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
@gaeasson
Hmm, I never checked running the update from inside the TARDIS, will have a look at that one...
@beimeith
The platform was working well in my testing... looks like I need to do a bit more!
You can add as many companions as you want, and remove them as well - /tardis remove [player]. Thought about a command to list companions, but never got round to it, will add it to the todo list :) Will also make the companion name case-insensitive.
Thanks everyone for the feedback, will have a look over the next few days and see if I can squash some bugs
Awesome!
I have been experiencing the same problem with as soon as I enter the TARDIS I am flying, and I continue to fly when I exit.
I did notice one other small issue with the latest build, and that is with the optional platform. The block directly in front of the door is missing, or misplaced. You can see it here:

Another small issue: The Companion List is case-sensitive. If would be nice if it wasn't, but it isn't a big deal if you mention that in the instructions. It took a few minutes before I figured out why my friend couldn't enter my TARDIS.
I also noticed they did not get the destination message when I hit the button. Is it possible to let them see it as well?
Also, I had a few questions on that;
@markdf
I noticed the opposite problem as Markdf. I spent a lot of time in creative mode trying to set things up for new users. Whenever I went through the TARDIS door in either direction it seemed like I lost the ability to fly, even though I was still in creative mode. One bad materialization in skylands, and I fell right out of the world, screaming and flapping my space-bar the whole way down.
Hmmm It broke my tardis.
I was "inside" when I ran /tardis admin update. It told me it had updated successfully. Now my Tardis door doesn't seem to operate.
Going to restore from backup and try again.
(10 minutes later) Something's munged. It was telling me where my tardis was, but there was no tardis there. I couldn't destroy it without the sign. I couldn't build a new one because I already had one, and neither the interior button nor door were functional so I couldn't re-materialize somewhere else to force a rebuild of the exterior structure. (I was using /mvtp to get in and out)
Wiped my old config folder and started over fresh with the new plugin. Works beautifully.
(later) Ha! Now my old Tardis(exterior) is back, but when I click the door it tells me I haven't made a Tardis yet. Then I stroll back to the new Tardis (exterior) and it works like a charm.
Fantastic plugin, just one slight problem, When I use the Tardis I get fly mode enabled, anyone else have that problem?
Hey I got some ideas for you. It would be awesome if you add a command to put the button repeater and door where you want and also a command to make the tardis apper where you want it. They seem simple to do.
@soshowcanihelp
Can you check your config file, have your server worlds been added to the file? If not add them in i.e.
@eccentricnz
XD
I am having an issue with the plugin all of a sudden, It just isn't working, I can enter it but then when I press the button it won't switch worlds...
Also what about an ability to travel to your companion, Maybe a lever which will take you there?
@Mazgula
That's why developers need people like you - to use the plugin and think of / find issues that they never even occur to them.
Adding admin TARDIS deletion to the todo list!
@soshowcanihelp Glad you like it :)
The source code is freely available at the TARDIS GitHub repository, hack away to your heart's content
Nice idea with the signs, will put it on the todo list.
I'm aware of the (ongoing) positioning issue, I've already decided to rewrite the section of code that determines that.
I've got an issue with the db, I can't manually edit the file to get rid of tardis's when they get in a bad place, underwater or whatever... Also I can't delete misplaced tardis's that have no owner due to some bug I guess, can you make it so players that are opped or players with the tardis.admin node can destroy any tardis please? this will solve a lot of issues for me.
Please, whatever you do! Do not stop updating this plugin and if you don't! Please for the love of god let us have the source code if you do abandon it XD.
Secondly a suggestion I would say is signs for each repeater and maybe when it is switching to another place, make it appear, disappear, appear disappear... etc XD I would love to see my friends see it paste copy paste copy.
Positions of tardis need improved when spawning :) Also I made a revamped tardis that is wider, with working lights that flash when on the pad if you want it I can send you it but I am sure you can do it.
@bcorker123
@Mazgula
Wish granted :)
I have to say this thing is still useful in tekkit!
Really amazing mod, dude! Only problem I have is that, as cool as your own personal TARDIS is, I'd love to be able to have multiple people in one TARDIS to travel together.
Whenever I try to travel to a saved destination, it ALWAYS takes me to the home position.
The only possible thing I can think of to make this plugin better... Would be the ability to bring a companion :3
I love the plugin, but could you add the ability to go to the Nether and The End?
