LaunchPad

A configurable launch pad plugin for Hytale servers. Stand on a block, press interact, and get blasted into the sky.

---

Features

• Configurable launch pad block type — any block in the game
• Adjustable launch velocity with optional horizontal momentum preservation
• Customizable particle effects with scale, rotation, and color override support
• Customizable sound effects with volume and pitch control
• Configurable fall damage cancellation when landing on a launch pad block
• Per-player cooldown system
• Block-below validation — only triggers when the interacted block is the one you're standing on

---

How It Works

1. Stand on or near the configured block
2. Look down at it and press F (Use/Interact)
3. Get launched into the sky
4. Land on any launch pad block without taking fall damage

Configuration

All configuration files are generated in the plugin's data directory on first run.

Config.json

Field	Type	Default	Description
enabled	boolean	true	Whether the launch pad is enabled
material	string	Cloth_Block_Wool_Yellow	The block type ID that acts as a launch pad
launchVelocity	double	20.0	The upward velocity applied to the player
standingTolerance	double	1.5	Maximum Y-distance tolerance for standing detection
cooldownDuration	long	500	Cooldown in milliseconds between launches per player
preserveHorizontalMomentum	boolean	true	Whether horizontal momentum is preserved on launch
cancelFallDamage	boolean	true	Whether fall damage is cancelled when landing on a launch pad block

Particle.json

Field	Type	Default	Description
enabled	boolean	true	Whether particles are enabled on launch
particleId	string	Hytale/DirtBreak	The particle system ID
scale	float	1.5	Scale multiplier for the particle effect
rotationYaw	float	0.0	Yaw rotation in radians
rotationPitch	float	0.0	Pitch rotation in radians
rotationRoll	float	0.0	Roll rotation in radians
colorOverride	boolean	false	Whether to override the particle color
colorRed	int	255	Red component (0-255), only used when colorOverride is true
colorGreen	int	255	Green component (0-255), only used when colorOverride is true
colorBlue	int	255	Blue component (0-255), only used when colorOverride is true

When colorOverride is false, the particle color is resolved from the configured block type's asset definition.

Sound.json

Field	Type	Default	Description
enabled	boolean	true	Whether the sound is enabled on launch
soundId	string	SFX_Cloth_Hit	The sound event ID
volume	float	1.0	Volume multiplier
