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

That's why you can have custom room schematics and a custom console schematic...
Or just download an older version of the plugin, and replace the current room schematics with the old ones...

Posted Nov 18, 2013In future builds of the plugin will there be anyway to fully customize tardi again because it was better when you didn't need the plate it will be good if you can do something like /tardisprefs newdoors because that will revive the custom ability that the plugin once had
@eccentricnz
With the new doors I have found that you can only grow rooms in certain places this is bad for people that want to make there console room bigger than the set console for that seed block if that makes sense

I'm not really understanding what the new doors have to do with not being able to fully customise your TARDIS. There were wood doors before, now there are piston doors, but they're still just doors...

If a FLINT has the correct name and lore, it will work exactly as if you crafted it.

They have some special attributes - wings either up or down, and the head faces a random direction

You only need to ask once, not everyone is in the same time zone as yourself.
You need to create a Tardis seed block, read this; http:eccentricdevotion.github.io/TARDIS/change-log.html

Glad you like it :) You're right, a lot of effort does go in to it, but the really cool features are only there because of the ideas and help I get from the people who use it.

Posted Nov 15, 2013nothing related to anything in particular, but i have to say that this plugin is amazing! the amount of work that has been put into it, taking into account details, like the emergency npc, the growing of rooms... is just brilliant. thanks for the hard work making this plugin possible.
i actually downloaded this plugin some time ago, and i was very good at that time too, but i lacked some options like the thing that makes the tardis in its own world to make it easier to espand it, and now there are options to directly grown rooms intead of having to make them by hand from nothing.
like i say, great plugin, the work that has been put in this is beyond belief, so thanks a lot for making this possible.
