This is a fun little plugin I made that uses a simple command to launch a player. It will launch the player in the direction they are facing. This can also be used with command blocks to create launch pads, like the aerial faith plate from Portal.

But wait, what about fall damage?

Not to worry, this plugin also allows wool to negate all fall damage. As a bonus, if you use sponge, it will also bounce you when you fall on it.

HOW TO USE:

The Command is: "/launch <player> <velocity> <y add> [ignore pitch] [loop time]"

<player>,<velocity>, <y add> are necessary

<player> is the name of the player you want to launch
<velocity> is obviously the velocity you want to launch the player at, the maximum being 10 (the minecraft limit)
<y add> is the velocity you want to add in the y direction - this can be 0
If [ignore pitch] is 0, then the pitch (up and down) will be ignored and the player direction in the x and y direction will be used only
[loop time] can be used the loop the command if you want to be able to launch yourself further, and the game limits the max velocity The command will loop every tick for the time in milliseconds stated

How do I make a launch pad?

Simple. Get a command block, put a pressure plate above it, and use a command such as: "/launch @p 5 2" When the player walks over it, it will launch them in the air.
