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
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 Yandex's translation service. The URL it connects to is: https://translate.yandex.net/api/v1.5/tr.json/translate?
You can prevent players from using the command by removing / not giving them the permission tardis.translate
@ewized
Shouldn't be too hard.
/tardis rebuild
coming soon to a plugin near you :)@eccentricnz: Can you add another admin command to force the Tardis box back in the world again, like if it was removed by WorldEdit or a server crash and it didn't save the blocks. This happen to me twice and the only fix I had was to place iron doors every where until i got the right spot.
@eccentricnz
I think you should add them anyway, the whole idea behind the Tardis is it's sound effects, it just seemed quite bare without the landing effect and the time rotor effect.
Yeah thanks it helped!
@scrblue
Sounds something like this: http:dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/tardis/?comment=76
Perhaps you could try the same thing?
I have a slight bug, I teleported out and my entire TARDIS was gone, I tried to rebuild it where it was and right clicked on where the door was the plugin said "You have not created a TARDIS yet!", when I make a new one with the iron block and stuff it says "You already have a TARDIS ..." and when I dig down to the location of where the inside of the TARDIS was and I try and teleport to somewhere to rebuild it and it doesn't go anywhere or rebuild. If anybody knows what to do help would be great.
@kingoscar17
Was thinking about sound effects last night... but wasn't sure how many people actually use spout? Maybe I should start a poll.
@Mazgula
Have sorted admin deletion, will be in the next release, just testing some new features and then it will be out :)
Will you be adding other sound effects, like the landing effect?
Leme get that admin deletion dawg (:
I must say, you guys/girls are taking this plugin to places I never would have thought of. FANTASTIC!
@ewized
Ha! So you did, must have subconsciously taken notice, but it didn't sink in till now. Will credit you with the idea, thanks.
@eccentricnz
LOL Thats what I did I had to edit the database myself but didnt you see my other comment on new ideas. http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/tardis/?page=3#c74
Here is my Tardis full album here: http://imgur.com/a/X3pIw#0
@megavidsnetwork
Link to pictures please :)
Technically you could move the door, but you would have to edit the TARDIS database file to change the location of the door, bit of a pain really... but does give me an idea for a new feature - a new command -
/tardis update [door | repeater[1-4] | button]
Running the command will allow you to click on the new location of the moved block and update the database for you.
Adding to the todo list...
@therimmer96
try:
This will allow you to build the TARDIS on your home world, from any other world. It will also exclude the world from being used in random time travel destinations. You will need to prevent other forms of getting to the world using your permissions setup ie for MultiVerse/PermissionsBukkit you would set other players to multiverse.access.yourworldname: false
I loved this update for the most part, however now I can't place my TARDIS door further away. I built a replica of David Tennant's TARDIS interior, but I have to place the door right next to the console so I can get out :/
Is it possible for the Tardis cockpits to be generated in a different world to the police box? i use my Tardis as my survival home on my private survival server and don't want to risk my friends robbing diamonds. if this is possible, what other plugins do i need?
great plugin by the way!
Would you be able to make it so that you could also travel using player commands as in: '/TARDIS travel 100 100 100' That would move your tardis to location 100 100 100 and so on making it easier to get to certain locations, or if they use the command: '/TARDIS ptravel Player' the tardis would goto the location of the selected player in this example 'Player'. Please could you add some of them feature
@gaeasson
There can only be one (inner) TARDIS per chunk, if you try to build a TARDIS in a chunk that is already occupied, it won't let you.
I have my TARDIS underground, but not as low as the inner TARDIS, an interesting scenario to test!
Won't be adding new features for a few weeks, as I'm off overseas on business soon, but will try to get the bugs ironed out of the current version before I go :)
