MovementMechanics

Fast, clean movement upgrades for Paper 1.21.11.

MovementMechanics adds two core mechanics that feel great in lobbies, parkour zones, minigames, and adventure servers:

• Double Jump (Survival + Adventure)
• Launch Pads (Stone Pressure Plate on Diamond Block)

Why this plugin?

• Built for Paper API best practices
• Uses performant event choices (PlayerInteractEvent for pad triggers)
• Configurable velocity and effects
• Simple permission system
• Java 21 + modern plugin structure

Mechanics

Double Jump

• Players in Survival/Adventure can perform one mid-air double jump.
• The plugin enables flight while grounded, then intercepts PlayerToggleFlightEvent.
• Real flight is canceled and replaced by a velocity launch.
• Includes ENTITY_BAT_TAKEOFF sound + CLOUD particles.
• Reset happens only when the player lands.

Launch Pads

• Trigger by stepping on a Stone Pressure Plate with a Diamond Block directly underneath.
• Uses Action.PHYSICAL interaction for better performance than move polling.
• Launches players in their current look direction (yaw/pitch) with extra upward clearance.
• Includes ENTITY_ENDER_DRAGON_FLAP sound + particle trail.
