RocketBoots
Hey guy, I continued the inactive RocketBoots plugin. :)
RocketBoots - Fly around on your server with various rocket boots, fling other players into the air and more
RocketBoots super-charges your armor boots and gives them different rocket abilities, like flying, hovering, launching players/animals into the air and more.
Types of RocketBoot:
Flight:
Gold boots
Flight boots. These allow you to fly long distances quickly while still having a lot of control over the flight. These are my personal favourite :)
Diamond boots
Hover boots. These let you hover in the air by tapping SHIFT (sneak) repeatedly. These rocket boots are the easiest to control, and still let you fly around at a reasonable speed.
Launching:
Leather boots
Animal boots. With these on, right click a player / animal / mob to send them flying into the air, just enough so they'll probably die when they come back to earth. [Note: You can stop players being affected by these boots using Permissions]
Iron boots
GTFO boots. With these boots on, tap SHIFT (sneak) to make all players / animals / mobs go flying away from you at speed. [Note: You can stop players being affected by these boots using Permissions]
Fun:
Chainmail boots
God boots. These boots aren't really practical - just a lot of fun. Fly with these like gold boots. They're extremely fast (almost uncontrollably fast), and when you come crashing back down to earth there'll be a huge lightning strike where you land. Fun to bomb back down to earth at other players ;)
Misc:
Feather
While flying with gold, diamond or chainmail boots, right click with a feather in your mainhand (not 2nd hand) to come to an instant stop upon a glass block in mid-air. This is handy if you want to use the boots for, eg, building, or just staying still to observe the view from the sky.
*Note*: This block isn't really there - it's a trick, and only your client shows it. As such, RocketBoots won't remove this block when you walk off it. Mine it away yourself, or reconnect, and all these blocks will be gone ;)
How to use:
For the gold boots, just put them on, hold shift, point up a bit and walk forward. You'll get the hang of it ;)
For the diamond boots, repeatedly tap the SHIFT key (sneak) to hover in the air, go for a walk in the sky, scale walls / mountains, etc.
With the leather boots, right click an animal / mob / player and they'll go flying up into the air, and probably die from the impact when they come down again
Tap SHIFT (sneak) with the iron boots on to make all nearby animals / mobs / players go flying away from you.
Chainmail boots operate like gold boots
Check out the Video page for a tutorial.
Commands:
None. Just put on the boots and have fun / build stuff / fly!
(OK, there's one. But it's simple - Use /rocketboots on|off to enable or disable your own RocketBoots, as requested by a lot of users)
Permissions:
If you're not using the Permissions plugin, RocketBoots will use the built-in op/non-op system for permissions. Only ops will be able to use any of the boots - they'll just be regular boots for everyone else.
Otherwise, the Permissions nodes are as follows:
- rocketboots.* - Access to everything
- rocketboots.boots.* - Can use all Boots
- rocketboots.boots.gold - Can use gold boots
- rocketboots.boots.diamond - Can use diamond boots
- rocketboots.boots.leather - Can use leather boots
- rocketboots.boots.iron - Can use iron boots
- rocketboots.boots.chainmail - Can use chainmail boots
- rocketboots.launchPlayers - Can launch players when using iron / leather boots (without this, only animals / mobs will be launched)
- rocketboots.feather - Can use the feather to stop in mid-air while flying
- rocketboots.bypassFallDamage - Do not receive FallDamage even if globally enabled
- rocketboots.bypassBootsDamage - Boots won't get damaged or destroyed when landing
Configuration file:
RocketBoots just one configuration file that will be created for you the first time you run the plugin (or when the file doesn't exist). This contains a lot of comments that'll explain all of the available options for you, but here's a run-down:
playersCanDisable => set whether players can disable RocketBoots for themselves (/rocketboots on|off)
preventFlightKick => disabled by default. Set this to 'true' and RocketBoots will stop the server from kicking you for flying when "allow-flight" is false in server.properties. This will make the flight boots lag slightly if flying is disabled on the server, hence it being disabled by default.
boots => various options for setting, eg, the speed of some boots, and other options. Look in the config file for details.
Put RocketBoots.jar in your server's plugin directory, then restart or reload the server. Add the Permissions nodes if you use Permissions, then put on some boots! (Try the gold ones first :))

@TheXShadow2000
I'm sorry, but it's not possible to change the key to activate the boots. To use a different key it would require Spout or another modification like this. :(
@boboman13
How do you mean? What should be hooked?
@MNubbi
The entry fly-speed can set the speed of golden boots.
How can i edit the speed of the gold boots? There isn't an entry in the config file.
Hi, I would really like a full API for this plugin. A few people that use my plugin (PVPPack) would like me to hook into it. Is this possible?
Dear creators/authors of the RocketBoots plugin, I would love it if you added configurable key settings for the different kinds of rocket boots in the config file. (So, for example, I could change the fly key for the diamond boots to SPACE instead of LSHIFT) Or, if flying only occurs when the player is sneaking, no matter what key they press, could you please let us change that action? (i.e. One could change the triggering action for diamond boots from SNEAK to JUMP) Thank you. I am just asking because diamond boots are a huge part of transportation on my space survival server, and everyone using windows has been complaining about sticky keys glitching out (turning on and off, I guess? I couldn't say, I have a mac) whenever they use the diamond boots.
@JacksmackDave
So you're fine now?
@JacksmackDave
Nevermind I accidentally gave the .* to myself when testing
Permissions don't seem to be working properly.
I am using groupmanager and I didn't add any permissions and regular users could use boots. I added negative permissions and it disabled it for everyone, but I'm trying to add permissions to the higher tier users and they are not able to use the boots. any idea why this would happen? The permissions are set up properly, spelled correctly and everything but it's odd that everyone has access to them without permissions.
@ThoLav
Ohh sry! I uploaded the wrong file... It's the testing jar with old config. ;)
It'll come in the new version, of course with perms. Please use the other file.
Hi,
the players now get falling damage while landing. Could please make it configurable? The best way would be a permission node, so that it could be given to special groups.
@Setsuna3
You can edit this in the config file.
@Hangar
Normally not, :D! I'll check it.
Is it supposed to strike you with your own lightning when using chainmail boots? O.o
Is there a way to change the speed of the golden boots?
Any way we can switch which boots do which feature? I'd like to swap gold and diamond...
@TheFitSoldier
Use permissions...
@piritacraft
i need that lol
hehe I loved this plugin.. had it on my server around a year ago. There wasn't creative back then so we used these boots to fly around xD
I added permission rocketboots.boots.* but the boots are working only with OP.
Possible to make it so that only one of the boots work and that the others work normally as armor? Like, lets say I just want gold boots to have effects, how can I make that happen and not diamond boots have effects because I want to use it for actual armor.
@TheXShadow2000
Yes, you can download it here: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/rocketboots/files/9
Question: Is there any possibility that a new version of this plugin (with 1.4.7 capability) is going to be released soon? Thanks.
