TARDIS
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 - requires OptiFine with CTM and CIT

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: http://eccentricdevotion.github.io/TARDIS/installation.html
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-MCP Resource Pack in the Minecraft client to see custom TARDIS textures or the new TARDIS-Resource-Pack if you are using TARDIS v4.2 or higher.
- Install the TARDISChunkGenerator plugin so that you can generate TARDISes in their own self-conatined 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 WorldBorder to restrict the size of the worlds generated for TARDIS occupation (or just use the vanilla Minecraft World Border feature).
- 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.
- Install ProtocolLib so that the TARDIS Zero Room is completely detached from the universe and the TARDIS Keyboard is editable by clicking it
- Install LibsDisguises so that you can use the Genetic Manipulator / Immortality Gate

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

You can prevent players from using the command by removing / not giving them the permission tardis.translate
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...
@Lyhome
I will look in to the
/tardis chameleon add
command and see what's up - thanks for the info.I should also be able to detect snow in the time travel location and just get the TARDIS to find the next block down and land there (displacing any snow), then there shouldn't be a need for a block under the door, unless it lands on a snowy slope :)
Yea, HELLO! Your name says nz so i presume you are from New Zealand, sorry if i'm incorrect. Anyway, i am a big fan of this mod!!!! But, i'm not trying to be better than you, but i noticed that the lamp block looks alot like the inside of The Doctors tardis, so i made a design for a new tardis (interior), i have screenshots for you, but i could send you the whole map if you want, but there are a few random stuff that i made in that map too, but i'll make sure you are close to the design. I am getting off track, um where was i, yes, and the Box, i made a design for that, it's all similar to your design don't worry! But if you are interested in taking a look, we could Skype chat or email? That is all i have to say, it's alot i know XD But yea, thaaanks(:
The Tardis places a block underneath the door, when trying to land on snow. If there must be a block to place a door on snow then, I suggest the Tardis lands with a platform or something instead so it doesn't just appear to be floating.
There appears to be an issue with the command /tardis chameleon add.
Here is my server log. : http://pastebin.com/qJgsSasz
The command was working yesterday, before I had multiverse, MV Portals and MV Nether Portals.
Keep it up, this is the best plugin to come out yet. I've always wanted a portable base that was actually a Tardis. ;D
Perhaps you could think about the model sometime though. The control room is cheaply done, and the outside is kind of sad. Still, I love the plugin.
@hidillon
Please post a ticket with as much detail as possible, and I'll do my best to help you out :)
@eccentricnz
I have tried to delete the folder and it still doesn't work and I'm owner i love the chameleon circuit
Exactly 6000 downloads :D! Skills, my fellow developer!
@Mazgula
The
TARDIS.delete
permission is FALSE by default, so unless you have permissions.*: true or '*', you have to give the permission to whoever you want to have it.Are you sure that the TARDISs you are trying to delete are actually in the database? If they're not, just break the block behind the POLICE BOX sign and get rid of the blocks manually.
I still can't delete any TARDIS.... Is it enabled for ops to delete any tardis by breaking the sign?
@islandmat
I did that in the last update with the /tardis travel I entered the X and Y and X that was inside my Tardis and poof I created a pardox.
@islandmat
Ha ha, sounds VERY Doctor Whoish to me :)
In the new update you can make a paradox!!!! Type /tardis comehere wile in your tardis XDDDDD
@rythar
@Siedge
Have a quick fix for world borders, let the world border plugin kick you back, and then remote control the TARDIS to you using
/tardis comehere
