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 8, 2014Hello again eccentric_nz i managed to make a sonic screwdriver it is just a stick now (i read your answer features are added in v2.7) well im glad to say your custom sounds in the resourcepack work like a charm for /playsound in some own build systems in the tardis of me there's just one thing tough why are the door sounds not replaced by the police box sound in the resourcepack? (can't change it i use server texures directly from the curse website)

You can bind the commands to levers and signs as well, not just buttons...

Well, I see interesting the invisibility toggle because it occupies less space than two buttons and I can place it anywhere, and the buttons are only placeable in the vertical side of a block.

Posted Jan 8, 2014Hello again, I have a question about one point of the todo list... what will do TARDIS invisiblity? what will be the difference from the current tardis hide command?
Another thing, will you add a tardis hide/rebuild toggle? a toggle that when is turned on, it would be the same that /tardis hide, and when is turned off, the same as /tardis rebuild.

Nice, thanks! but I have discovered that this command freezes the server if it is used in a flat world...
Can you check it?

TARDIS v2.7 build #542 adds the (optional) ability to allow the setting of the TARDIS WorldGuard regions build flag -
/tardisprefs build [on|off]Configurable option (true by default):
Untested, cause it's after midnight and I need to go to bed, but it should work...

Did you do all the steps in the last post?
Are you manually growing the room or using ARS?
If ARS, read this: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/tardis/tickets/463-tardis-room-growing-inside-interior-of-tardis/

Thank you for having answered me so fast! : D I did as you told me but my concern is always the chamber is formed inside the tardis and not outside the tardis.
Here is a screenshot of the problem;) => http://hpics.li/aef4c37

Hello tufurax from Belgium :)
Things have changed quite a lot with the update to TARDIS v2.6, especially the way that you grow rooms
And always a good idea to search the comments and tickets to find an answer before posting, as this has been answered a number of times before...
