• Color-coded progress bar changes as it charges (Red → Yellow → Green)
• Status messages ("CHARGING", "ALMOST READY", "READY!") indicate current charge level

Configuration Options​

• Jump power - Configure both horizontal and vertical jump strength
• Cooldown period - Set waiting time between jumps

Plugin Compatibility​

Potential Conflicts​

• Some combat plugins that prevent movement abilities during combat may interfere with the long jump functionality

WorldGuard Integration​

The plugin respects WorldGuard regions if installed. By default, long jump can be used in all regions, but server administrators can disable it in specific regions by setting a custom flag or using the movement flag.

Possible Future Integrations​

• PlaceholderAPI support for displaying charge level in other plugins
• Region-specific configuration for different jump parameters in different areas
• Custom sounds and particle effects through resource packs

Use Cases​

This plugin is particularly useful for:

• Parkour servers - Adds an additional movement mechanic to parkour challenges
• Minigame servers - Creates unique gameplay experiences
• Survival servers - Provides players with a mobility option for exploration
• PvP servers - Adds a strategic movement option during combat
• RPG servers - Gives classes or ranks unique movement abilities

Performance Impact​

The plugin is optimized for minimal performance impact. It uses efficient event handling and does not create unnecessary entities or blocks. The visual effects are kept lightweight to ensure smooth gameplay even on servers with many players.
