Going faster

To go that extra bit faster, there are 'boost' items which, when right clicked with when driving, will speed the car up (Consumed on use). There are three tiers of boost items and they may be changed in the config to any value desired. To view what these items are use /ucars. Here is a complete list of the items and their defaults:

TypeDefault itemAction
Low boostCoal/CharcoalGives the user a short boost, for a short amount of time.
Medium boostIron IngotGives the user a reasonable boost, for a decent amount of time.
High boostDiamondGives the user a large boost for a rather long time.


Effect Blocks

Built in to the road you may also find effect blocks. These can be positioned in the road, or a block below it and will each have an effect on the car when driven over. Effect blocks can also be changed in the config, so use /ucars to view what they are set to on your server. Here is a complete list of the effect blocks and what they do:
