Setup

It's fairly simple, you need a lobby, some spawns and the finish line.

1. /hr createrace [name]
2. /hr setlobby [name]
3. /hr setspawn [count] [name] You can set unlimited spawns. The number of spawns is equal to the maximum of players that can join a race
4. /hr setfinish [name] After you typed in /hr setfinish [name], you'll get a wooden shovel to select two points, as described on the picture beneath.
5. create a join sign at the lobby:

1. [horserace]
2. racename

To set a finish line, select the first point by leftclicking the block with the wooden shovel and the second point by rightclicking the other block:

Arenacycling Setup (v1.2)

If you have two (or more) arenas and want your users to cycle through all this arenas in one run, use this feature.

Please delete any join signs before using arenacycling, otherwise it won't work. Right now you can either use multiple arenas with multiple join signs or arena cycling. Also, every arena needs to have the same amount of spawns.

• Be sure to have at least two arenas already set up.
• turn on arena_cycling in the config.
• Create the following join sign:
  • [horserace]
  • [cycle]

To remove the cycling feature again, turn arena_cycling off in the config. You can optionally remove the cycle join sign, but it won't work anyway with arena_cycling disabled.

MySQL (v1.3)

Enable MySQL in the config file by setting mysql.enabled to true, also adjust the host, database, user and password settings to your needs. Create a table in the following format and you're good to go!

The id column must be the primary key and have the autoincrement attribute set to true. Table name: horseracing_stats.

Config:

• use_economy: true
• use_gambling: true
• entry_money: 10 if use_gambling is set to true, everyone pays a little bit, but the player wins everything

Additional Info

• I'm open for any suggestions, just comment below! Thank you and have fun :)
• You need Vault for the economy stuff to work
• This plugin uses MCStats to send statistics to mcstats.griefcraft.com/plugin/HorseRacingPlus which contain things like server software information etc.
• This plugin also uses an auto-updater which can be turned off in the config (I don't recommend that for future bugfix releases).

[Metrics stats again soon]
