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 version
command if possible, otherwise copy from server log - Exact TARDIS version i.e. NOT 'the latest' - use the
/tardis version
command 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

@PiP69
From what I've seen the Tekkit client is a Spout client (it is on a Mac anyway), so you would just have to install the SpoutPlugin on the Tekkit Server to hear sounds... should work, but untested by me!
@eccentricnz
inside the real tardis, its got like circles, so redstone lamps are the closest i could find :P
i was going to make more room so its easier to walk around the sides of the console, but i didn't as you see.
and you know how you had grey wool as the TARDIS Box floor? and the floor inside of the TARDIS, well, i think clay would look better like i did, but its weak..
and i'm just suggesting, but the real tardis is dome like, so maybe make it domey?
@PiP69
Yes that would work as the setting are in the config.
I'm using Tekkit, so I can't get the sounds from Spout. If I were to get the sounds files and put them in my resource folder would that work? Or would extra coding be needed first?
And a question for anyone who knows World Guard: If you make a separate flat world and protect all blocks from being placed/destroyed. Can you have the insides of the Tardis generated there?
@thisusernamestuffismessedup
First pic looks pretty epic, but getting this:
thefoamcrafter's images are not publicly available on imgur
@WilliamReardon
I'm liking the half slabs on the console - why didn't I think of that?!
The lamp blocks inside are a bit full on, I think they need something to break them up a bit, maybe a lighter ceiling or faux columns.
I'm going to add customisable blocks i a future version, so the lamp block on top of the Police Box is a definite possibility, just have to remember to put the extra redstone torch in as well...
Well done though, keep the great ideas coming :)

@WilliamReardon
Sign up for a free DropBox account, then you'll be able to put screenshots in there :)
@eccentricnz
Hey it wont let me send the screen shots, but i have a server, add me on skype? williamreardon1
Then i can tell you when to go on, or i could just send the pics ON skype. And i suck with World Edit ._.
@ewized
Very cool, will be in touch about the MCEdit file at a later date :)
@AndusMcabu
Will look into it...
Hey I made a TARDIS if you want to use it in an update with the different sizes. Its 27x27 so maybe get the ability to save the 4 chunks around it so it can handel bigger sizes. I also made it on my server so if you want to see it for your self also I can get the MCEDIT of it if you want. On the server its next to the spawn and its the orange floating blab. PS: I left a hole at the bottom so you can see the engin.

I moved the TARDIS console room somewhere else, did all the update commands on everything, but when I activate the exterior door, it takes me to the previous location of the console room. Any ideas how to fix this? Also I can't delete the TARDIS to make a new one as it says it is occupied, which it isn't :s
@eccentricnz
Ok thanks for the great plugin anyways! This is beyond anything i could ever hope to do! keep up the good work!
@thisusernamestuffismessedup
Unfortunately at this moment in time it is not possible to make a TARDIS bigger that 11 x 11 blocks using the schematic supplied with the plugin, you could edit the schematic file in the plugins/TARDIS folder - it's just a CSV file with block IDs in it, but some of the data bits are set on the fly during creation as they are direction dependent for example the doors, repeaters, buttons and signs.
Alternate schematics are on the cards for the nearish future (and MCEdit schematics sometime, but not soon :( )
Wish I could be of more help, maybe if I could time travel for real...
Hello! I was wondering, how do i change the schematic file for the tardis? im gonna be doing a Lets Play with this mod. But all i have is an MCEdit schematic file and i have my own custom interior i want to use... help please?
Edit: Also its quite large and i dont feel like recreating it completely in game again Help is MUCH apreciated! Thanks!
@WilliamReardon
Yep, I'm from New Zealand :)
I'm after some ideas for new TARDIS interiors so I can make a bigger and deluxe version (see todo list). Would be interested in seeing your screenshots - either post them here, PM me, or throw them online somewhere so we can all have a look :)
If you could make a WorldEdit schematic of the interior and exterior, that would be easier than sending a whole world...
