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

Hey dude, i found a website called mymemory.translated.net, it does translations for you. So instead of TRYING to figure it out, set the translations and copy/paste the comment, or if you are partly french, don't attend to this site.
(PS: This is for when he decides to make the comment in french btw, as you could tell.)

So just what are looking at here? Looks a bit hard to access the console... And is the Artron Creeper on fire?

What I think you're saying is:
Can you add a command to make the TARDIS enter the Time Vortex
Perhaps try again 'en Français'? And I'll do my best to translate ;)

If you still want to be able to grow rooms, the world name must be TARDIS_TimeVortex and the world generator must be TARDISChunkGenerator

Posted May 11, 2013My apologies is its been answered before but is there any way to set it so every tardis is within one multiverse world? Each one added seems to make another world with Multiverse which I'm guessing would be pretty server intensive! Fantastic plugin I love it.

The first snapshot looks like the paradox machine the Master turned the Tardis into.

Posted May 10, 2013I lost my TARDIS. I had a glitch which deleted the blocks. I tried teleporting it to me, but i had no energy, i tried making a new one, but i couldnt caus i already had 1. i tried deleting my tardis world and that didnt work. i tried using /tardisadmin delete, but it couldnt find tardis. I tried taking out and putting tardis plugin back in, that was useless. i tried warping to tardis world, it was blank. I tried using /tardisadmin enter, there was an internal error. Someone help!

Players shouldn't be using
/tardisadmin delete...The plugin already supports MultiWorld...
And finally you most probably have some other issue going on here, as there have been no other reports of time outs / errors when removing TARDISes when using Multiverse. Please start a ticket with the console log, your config and TARDIS.db attached...

If you have admin permissions (or op), you can use:
/tardisadmin enter [player]Change [player] to your Minecraft username
Once inside, condense some items in the Artron condenser chest, or click the Artron button with a Netherstar

My first attempt was to send screenshots, bukkit made them so small that you couldn't see anything, so I deleted the comment and tried again.
Shall I pm you the snapshots links?
