/tardis find​

If you have forgotten where you left the blue Police box, simply type:

/tardis comehere​

Make the TARDIS come to you. Note: if the plugin difficulty is set to hard you will need to use the TARDIS Stattenheim Remote instead of this command.

/tardis save​

Save TARDIS time travel locations — use this command to save the location where the TARDIS Police Box currently is. Using this command while holding a Save Storage Disk in you hand will write the save to the disk. Note: if the plugin difficulty is set to hard you will need to craft Save Storage Disks instead of this command.

/tardis save [name]

/tardis add​

Type:

/tardis add [player]

/tardis remove​

Remove a player from your companions list.

Type:

/tardis remove [player]

/tardis update​

If you want to modify the interior of the TARDIS you will need to use this command. The TARDIS plugin needs to know the location of the IRON DOOR, STONE BUTTON, handbrake LEVER, the Artron Energy BUTTON, the Control Menu SIGN, the 4 REPEATERS and various other controls. First move the blocks to their new position then, type one of:

/tardis update advanced
/tardis update allay
/tardis update ars
/tardis update artron
/tardis update back
/tardis update backdoor
/tardis update bamboo
/tardis update beacon
/tardis update bell
/tardis update birdcage
/tardis update button
/tardis update chameleon
/tardis update condenser
/tardis update control
/tardis update creeper
/tardis update direction
/tardis update dispenser
/tardis update door
/tardis update eps
/tardis update farm
/tardis update flight
/tardis update forcefield
/tardis update frame
/tardis update fuel
/tardis update generator
/tardis update handbrake
/tardis update igloo
/tardis update iistubil
/tardis update info
/tardis update keyboard
/tardis update lava
/tardis update light
/tardis update map
/tardis update pen
/tardis update rail
/tardis update rotor [unlock]
/tardis update save-sign
/tardis update scanner
/tardis update siege
/tardis update smelt
/tardis update stable
/tardis update stall
/tardis update storage
/tardis update telepathic
/tardis update temporal
/tardis update terminal
/tardis update throttle
/tardis update toggle_wool
/tardis update vault
/tardis update village
/tardis update world-repeater
/tardis update x-repeater
/tardis update y-repeater
/tardis update z-repeater
/tardis update zero

After executing the command, click on the block to update the TARDIS settings.

  • world-repeater is the one closest to the door
  • With your back to the door the x-repeater is the one on the right
  • With your back to the door the z-repeater is the one on the left
  • y-repeater is the one at the back

If you have created a TARDIS with an older version of the plugin, you can also use this command to add any missing controls.

If you run the command /tardis update without any further arguments, an interactive clickable chat GUI will be displayed — just click the item in chat that you want to update, and avoid having to run the command multiple times ( requires TARDIS v 3.1-beta-1 or higher).

To see which kind of blocks are updateable for each control, visit the Update blocks page

/tardis secondary​

Similar to the /tardis update command, you can use the /tardis secondary command to update the locations of controls in secondary (and tertiary) consoles.

First move the blocks to their new position then, type one of:

/tardis secondary artron
/tardis secondary back
/tardis secondary button
/tardis secondary door
/tardis secondary handbrake
/tardis secondary world-repeater
/tardis secondary x-repeater
/tardis secondary y-repeater
/tardis secondary z-repeater

After executing the command, click on the block to update the TARDIS settings.

/tardis lamps​

Another “update” type command, this one deletes all of a TARDIS’ lamp records from the database, and rescans the TARDIS console for lights to add back in.

This is useful if you have changed the location of the lights of the console room and now I can’t turn them on or off.

For TARDIS v4.14.0 and below​

note

Make sure that you have set your lamp preference correctly before running the command (/tardisprefs lanterns [on|off]), so the plugin searches for the correct block type (Redstone Lamp or Sea Lantern).

/tardisprefs lanterns [on|off]
/tardis lamps

/tardis rebuild​

If your blue Police Box gets damaged (damn those creepers!), lost due to a server crash or you’ve hidden it, simply type:

/tardis rebuild

and the Police Box will be recreated at its last known save position. Use /tardis find to locate it if you cannot remember where that was!

/tardis rescue​

Lets you rescue a player and materialise the TARDIS around them.

/tardis resuce [player]

The player must accept the rescue attempt by typing tardis rescue accept in chat.

/tardis namekey​

Lets you rename the TARDIS key item to whatever you want. To rename it, simply type:

/tardis namekey [your cool new name here]

This command is only available if you are running CraftBukkit 1.4.6 or later.

/tardis exterminate​

Type this command to confirm that you want to delete your TARDIS.

/tardis gravity​

Type this command to convert v2.0-beta-6 and earlier style gravity wells to the new updated style. You must be inside the TARDIS to run this command.

/tardis occupy​

Type this command if you have exited the TARDIS accidentally by another means than by the TARDIS door. It will toggle your TARDIS occupation status i.e. if you were inside the TARDIS it will set you to being outside.

/tardis eject​

Type this command, then click on the entity you want to eject from the TARDIS. The entity could be a player, villager, or mob (except horses — you need to ride those out). TARDIS admin users and server ops cannot be ejected.

/tardis inside​
