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

Sure, have been thinking we need to use the emerald block for one more variation, will have to run it by ewized though as he is the master of TARDIS interiors :)

Posted Jan 27, 2013Also, I made a TARDIS console like the new 2013 one. Maybe it can be made with an emerald block? Should I upload it? (It is a ton better than the workshop and the backup consoles I sent you.)

Just zip up the whole world folder, and put it in DropBox. Then let me know the co-ordinates of your build...
OR use WorldEdit to make a schematic

Actually, I'm not 100% sure this is the issue, but room growing has never failed while I'm in the TARDIS, but occasionally has if I've left...
Maybe need to keep the chunk loaded while room growing is in progress...

Oh, I have to stay inside the TARDIS while the room grows? I didn't have a problem with that before, so I thought it was okay to leave while it grows.

Not sure how to get around the unlit lamps, The lever powering them is in the 'on' position (because if you toggle them off and on again they work fine) I usually pop a redstone torch next to them and then break straight away and they stay on...
Yes, please send maps/ideas for other rooms :)
@Firefoxies
Are you leaving the TARDIS world while the room is growing?

Posted Jan 27, 2013I hate to spam this page up, but I thought it would be a good idea to add a workshop and maybe a second console room. (You can update the buttons and repeaters if you want to use it.) Could I make a map and send you design ideas?

Scratch the part about the handbrake, it seems it was just solved. My empty room still has blocks missing, however.

Posted Jan 27, 2013I am guessing you knew this but in the 3.0 beta, some glowstone is not lit when a room is finished.

Yeah, I had that problem before. You have to left click.

Posted Jan 27, 2013Beta 3B works well, except the bug where I can't turn the handbrake back on still persists. Also, when I make an empty room, it turns out...unfinished. There are blocks missing in one row of the room and it doesn't get fixed because the room thinks it's finished.

I was rightclicking ( mainly due to me being in creative mode ). Let me try left clicking. Ill get back to you.
Edit: Yep, Im an idiot yet again. Engaging handbrake with left click works! Thanks!
