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

Daleks spawn using spawners - as such they follow the default Minecraft behaviour, e.g. they only spawn mobs when a player is within a 16 block radius. Perhaps you need to go exploring...

Posted Jul 24, 2016@X00dis Daleks not spawing, I have no idea what that could be. As far as Daleks spawning with Pumpkin heads; I had the same issue, eccenticnz helped me with that. If you go to the Weeping Angles page, you'll see the instructions he gave me, they worked for me

Lol, if you mean players raiding my Tardis for loot, no worries, I don't have an open public server. I just play with friends, but anyone reading this is always welcome to join us for fun Tradis adventures :)

Posted Jul 24, 2016Not sure where to post this whether on the TWA page or here. Anyway I initiated Skaro like the directions said and everything is fine, looks good, but there are 0 daleks. I checked the TWA config and it was updated to have 500 on Skaro. but its creepily empty. I can spawn daleks, but no auto spawn. Also as a side not the Daleks have pumpkins on there heads....

I was forgetting about that option. Not something you would want enable on a public server.

Tested with a fresh server install, planets.yml is present as expected.
Tested with an existing install (after deleting planets.yml) and the file is recreated as expected.

I checked the console but the TARDIS Plugin loaded fine with no errors apart from the map files. And there's still no planets.yml file.

Probably have outdated plugin dependencies and TARDIS isn't actually enabled, check the server log.

MCPatcher has not been updated for 1.10.x, use OptiFine - http://optifine.net/downloads - I recommend using at least the C2 version (as it fixes lava broken in previous version)

Posted Jul 18, 2016Ok, Maybe not directly a TARDIS question, but it does deal with the MCP. On the MCPatcher, the check boxes are grayed out. I have tried running as a admin, put it in the minecraft folder, desktop and download folder.
Any other suggestions?

Posted Jul 18, 2016Ayy, so, I just upgraded to the latest version, but it seems that TARDIS.jar won't work. TARDISChunkGenerator is working fine from what I'm seeing. I've went through and updated all the dependency plugins, and it keeps disabling when I start the server. It's saying that it's disabling because WorldGuard isn't updated, but I just double-checked and it is updated. By the way, I updated from the 1.9 version, so I'm not sure if that affects anything. I haven't wiped like any files, I only updated the .jars, should I wipe anything? How can I fix this?
