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

There has already been a suggestion to have the TARDIS occasionally 'malfunction', your idea could tie in with that. Post a feature request on the tickets page!

/tardis update doorHave you read this -> FAQs?

Posted Feb 20, 2013Just a little thought, nothing big, but is it possible to add a feature where the TARDIS goes "wonky" and sends you to the nether? The TARDIS, after all, is meant to be piloted by 6 people. It would be a small chance you would be sent of course, configurable too. Just a little idea, I'm not expecting it to be added, but it was just a thought.

We will be porting this over to the new Minecraft Plugin API when that is released, but no mod at this stage.

Mobs that I have done: cow, creeper, pig, sheep, (scary looking) villagers, zombie and zombie villager. All the items and blocks are up to date and compatible with Minecraft 13w07a. Works best with OptiFine.

Could i possibly convince you to release it as is? And, on a side note, is there anyway to get the tardis to grow faster, or is that just a building limitation from the server?

An unreleased (and unfinished - I still have most of the mobs to do) pack called Bromley Massive Vector. Maybe, now that TARDIS v2.0 is almost done, I will finish it :)

Actually, you could do something like a confusion potion/nether portal effect, combined with a sound effect...

Ok now I get it. I wouldn't think it was possible, perhaps one day the API may allow to do a 'screen shake' type option that many 3d shooters use for an earthquake effect. But it would be great if it that could happen when there was a problem with the Tardis, it could land someone un-expected or even a small chance of a room being jettisoned.

Posted Feb 18, 2013I think what bahey1999 is trying to say is he would like a bit of turbulence during travel. The idea of getting knocked around a bit without taking damage.
I could be wrong, but that's how I read it.
