🚀 NovaJump — The Ultimate Block Booster
NovaJump is a lightweight, modern, and highly-configurable motion management plugin designed for Paper and Purpur servers (version 1.21.11). It allows server administrators to turn any specific block type—such as water, lava, or pressure plates—into dynamic launchpads or environmental boosters with built-in server safety protections.
🔌 Features & Integrations
- Multi-Block Triggers: Define which materials (e.g.,
WATER,LAVA,OAK_PRESSURE_PLATE) trigger the upward boost. - Per-World Control: Enable or disable the mechanic globally or limit it strictly to specific worlds.
- Smart Cooldowns: Built-in configurable tick-based cooldowns per player to stop trigger spamming and maintain server stability.
- Velocity Safety Cap: Hardcoded safeguards that prevent administrators from inputting dangerous velocity multipliers (e.g., millions) that could crash the server or trigger anti-cheats.
🛠️ Configuration & Setup
The plugin uses a straightforward config.yml structure. You can customize the physics power, set world blacklists/whitelists, and configure separate block profiles.
🛡️ Safety Limit Warning
⚠️ Note: The plugin includes an internal velocity cap (
MAX_ALLOWED_VELOCITY). If a configuredboost_powervalue exceeds this limit, NovaJump will automatically throttle it down to a safe value and log a warning in the console to protect your server's performance.
💻 Commands & Permissions
NovaJump features instant configuration reloading without needing to restart your Minecraft server.
