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

The last Spigot build I actually tested (1.6.2 b1083) didn't need to be built without the chunk patch, and the usual holes when building a TARDIS didn't occur. Have you actually tested whether it needs to be a special build?

Check your Multiworld / Multiverse settings you might need to set animal spawning to true for the TARDIS world(s)

Posted Oct 10, 2013I know that somehow I have missed something, so I have come to the experts.
Animals do not breed in the TARDIS. No matter what food they are fed nor what kind of baby makin music is playing. Worldgaurd has been set to allow spawning, and spawning is enabled in the TARDIS plugin. I can mob farm fine. As a side note spawn eggs do not work either.
So please tell me where I have messed up so the animals can do it like they do on the discovery channel.

Posted Oct 9, 2013I just wanted to say, this is one of the best plugins I've ever used. Every time I try to play a Steam game, I always end up on Minecraft running around my TARDIS instead. Great Job!

You change them to whatever you like once they're grown...
I'm still undecided on whether I will even put automatic doors in the room schematics - in my gaming ineptitude I often find myself too slow to get through the current 2.6-beta doors and get shunted to the roof of the passage on the outside of the TARDIS :(

Posted Oct 7, 2013Will it be possible to change the door types in the TARDIS?
I think this would be pretty cool, especially if it opens via player detections. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLfieEOANSA

TARDIS seed blocks can be crafted as follows, bear in mind that this is still a WIP, so things may change in the final release...
If the above is a 3x3 crafting grid, then:
You then need to click the crafting output slot to generate the seed. The number of different combinations is 30,000+
Right-click a placed seed block with the TARDIS key to start growing...

I'm guessing you edited the TARDIS config and reloaded - don't. Use the admin command:
/tardisadmin name_tardis true-

It already is compatible with Multiworld (and My Worlds)
Though I fail to see how using one multi-world plugin over another uses less resources...
