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

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 Jul 15, 2013Umm... One of the circuit maps (The green one) has a data tag of 1993 when it must be 1963. Renaming the map file fixes this.
And when I craft the Locator Circuit, it doesn't work in the TARDIS Locator recipe!
Oh, and when I do the debug test of trying to remove an item in the /tardisrecipe locator GUI, nothing appears!
(Info on debug- it's a glitch that when you try to refresh the crafting grid the recipe result will show. it's not obtainable.)

I am not sure if the Rail Room has been completed yet. For more information, you can check out this ticket. I think it is still a work in progress, but I am not 100% on that.

The ARS is currently a work in progress and is not functional at the moment. You still have to use the /tardis room <room type> to build rooms.

Posted Jul 15, 2013May i suggest having block type for tardises changable by ID? like for instance, being able to change the coal block into, say a beacon by changing the ID. that way, if a server owner wants to make tardises more expensive (or less for that matter), they can change it. like have in the config or something
Block ID's:
---Budget: Bigger: Deluxe: eleventh: redstone: steampunk:----or something similar. Since i am not a plugin maker, i dont know how easy/hard this would be. so if i am requesting something next to impossible, please let me know.

Posted Jul 15, 2013Hihi, First let me say, we love this plugin <3. we use it so much on our small server. we absolutely love it it adds quite a huge dynamic to travel in the game.
Our only issues seems to be the same ones BarzhDu is having....
Using the Jenkins dev build as of jul 15....cannot have animals breed or well it seems like they do just no offspring. Horses do not show up in TARDIS...have tried wild, tame, tame with lead, tame with saddle, tame with armor, tame with lead and saddle, tame with lead and armor, armor and saddle, and all three lead, armor, saddle, i am sure i probably did not set something right and would love to knwo a way to get them in. Still the new rooms are pretty and amazing. other than this small animal hang up, we absolutely love using the TARDIS =D.

Posted Jul 15, 2013Seeing as how it is taking more than 2 days to get approved, here is a direct link to the file for those that want it: http://dev.bukkit.org/media/files/718/486/TARDIS.zip
Note to Bukkit Mods: please remove the link after you have approved the file!

Only the player who uses the temporal locator...
Everyone in the TARDIS would need to use it, then exit, to be on the same player time(ish)

You could upload your server folder somewhere so I can download it and see what's up...

Posted Jul 14, 2013It has that kind of data in it, yes.
You may have discovered the reason behind my problems: the console is saying that it could not load WorldGuard. I didn't notice it before. I tried downloading a newer version, but it doesn't change anything. Is there something about WorldGuard I don't know?

Yep, it can be there, but has it got any data in it? Something like:
TARDIS_WORLD_BarshDu:7:22:32Any errors in the console?

Yup, stable field is in the tardis table - object: field, type: text, so it seems fine. Tested it again, and horses are not appearing.

Just did a quick test, and horses going in no problems. Check that your TARDIS database has a location set in the stable field of the tardis table for your TARDIS record

Posted Jul 14, 2013Tried with a tamed horse as well, but it's no different - it disappears but doesn't appear inside the Tardis. It does count towards the farmer achievement, though. Any ideas what I should try next?
