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.

That's not what it says at all. TARDIS is compatible with MVI, TARDIS just won't hide the enchantment lore on Sonics and Artron cells if MVI is enabled... all other MVI functions will work as expected.
It is not just TARDIS that MVI will need to update for, this is a CraftBukkit/Spigot change that any plugin dealing with serialising inventories to JSON format will need to deal with.
When MVI updates, I'll remove the restriction from TARDIS that makes sure that MVI doesn't break.

Not possible, OptiFine does not include Custom Item Textures (CIT).
You can run OptiFine with MCPatcher if you use the OptiFine Light version (though it would seem it is not updated for 1.8)

As I said - the custom texture for the locator (applied by MCPatcher) is broken - remove the texture file and it will act like a normal compass and point to the TARDIS...

The actual compass works just fine. It's just the locator that's broken.

It would seem that the compass animation is broken in MCPatcher 5/Minecraft 1.8, but I have not found out how to fix it... If you find a solution, let me know!

Posted Feb 18, 2015For some reason my locator isn't pointing to my TARDIS. It's just spinning like a compass in the nether.

Charger setup has not changed.
You need to time travel to a recharger, then exit the TARDIS to initiate the recharge cycle. The TARDIS will also not charge if it is already at full capacity.

Posted Feb 16, 2015Hello eccentricnz,
Sorry to bother you. For some odd reason i cannot seem to setup a recharger. I have been trying for hours using the website etc. Is it still looking at a beacon and use the command /tardisadmin recharger name? I tried it the way the video showed, tried it with the help of the website. Even tried starting a complete fresh server and nothing will work.
Also created an area as showed in video and the new area commands part of the site. Not sure where i'm going wrong here? On the config file it shows the recharger correct. Worldguard also made a region. Permissions are also correct and working. But when standing next to the beacon, nothing happens.
Config file is pretty much default as in lightning enabled and distance 20.
Any tips? Or what info do you need from me for this? Could it be a worldguard issue? (had not played MC since 1.7. But i don't see any changes to the recharger system unless i'm blind lol)
Kind Regards,
Levi
