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
Official documentation & FAQs

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

'newest' is equivalent to 'latest'....
Yes the way you create TARDISes has changed, you now craft a TARDIS seed block, then place and click that with your TARDIS key.
Details here: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/tardis/tickets/405-problem-creating-a-tardis/?comment=3
You can also revert to using the old block stack creation procedure by editing the config option:
use_block_stack- set it to trueCouple of images to explain the process (thanks to Lord_Rahl @ mcnovus.net):

The TimeVortex world is not a world you can travel to, it is the world where all TARDISes are created in, instead of the
create_worldsoption where TARDIS are created in their own world.@Dogrules23
Break the Police Box sign.

Posted Oct 27, 2013TimeGear: I found the easier way to user your Tardis is to travel to your destination by other means, use the Statenheim Remote to call your tardis, and then save the location to the Tardis. That's how I initially set up most of my destinations, but I also have a network of Stargates linking the many worlds (maps) on my server.

Posted Oct 27, 2013Ok so I got the map files for the recipes to work. Now I looked at the github site and saw the time vortex world page and I decided to create it. I suck at piloting so how do I get there in the tardis?

Just read the instructions, if you cant be bothered then why should we waste our time explaining it to you. If however you read the instructions, and dont understand them, then you are more likely to get some help when you ask.

I'm not sure what you are asking here, there are currently 10 different TARDIS types... use a different block on the bottom of the TARDIS creation stack.

You can't change to a new interior without deleting your current TARDIS first. You can grow rooms to extend the TARDIS though. TARDIS types are here: http://eccentricdevotion.github.io/TARDIS/interiors.html
