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 Jul 10, 2013found 2 other annoying bugs. both with lamps. when you use the light switch, it replaces broken lamps, and it doesnt recognize player-placed lamps. Also, you can use 123 as the TARDIS top lamp (redstone lamp off) but not 124 (redstone lamp on). oh, and might i suggest a beacon as a tardis lamp? pwease? :3
P.S. Should i be submitting tickets for all these bugs im finding?

You need the latest build - available from the Jenkins links above, to run TARDIS with Tekkit. You will need to change some of the config options - see http://eccentricdevotion.github.io/TARDIS/tekkit.html.
Just put the plugin in the plugins folder as normal

Woa! This gives me an idea! Hoppers! Hoppers should be able to transfer items between the interior an exterior of the TARDIS when connected to the door! :O
Perhaps the hopper should either put the items in an inventory block adjacent to the door, or spew the items on the ground if there is no inventory to put them in. I don't know if this would be at all useful to anyone in the Minecraft universe, but I just think it would be a neat little "Easter egg" of sorts. Besides, who knows? Maybe some group of creative minds can come together and be able to do something with such a feature! ;)

Posted Jul 9, 2013I just woke up from a dream. In my dream I was in Minecraft with my TARDIS. I had gypsies as companions, the TARDIS was on a train going down mine/traintracks. I used the ARS (yes, the chest GUI in my dream) to connected my "trash room" (a room full of vaults with banana peels on the floor and other generic trash decor) to the front of the TARDIS, then I connected a hopper to the exterior TARDIS interior so when the hidden party gypsy appeared we could throw the trash away).
There were also monkeys, clowns, Matt Smith, Karen Gillian, hidden party gypsy, Jenna Lousie-Coleman, Steven Moffat, Tom Baker, multiple TARDIS interiors based on the key I was using (one of which was a refrigerator), Will Ferrell, Sontarans, trains, Billie Piper, and circles.
Really, it was more like 3 or 4 dreams some how interconnected because of the TARDIS. Possibly caused by watching Doctor Who while falling asleep or maybe caused by some Psychic Pollon when I had explored on Karass Don Slava late next week.
Well, still quite incoherent, I head back to sleep.
