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

One of the repeaters on the console is a world repeater, just keep fiddling with it until you find the world you are looking for when you hit the stone button

It's not so much that I'm brave, I just need to run the 2.6 branch since I'm using the 2.0.3 Factions, and i need some of the latest bug fixed you have released, LOL.
I will take a closer look at our structure with MVI then and see if i missed something there.
As far as the deleting goes, I am trying to delete my own TARDIS

That was brave of you, 2.6 is a highly volatile beast right now... Haven't noticed any inventory issues on my test server. TARDIS doesn't control any inventory switching whatsoever, it leaves that to MVI. So only interaction with MVI is to check whether you can farm mobs/horses and minecarts from worlds that don't share inventories, but it doesn't change the player's inventory at all.
Will relook at deleting TARDISes (are you deleting your own, or other players? - if your own, just remove the
tardis.deletepermission temporarily)-

If nothing happens there will usually be an error in the server console, if there is make a paste of it and post a link to the paste

One particularly good one that I know of can be found on thatsnotacreeper.com.
Be sure to read all of the rules (though it should be common sense to read and abide by all of the rules of a multiplayer server anyway).

Posted Aug 11, 2013Hey eccentric,
We just recently updated our entire server with a new structure, and I built the TARDIS jar from the latest v2.6 Git. There still seems to be a problem with deleting the TARDIS, it still says "Don't grief the TARDIS"....
Also, I seem to have stumbled on an issue with leaving the TARDIS and MV Inventories... I enter the TARDIS with one inventory, inside the TARDIS, I have the same inventory (the worlds are shared).... but when i leave the TARDIS again, it switches to another inventory.... very odd.

Posted Aug 11, 2013Another idea: I think that on the plain version of the TARDIS, it would be cool if you could ADD a sign as an option, and have it read as you please. (For example, Type 40 TARDIS)
