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
The documentation is here: https://tardis.pages.dev/
Tutorial videos for version 2+ (also included in the official docs)
Not all of these are up-to-date...

- Creating a TARDIS - a bit old now, check the official docs for instructions
- Growing rooms and the Gravity well and changing Walls

What's new?
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 was an error with all TARDI on my server, at least all ones generated by the older version of the plugin, on wiping the db file, the plugin works as expected.

That's not how a Jenkins server works (you don't upload files - the Jenkins server builds them), there is only a pom because the build failed - hence the big red icon next to the build number...

The error points to the TARDIS world not being loaded, or the door location being null, most probably the former

Posted Oct 12, 2013I saw this and immediately thought "I am closer to having a real TARDIS". There is an Oculus Rift mod for Minecraft, which lets you move around in Minecraft like you are IN Minecraft. I would love to walk around my TARDIS while wearing this.

Posted Oct 12, 2013Went back to regular CraftBukkit.
When a button is pushed (whether its the scan button, energy, or destination), it causes the server to freeze for a minute.

Traveling is still included in this bug, but it affects more than traveling.

Posted Oct 11, 2013@eccentricnz We decided to just start over from the beginning. So we are running 2.5.8, but when people travel, we get this error:

You should still be able to run 2.5.8, but players may need to do a
/tardis comehereto update the database with the current Police Box locations (and you may get some duplicates, as the db has changed a bit).-

TARDIS overrides the WorldGuard setting when mob farming...
There is a link on this page to the latest v2.6-beta build that you can use for testing (it's still in a pretty raw state)

OK i figured it out (with your help of course) 1.) The mv was indeed set to false 2.) worldguard somehow reverted back to deny. Which surprised me because I could still mob farm.
Works fine now. Now if I could find out where the beta is hiding at......

I've got another problem. When generating rooms in my TARDIS, they do not build completely. This is only with rooms, the actual TARDIS builds in full.
This happens on both Bukkit and Spigot.
Using latest beta 2.6. Don't know if I should switch to the latest stable, but I tried it once last night and it did not load any of the TARDISes.

Confirmed - latest Spigot build (1.6.4 #1128) and TARDIS 2.5.8 creates TARDISes without holes in them :)
