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

For me, I usually paste the worldedit schematic included with the player submitted schematic, then create the tardis schematic using the bone and commands.

This site doesn't let me set the version any higher than 1.8.1... ALWAYS use the latest CraftBukkit/Spigot build (built yourself using BuildTools.jar or downloaded from the TARDIS Index File page)

Posted Jul 13, 2015Had a pretty awesome HP Themed idea much like the Tardis!
The Room of Requirement: Basically, a magic wall that when you walk to it and tap the wall *or cast a spell much like Apparecium, it will open. Leading to possibly five different outcomes. Maybe a dueling room, a junk room, a library etc all created and saved as schematics. This seems easy but I am no expert, if only there were a way to make command blocks make random choices from a select few schematics or locations.

I thought you instructed me to move a couple map_196(x).dat files somewhere before. I forget where these belong.

WorldEdit, load schematic, paste it in, then create TARDIS JSON schematic using wand and
/tardisschematiccommand. Then you can use/tardisroom add nameNothing has changed with sonic crafting/upgrading, so there is something wrong at your end...

Posted Jul 12, 2015In addition to the screwdriver, all of the schematics on the website for TARDIS schematics are still in .schematic so when I attempt to use the "/tardisroom add name" command, I get "[TARDIS] null" as a response. If I change the schematic to TSCHM, I get "Room addition failed, probably because the file was not a TARDIS JSON schematic." I have no idea how to convert these files and make this work.

Posted Jul 11, 2015For some reason I cannot upgrade sonic screwdrivers. I know I have the permissions, but maybe I don't have the files in the right location?
