PiggyRacers
Pig racing is fun but can be troublesome to maintain:
Someone need to be online for spawning pigs, pulling redstone switches and attempting to decide who won and check that no-one cheated...
Until today!
Setup your own, fully automated piggy races!
Tracks
Define your Pig racing track with the /pr newtrack command:
- Stand where you want the players to start from (min 7x7 block area)
- Use /pr newtrack <racename>
- Right click waypoints of your track
- Type /pr newtrack once again to end the track setup
This is all that is required to setup your Piggy Racing track!
Starting a Piggy Race
A player who wishes to race simply uses the command:
/joinrace
- If there is no upcoming race, a new race started, based on a randomly selected track from the defined tracks
- If there is a upcoming race, the player simply signs up for that race
A player can leave the race at any time by using:
/leaverace
Rewards
Players are currently awarded as follows:
- 1st place gets 1 diamond
- 2nd place gets 1 gold ingot
- 3rd place gets 1 iron
NOTE: Config settings for setting up your own rewards pr. race are underway!
Podiums
Set the podium for a race with the /setpodium command:
- Stand where you want 1st place to be standing and type /pr setpodium <trackname> 1
- Stand where you want 2nd place to be standing and type /pr setpodium <trackname> 2
- Stand where you want 3rd place to be standing and type /pr setpodium <trackname> 3
The top 3 winners of the race will now be teleported to these places after the race, while being given their rewards and showered in flowers!
Betting
When a upcoming race is being announced, players can place bets on a winner until the race starts by using the command:
/bet <amount> <playername>
Note that Vault must be installed in order to use betting.
Installation
Put the PiggyRacers.jar file in your /plugins folder and you are ready to go!

Posted Jul 2, 2013Including organized horse racing would be cool.
Is the betting able to be disabled in the config?
Some of the commands are general and may overlap with other plugins, consider for example changing joinrace to pigrace, I am just foreseeing compatibility issues with other plugins using the same commands.

Posted Jul 2, 2013Once the players have won the race and are in the Podiums. After a certain amount of time are they teleported back to the "Lobby" of the plugin or a customised point set by a command?
- If not, I think you should add as it would really help medium/big sized servers.

Posted Mar 19, 2013I have just setup this plugin. Set up a race and track. Did /racejoin, and guess what? IT DOESN'T WORK!!!!!! I'm guessing that I did the setup wrong, but how can I tell, because the instructions are almost impossible to follow. Can someone please make a video tutorial on this? I've searched youtube up and down. Nothing! Thanks!

EDIT: Was able to join, but couldn't finish the race. I'm almost absolutely sure I didn't do something right, but I don't know what! The conclusion is you either need a video tutorial or to explain a little bit better! Thanks!

Posted Feb 1, 2013Hi, I was wondering if can be automated so there is a countdown every minute, so I don't have to keep starting new races. Thank you and really look forward to using this plugin!
