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

So here is an Non-TARDIS question for you. What other plugins do you recommend. Your list or must haves, besides TARDIS and xpkeeper of course.

Delete the end world and let it regenerate? Again not seeing any issues here:

Problem has been resolved, only issue now is the fact that I had to disable travel to the end, because whenever the TARDIS is set to go there, as soon as the destination button is hit, the server freezes, and doesn't return a destination. (I don't know if this is a bug in the code, or if the TARDIS simply can't find a place to land?) Either way it seems to go into a infinate loop before returning a destination, effectively freezing the server.

Error points to having to update your repeaters as well...
EDIT: Just tested updating the button position, and no issues on my test server (same Bukkit/TARDIS setup)

This error seems to be caused by one of the controls not being properly set, or so i believe, after updating all controls back to their original locations the button started working again.

Posted Oct 21, 2013Also, the plugin freezes the server(button sticks and server stops responding) any time a user sets the world repeater to the LAST setting, and then trys to set a destination.
I am using the latest craftbukkit 1.6.4 build. (with the latest build of the plugin)

Trenzalore is the room that isn't working.

I did what you said and I don't see anything happening. I put the block in the same spot you did in the picture and clicked it but nothing happened it just disappeared.

I can wait while I grow other rooms, I am very patient and I have people on my server to chat with.

The picture is of a room, it has an offset of -1.
All you need to worry about is the command, if the schematic says it has an offset of -3 then use that value for the command:
/tardisroom [whatever you call the room] -3The plugin will take care of the rest.
On a side note, I wouldn't really recommend growing the '11ths_first' schematic as a room, unless you don't mind waiting a long time for it to grow...

I saw that but I still don't understand it, so -3 wouldn't even be connected to the TARDIS in the picture?
