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 gives the server owner more choice how the plugin is setup. At the moment I prefer to have the 'comehere' command. Maybe I'll change that in the future how it works on my server.

Perhaps you could make your suggestion more interesting as I find your lack of actual ideas quite dull and pointless.

I could take that as being quite offensive if I chose to... what if it is my favourite design? What if it was designed by someone else?
There are 4 other console designs that you can use as an ARS TARDIS - chose one of those.

Posted Nov 11, 2013Could you possibly make the ARS TARDIS a little more intresting? It's quite dull as of the moment.

Not yet, but it could be in the future - and it would need to be 16x16x16 (not smaller)

Thank you :) Is the Custom console ARS compatible if you make it smaller to or equal to 16x16x16?

While you're listing info, could you tell which seed block results in which console room, including which are compatible with ARS?

Some basic and slightly outdated info here: http://eccentricdevotion.github.io/TARDIS/schematics.html
The following is a list of special blocks which get remembered and converted into the appropriate TARDIS items:

Have turned it into a ticket (otherwise I'll forget or it will get lost) - http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/tardis/tickets/425-gravity-well-jettisoning/
Please add more information to the ticket, so I'm not trying to work blind...

Posted Nov 9, 2013Not sure if this is worthy of a ticket: Whenever I jettison a gravity or antigravity well, am I supposed to target a specific half of it? Because I keep getting a phantom room, where the room is gone, the GUI tells me the the room is still there, won't let me build (Must jettison the room first!) and won't let me try to jettison it again (returning simply "[TARDIS] null").

Not sure I understand what you mean, the repeaters are for setting a random destination, it is not meant to be precise.
Your bug report does not have enough information for me to do anything (and doesn't make much sense either) please follow the guidelines for bug reporting here: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/tardis/#w-bugs-requests

Posted Nov 9, 2013Hi here to mention a few ideas of mine and a bug I have Idea traveling: it is very hard to travel with the console but if you make it so that every delay on a repeter is 2 eg x20 y20z20 flip through the delays on x so its back to 1 x28 y20 z20
Bug:when a try and set a rest by clicking the button it does not say the dest or set it
