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

Posted Sep 12, 2013I found the problem. I updated the server and the plugin at the same time and it didn´t work. Now I updated the server first and after that the plugin and it works fine. I said something about map files, because, if I update the plugin (not the server, I mean the plugin) I get everytime the error: Could not find TARDIS map files, some recipes will not work!
I can play and enter the Tardis and the rooms work, but I don´t know why I get this error. ps: thanks for the quick answer. :-)

What do you mean the server can't find the TARDIS map files? Map files have nothing to do with TARDIS worlds.
I update the TARDIS plugin on my test server all the time (sometimes 20 times in one day) when I'm writing and testing code. It really sounds like you are doing / have done something strange...

Posted Sep 12, 2013I updated my server with all plugins and the server knows who have a Tardis and where they are. The problem ist that player can´t enter the tardis, because the server can´t find the tardis map files, but they are at the same position as last time we played. (I tested the name building a new Tardis and the name of the old and the new is the same) What have I to do? I tried to build a new one and import the old files, but then the rooms don´t work (the jumper and the eye of harmony ect.). You said I only have to update the plugin.

They're used to craft the Stattenheim remote when difficulty is set to hard. To make a Stattenheim Circuit (S-Circuit), you need a Locator Circuit and a Materialisation Circuit (M-Circuit).

Posted Sep 11, 2013OK I got the recipes to work, Thanks again for the help!. now my next question. I know that the L-Circuit is for the Locator. What is the M-Circuit and the S-Circuit for. I looked in the guide but didn't see anything about any of them.

Posted Sep 11, 2013The recommended build of 1.6.2 is out, so I want to update my server and all plugins. Is there an easy way to update your plugin that each player can keep his old one? I have the old Tardis-Worlds, but if I build the player a new one and import the old worlds, the plugin wouldn´t realize that there are already some rooms and I fear that rooms like the farm or the eye of harmony wouldn´t work. Is there a possibility?

You can't be removed as a companion from your own TARDIS, as you were never one in the first place. Check the server log for errors when you click the door...

Posted Sep 10, 2013@skullboneslayer Is your name on the outside of the Tardis, if name_tardis: true? If its false there are no names on the tardis and you may be trying to get into someone else's.

Yes I know that already, but it still doesn't change the fact that you can still only replace existing sounds, not add new ones...
