uploaded to Bukkit is identical to build #664) - I am required to say: This build has not been approved by the BukkitDev staff. Use it at your own risk. Link to Jenkins is above...

Posted Mar 4, 2014So, what are the odds we could wear you down into making some sort of companion Forge mod for this plugin for us poor MCPC+ users? You've already done far more with the Bukkit API and vanilla Minecraft mechanics than I would have ever thought possible, it would only get better with an [optional] add-on to take advantage of the modded side of things.
That, and the fact that Spoutcraft is coming back as SpoutcraftMod and you would get a chance to take optional advantage of it again. http://spoutcraft.org/threads/spoutcraftmod-frequently-asked-questions.8372/

It does work, as evidenced by the many servers running it successfully.
What you forgot to do was read the instructions: http://eccentricdevotion.github.io/TARDIS/creating-a-tardis.html
