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 Jan 18, 2014TARDIS 2.7-beta-2 Seems to have a memory leak of some sort. When a user makes a new tardis, or steps in their tardis to load it, additional RAM is allocated. (I'm using TARDIS_TimeVortex). This RAM stays allocated even if the user doesnt stay in their TARDIS, and the chunks unload. I'm not sure why this memory is staying allocated? Or if maybe the chunks are being prevented from unloading? Could you please look into this? As of now, with only 4GB of RAM I can't use this wonderful plugin because it's using up too much ram.

Attach your TARDIS.db file here: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/tardis/tickets/556-advanced-console-circuit-bug/ - make sure you name it with your name, as the OP will be doing the same

Posted Jan 17, 2014Hey, I have a question, regarding circuits. I've made the materialisation circuit, and I put it in the console, and I 'm certain that it was the console, the jukebox. It has the menu that comes up allowing deposition of circuits. I've put the circuit in, and it says the materialisation circuit is missing, though I just put it in. I've tried taking it out, putting it back in, and repeating that. I've tried making a new copy of the circuit, but to no avail. I've even gone so far as to delete and recreate my TARDIS, but it still has the same problem. I'm in dire need of assistance, help me eccentricnz, you are my only hope.

actaully i delt with that too just in case go into craetive and check the redsont circuit if not sometimes there is a glitch where after the room is done it will eventually say turning power on or something this sometimes takes a while and for future prequation dont grow more than one room at once this causes it too happen more often.

Fly outside and check the redstone circuits... the plugin does nothing to prevent redstone from operating it just leaves that up to Minecraft. If the circuit looks like it is intact, then the problem is not TARDIS
@Jemhan
You really need to read the documentation... http://eccentricdevotion.github.io/TARDIS/configuration-prefs.html

Re-read the instructions... you put the circuits in the Advanced Console to enable them, Disk Storage is just for storage.

Yes you can, but ARS will overwrite existing rooms in old TARDISes, so best to stick to manually growing them.
/tardis update [control to add]- use the tab key for autocomplete...@SkyPirateGrey
What are you expecting it to do? Make a ticket.
@Jemhan
Make sure you are running at least TARDIS v2.7-beta-2, and restart the server

Posted Jan 17, 2014I created my TARDIS way back two updates ago, can I still get the Architechual Reconfiguration System, HADS, Sonic, and the Save Disks without removing my current TARDIS (It has a huge custom roller coaster, airlock, etc.) and my saves? Also, whenever I try to travel to nether/end I get a message "the dusty old senators of gallifrey have disabled travel to the..." even though the travel to nether and end are allowed in my config. Help please?

You most likely need to delete recipes.yml and let it regenerate
