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/

What's new?
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 Jan 9, 2016Thanks @eccentricnz
That fixed that!!
What could have caused the tips value to change?
Also in the logs I am getting the same error every time the server starts.
Debug: SQLite database add fields error: duplicate column name: lamp0
Added 1 fields to the SQLite database!
The thing is that I have looked through the db and cant find the lamp0 are you able to point me out in the right direction
Thanks

Posted Jan 9, 2016Hi
I just changed my desktop from Master to Bigger
I was placed in the safe area which is all good.
But what happened is that half the masters console disappeared
and the bigger console appeared out at the far distance with 1 enderman inside
the pictures linked show the XYZ for both old and new consoles.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/wzms2o8pxi8csru/AABUtDyvmY3jTDsT9D7uKkJNa?dl=0
I have also included my db and log
Can you please tell me where I can fix this as all new desktops appear at the new location and the safe area is still at the correct original position.
Thanks

When I type /tardisbook
the instructions tell me to type it like this "/tardisbook get [book name]" in game and at http://eccentricdevotion.github.io/TARDIS/books.html
But in game I have to type it like this "/tardisbook [book name] get"
Is this the same for others and should I make a ticket?

Posted Jan 4, 2016Quick question... as a player on a server that uses the fantastic pluggin, I didn't know that when I finally made a farm room i would stop getting animal eggs. I deleted the farm room and now my cows appear where the room was. The server admin and i have been searching for a way to turn off animal spawning and return inventory eggs... i can update the spawn position, but we cant figure out how to remove it. Is there a way?
Thanks, Tom

Posted Jan 2, 2016What do you do if you already destroyed your tardis, but not by the "police box" sign? I have accidentally done that, and everytime I try replacing a seed it says I already have a tardis, but I can't find it.

Check your custom_consoles.yml the permission is probably different/wrong there
And please don't put console errors in the comments - use a paste instead

Yes, I am able to create a custom TARDIS but the users cannot. This is the issue. Mine actually is the custom one, that's how I know it works for me. It's a matter of finding a way for users (though they have tardis.custom permission) to be able to create a seed and build.

Sadly, you are mistaken. Anyone with the TimeLord permission group has access to tardis.custom and it seems the plugin itself will not allow the players to do it.
This only happens with the custom TARDIS console, no other. The normal user ones work fine, it's ONLY the custom one.

Its not the Tardis plugin, you have a problem with your permissions.

Unlikely, I make the resource pack for my own personal use, TARDIS just gets bits and pieces as a bonus...

It's giving an error (during crafting of a custom) [TARDIS] You do not have permission to do this. (something like that)
But the error is for sure coming from the TARDIS plugin.

Nothing has changed with custom TARDISes, so probably, hard to tell from lack of info...
