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 Feb 18, 2013Idea: Players take 0 damage at travelling. Because they will be like shotted by a snowball so no damage but bobbing. TARDIS travellings will be better and joyful. Sorry for bad English :'(

Duh, brain like a sieve... I had actually changed the gravity well, and had also added a command to update the old style gravity wells to the new one. You could have just run the command
/tardis gravityand it would have updated the your existing wells...Mind you, we both could have read the change log, it was there under v2.0-beta-7!

Decided not to add that one, you can delete it from the config

Posted Feb 17, 2013I was going to change some config values in 2.0 PRE-B, when I noticed a new room that wasn't in the changelog, labeled FIRST. I'm assuming that's a future secondary console for the 1st Doctor, right? I can't grow it because it says it doesn't exist when I try.

Wall blocks will never be Iron Blocks as these could be harvested too easily and upset server economies, you'll just have to go with what you have right now...
I'm not having any issues with the eleventh TARDIS growing walls with any block I choose, either by changing the creation block stack or setting the wall preference in game.

Posted Feb 17, 2013Hi um, i started a new world in my LAN server and the TARDIS is still in the world with different coordinates and when i do /tardis rebuild it comes back but whenever i enter it it just brings me underground and when i try removing it (break the sign and typing /tardis exterminate) it says "TARDIS is already occupied" something like that, is their any way to remove it and to bring the interior back?

1. I would really appreciate if you add Iron Block to the possible wall types, I personally think it looks awesome. 2. The wall does not change correctly when the preference is set. I tried it with an original TARDIS, one made with a diamond block, and it worked fine. But it does not work for the new Eleventh TARDIS with the emerald block. When using the Eleventh TARDIS, no matter what you do, the walls are made of orange wool. I've seen others with this issue in the comments, I swear we're not doing anything wrong. I really doesn't work as shown in your video, and I would be willing to make my own video proving it if you are unable to replicate it yourself.
