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
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
Idea: you should have a command for deleting or replacing your tardis interior. Because as it is, I didn't know about the option to create a tardis world, and now the inside of my tardis is right where I want to put my garden, and too close to my house for me to build onto it. Maybe I'm just missing something, but if so, please tell me.
@Cam582
Check the config.yml file in the plugins/TARDIS folder, make sure that there is an entry for:
key: REDSTONE_TORCH_ON
It says that the tardis key is a null. ??? Plz fix
@Lyhome
I can click on any part of the door to get into the TARDIS...
Also, am aware of the snow issue i.e. floating above the snow when it lands, should be fixed in the next version.
Can someone post a link to the plugin's folder because it won't let me download it here (Dropbox maybe)
The Tardis is unable to land on snow.
You can only get into the Tardis if you click the bottom half of the door, this is extremely annoying. Please make it so you can use the full door.
+++++++++++++=================================================================== please come out with the deluxe and bigger iron block (top thing on your to do list) I NEED ITT NOW (i love the person that came up with that idea (maybe you))
+++++++++++++++
@WilliamReardon
I've tried to get this it just says could no find the page you were looking for
can we possibly have a command which hides the police box please, some thing like /tardis hide, where it would hide every part?
Would it be possible for you to update what the TARDIS interior looks like? I'd love it to look like the new TARDIS interior thats in the new seasons. Or, could you make it possible to let players make their own custom TARDIS blueprints from maybe a schematic file, and drop the file into the TARDIS folder, and maybe when they make the TARDIS, they have to select the interior type they want based on the schematic name? I'd love to be able to select what my TARDIS interior would look like.
@eccentricnz
Alright will do, thanks for the advice. I'll be watching for updates!
Hey can you make it so it dont say you havent created a tardis yet or only say that at tardis known locations.
@eccentricnz
i've changed it a bit? and you can see where i put the essential stuff :P|

CAN U GIVE ME A TARDIS FOLDER please I can't travel And I can't figure it out it is problebly easy but me stupid :((( I NEED THE TARDIS.
@AndusMcabu
This is because, the plugin was originally coded without any update capabilities, and doesn't quite know what to do if you move the TARDIS out of the original chunk it was created in. I know what I have to do to fix it, but maybe not going to have much time to do it as I fly overseas today for work.
Wil look into the TARDIS deletion code too, when I get time...
@Shadix64
I leave for London this afternoon for 3 weeks (work, not play :( ), so I'm going to be limited in how much work I can do on TARDIS, definitely won't be adding any new features in that time, however I'll try to find and squash as many bugs as I can in what time I may have available. Someone else is having a similar problem, so this is the first thing on my list!
For now you could try going back a version or two maybe...
@PiP69
My understanding is that without modifying the server JAR file, there is no other way to have custom sounds in SMP, you either have Spout, or you don't have extra sounds :( Maybe when the new Minecraft Mod API is released, developers will have some more options, for now, my Java skills don't extend that far
Hey, I installed this plugin and absolutely loved it. My members of my server found it to be one of the funnest plugins they've had in a while (especially since several of them are whovians). But recently, the plugin just stopped working right. The TARDIS would go to saved locations in the slots, or to people or coords, but it wouldn't go anywhere random. I tried a number of things, including deleting the .jar and all the config files, then installing them. Still same problems.
This problem started after I installed SkylandsPlus, and generated a world, then flew there with my TARDIS. It was fine, so I saved the location into a slot, then teleported back to my Home slot. Shortly after I deleted to world, because my server doesn't need another RAM hog.
Could that have caused the problem to this extent? Please help, because I love this plugin and so do my members. Thanks in advance.
@eccentricnz
I tried and looked into that already. Unfortunately, its based off the spout launcher, but doesn't used anything of it. :( So then, is getting the sound files an option? Or would you need to change the program?
