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
The documentation is here: https://tardis.pages.dev/

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

I was able to build 1.9 Spigot when I first heard about it, then suddenly it started erroring out on me when I would try to compile it again. I'm not too sure why it doesn't compile properly now.
Maybe it's because I have Java 9 installed and not 8?

I build Spigot daily using BuildTools as there are changes coming through all the time. I don't always update the link from the Index File page, so it's best to build the JARs yourself. TARDIS was updated last night (UK time).
@Mr_Sonic
Check the server log for errors, make sure you have a new build of Spigot, a 1.9 build of TARDIS (link is in the comments) and that other dependent plugins are updated as well e.g. WorldGuard. If it still isn't working after all that, submit a ticket.

Posted Mar 11, 2016I updated to 1.9 and all my users can't enter their TARDIS, and it's also saying they aren't a timelord. However, their interiors still exist. How can I fix this issue?

Sure thing. I'm going to do a fresh one with my permissions plugin and ONLY multiverse and TARDIS plugins. That way I can give a clean log. Please stand by.

Posted Mar 11, 2016Hi. I remember reading some where before that you can disable tardiest from going to certain multiverse worlds. Is it possible this feature still exists? The review i watched on it didnt say how to do it and i cant find it on the wiki.

Posted Mar 11, 2016Latest Multiverse-Core keeps tarding out on me at server start, much less when trying to make a tardis. Doors won't build on TARDIS, still have the "lamp during materialization, torch when done" situation. I must have MV configured wrong though, the errors it spits out...

The error is actually caused by the Hoth World Generator plugin, all TARDIS is trying to do is load the chunk:
Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: ICE_PLAINS at biz.orgin.minecraft.hothgenerator.WorldGenerator.generateExtBlockSectionsTatooine(WorldGenerator.java :443) ~[?:?]You probably need to update it.

That would make sense. Someone though keeps logging in and the TARDIS module keeps breaking with the same error as below about the ICE_PLAINS. I reset the user file, and thus last location, for the 4 who logged in when it happened and hopefully it'll clear something.

I imagine that's because there is no ICE_PLAINS anymore, it's been changed to ICE_FLATS, fix (hopefully) uploaded
@roracle
1.9 is latest Spigot (I use BuildTools daily), and is fine to use. Multiverse-Core 2.5-b717 works for me (was also getting error previously). TARDIS VM has been updated, mine is working fine...

That's the one I have. Something is afoot, I'm sure I can figure this out. BTW: 1.9 is the latest Spigot right? Or should I be using Bukkit?
