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 May 27, 2013Thanks for your help earlier. Now I got another problem. I have a player whose tardis is on a planet that no longer exists via multiverse plugin. I made a backup of his tardis directory and attempted to delete the tardis with the intention of reinstalling his tardis, only I cant delete it. Might have screwed something up somewhere. How can I fix this?

Most TARDIS permissions default to OP, so to only allow OPs to build a TARDIS, don't give any one else permission...

Posted May 27, 2013Is there a possibility that only normal OPs (Ops without a Plugin (/op player) ) are allowed to build a tardis? Maybe a short order like /tardisadmin only op?
ps: the best and most useful plugin i´ve ever seen (and that are 906 years)

It does sound like you server is struggling to keep up. Try lowering the
timeoutvalue in the config to1The world-repeater on the 4th-tick setting tries to go to an End world, I noticed someone else commented that there server didn't have enough grunt/ram to load the end - can you travel to the end without using the TARDIS?

Ok I went in to try to duplicate the error myself. I don't play Minecraft so excuse my lack of understanding/info since I am passing on what others tell me. This time however I used my son's account and was able to duplicate what others were telling me and here is what I noticed...
The world selection repeater in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd setting were fine (X,Y,Z selection doesn't matter). When the world selection repeater is in 4th setting allowing travel to different worlds is where it would start to crash. The message would pop up about the coordinates almost immediately after hitting the button. There would be a slight delay sometimes in the message before this would pop up:
"Could not find a suitable location within the current settings, the area may be protected."
No problems as long as the repeaters position X,Y,Z all in 1st setting. When I started moving the X, Y, Z to 2nd or 3rd I would get cororfdinates or that previous message on occasion, but then there would be a longer pause (say 10 seconds instead of 5) before I would be disconnected, then I see this error in the Minecraft screen:
"Connection Lost Internal exception:java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out"
I would not see anything in the console, but it would be frozen and not accept any commands at that point. I do however should point out when I get the message in game "Could not find a suitable location within the current settings, the area may be protected." on occasion my console would display this message. "[WARNING] Can't keep up! Did the system time change, or is the server overloaded?" but not every time.
Is it possible my pc does not have the memory capacity to process what is going on? I have 4GB ram installed running 64bit pc with 1.8 GHz Celeron processor.

Addon for Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/sqlite-manager/
Most probably in the blocks or doors table, you'll be looking for entries that don't have a corresponding tardis_id entry in the tardis table

Posted May 25, 2013Is there a way to look inside the file and find the error? The error is caused by Explosions.
