A user-friendly plugin for managing ice boat races. Auto-detect tracks, setup wizard, checkpoints, race duels, and much more!
⬇ Download on Modrinth
ice boating is designed to provide a simple yet premium racing experience on ice tracks, featuring real-time HUDs, interactive setup wizards, and a robust checkpoint system.
Key Features
Stopwatch HUD: Real-time Actionbar display showing Speed (m/s), Facing direction, and precise Elapsed Time (ms).
Checkpoint System: Dynamic respawn points. If a player falls off the track, they return to their last passed checkpoint instead of the start line.
Competitive Duels: Challenging other players with side-by-side spawns to prevent boat clipping and glitches.
Leaderboards: Persistent storage of the top 10 fastest times for every track.
Interactive Setup Wizard: A step-by-step guided setup for admins using clickable chat buttons.
Boat Protection: Automatic boat spawning and cleanup.
Fully Configurable: Every message, prefix, and HUD element is customizable in
config.yml.
How It Works
- Admins use the Setup Wizard to define a track.
- Players use
/ice play <track>to enter a solo session. - Upon starting, a Boat is automatically spawned and the player is mounted.
- The Stopwatch HUD activates instantly.
- As players move, the plugin checks if they are on the "Ice" path.
- If they fall off, they are teleported back to the last checkpoint reached.
- Upon crossing the Finish line, the time is recorded and checked against the Leaderboard.
