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

That sounds really weird, I disconnect and stop/start the server, multiple times when testing the plugin - while I'm in the TARDIS - and have never been dislocated by 200 blocks. The only problem I've had (which might be related) was when flying outside the TARDIS to watch room growing, and hitting the WorldBorder and being automatically pushed back from the edge. Instead of pushing back inside the border it threw me about 600 blocks away and I got stuck in an endless loop. However, when I TPed myself to another world, and then found my way back to the Police Box, I didn't have any problem getting back inside the TARDIS.
If you've watched the Recharging video, you will probably see why your recharging wasn't working, as it won't recharge if you do a /tardis comehere to the recharge area. You need to time travel there and then exit the TARDIS...
The long and short of it is that I still haven't been able to reproduce those errors you were getting, so I'll get a debug version prepped...
@eccentricnz
Thank you. Figured it would be something in plain sight
@CHint03
TARDIS is not compatible with BukkitForge. Try running it with Tekkit (Classic) server instead...
@eccentricnz
I think I at least narrowed down whats causing me to get locked out of the tardis. I logged out while in a newly created Tardis, (to update some permissions offline). Shut down the server, then started it back up after permission changes. When I logged back in I was roughly 200 blocks away from where the Tardis was created. I try and enter the Tardis and I receive error in the console. At this point, I assume its because I never properly "left" the Tardis. So I try and delete the Tardis using tardisadmin command and I get this back.
Hope this helps! Thanks again for all the hard work lately, this plugin really is awesome.
First off this mod is absolutely fantastic. Secondly I've run into a problem trying to get the newest version to work on my Tekkit Lite server. I have installed Bukkit Forge for 1.4.7 and it is working. The problem I run into is when I try to start the server with the new beta v2.0 it wont enable because of an error. I will include the sever log. It is probably something that I missed but I dont know what else to do. Thank you in advance for all your help and keep making this plugin the best there is.
(On a side note if you have any new rooms you would like built I could try my hand at them. Just give me what the room is and the style you want it. Im also a huge Whovian so that helps.)
Best Wishes Hint
Another tutorial video, this time about recharging artron energy, hadn't finished processing when I posted this, so you might have to wait a bit...
@DoktuhParadox
Sure, would you like to submit a design?
Everything's working pretty well since the new beta. Can there be a workshop room, though?
@dandubois89
I'll try reproducing the error tonight, if I have issues i'll make a specific debug version for you to try. Thanks for being on the case :)
@eccentricnz
Yea sorry, ill be more descriptive.
The recharger command seemed to work fine, I did target the beacon. I made sure to include that the series of commands I used before it crashed in my previous post for you.
I didnt TP out of the Tardis. I created a Tardis previously, (clean installfrom previous version of course) Then I properly exited the tardis using the key. I restarted the server to remove some old plugins I wasnt using anymore using proper stop command then started it with my batch file to start back up. I was then logged in where I logged out ( directly in front of tardis). I decided to make a charging station, then use the comehere command to put my tardis in range of the station. Once it materialized at the location is when it would not let me enter the Tardis and was not recharging. I checked the console and noticed I was receiving that error.
Hope this helps narrow down any potential issues. Something that may help, since I have received this scenario of the tardis crashing like this before. If I tried to delete my tardis I would get a console error, and it telling me it was occupied and could not be deleted ( I was the only person in it of course). What I have done to fix it each time it delete everything except the config file, and manually remove the associated world folder.
Let me know if you need me to try and reproduce this, maybe with the debug turned on and I can send you my entire server log.
@dandubois89
Making a beacon is not enough in itself, did you run
/tardisadmin recharger [name]
while targeting the beacon block?Planning on doing a video tutorial on rechargers tonight...
You're getting the same error as last time with your TNT experiment, when you say 'got out of it' do you out of the room or out of the TARDIS, and if the TARDIS are you exiting through the door and not just TPing out?
@GervaisJohn
You need to install TARDISChunkGenerator, when the server starts up TARDIS checks whether TARDISChunkGenerator is installed and if not found it turns
create_worlds
to false. Please do not use the beta unless you have a lot of experience in testing software and running a server...Need to update EssentialsProtect perhaps?
Also I get 2:30:11 PM EST CONSOLE: [SEVERE] Could not pass event EntityChangeBlockEvent to EssentialsProtect 2:30:11 PM EST CONSOLE: java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: WITHER 2:30:17 PM EST Server: Saving world data. Expect lag for a short while. 2:30:17 PM EST CONSOLE: [INFO] CONSOLE: Forcing save.. 2:30:17 PM EST CONSOLE: [INFO] CONSOLE: Save complete.
For some reason it will not create the TARDIS now. I get this error: 2:04:33 PM EST CONSOLE: [SEVERE] Could not pass event BlockPlaceEvent to TARDIS 2:04:33 PM EST CONSOLE: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: me/eccentric_nz/tardischunkgenerator/TARDISChunkGenerator 2:04:33 PM EST CONSOLE: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: me.eccentric_nz.tardischunkgenerator.TARDISChunkGenerator
@GervaisJohn
Are you chaning the setting when the server is on in the yml? The proper way to do it is /tardisadmin create-worlds true
For some reason when I change create world to true, it defaults back to false. Any ideas?
I changed it so gold can be used to power mine. Thanks for making such an awesome plugin. Loving the new rooms and the mob-less worlds now,
Also, feature suggestion, just a confirmation when the room they create starts building and a completed message to the user when its done.
Edit: Everything seemed to be working fine/ I wasin tardis, made a room and got out of it then I shutdown the server.. After starting it backup, I made a recharging station, did comehere command and tardis moved fine, but didnt start charging. I then tried to enter tardis and I received this error on console.
Using your latest snapshot, bukkit 1.4.7R0.1, and latest spoutcraft client & spout plugin. Logged in with vanilla MC and same console error. Hope this helps!
Another video tutorial, this one is for noobs though :)
v2.0-beta-2 uploaded: http:dev.bukkit.org/media/files/666/326/TARDIS.jar
Change log:
full_recharge_item
configurablecreate_worlds
is false in the config, players now get more Artron energy while time travelling, and can transfer it at anytime to the Artron Energy capacitor@dandubois89
Try updating the position of the inner TARDIS door, as not finding it, is what is throwing the error
