#### **Usage**

<p class="callout info">Error messages can be seen above the inventory hotbar when the Measurement Tool is used incorrectly.</p>

**Creating A Jump** Measurement tool is required to create custom jumps. Follow this step by step method to use the tool.

1. Place **any** block (ie dirt) on the ground
2. Move sideways (straight line) and place a second block exactly 5 blocks away (Block - 5B space - Block)
3. Stand in front of one block (looking at it) and right-click the block with a measurement tool in hand
4. Stand in front of the second block (looking at it) and right-click the block with a measurement tool in hand
5. This should bring up the Jump Builder GUI

**Customizing Jumps** You need to interact with the Jump to customize it's features. The Jump Builder GUI (menu) is automatically opened when a new jump is made, and can be opened again at any time by right-clicking on a jump with a measurement tool.

**Other information**

- Even if a layer is set to None (no pole/plank) there will still be an invisible barrier that cannot be passed through
- Each jump has a small, invisible jump control element that is spawned when a new jump is created
- If the jump controller intersects a block it will be removed and no block can be placed there (6B up - top right of jump)
- If the jump controller is destroyed (usually only possible with commands) the jump can no longer be edited)
- If the jump is destroyed by hand instead of the GUI, it will be impossible to remove the controller without commands

<p class="callout info">Indoor arenas should have a minimum of 11B height clearance if intended to support max-level jumps. This height is the peak point at a max level jump where a rider and horse would comfortably avoid collision with the roof.</p>

##### **Still stuck? Check out Brooke's [Video on YT!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ldvx9r1gOuo&list=PLCooe20GkTbzYxEN63VzP222XEt3mAw2M&index=3)**

</details><details id="bkmrk-i-keep-getting-an-er"><summary>I keep getting an error message!</summary>

**Error Messages (Incorrect Use)** Text above the inventory hotbar can inform a user that they are using the Measurement Tool incorrectly. There are 4 error messages in total that can appear for any of the most common user-errors when making jumps.

![Distance.png](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-12/scaled-1680-/distance.png)

**Solution:** Check that there is exactly 5 blocks **between** marker blocks. B-S-S-S-S-S-B (B = Block, S = Space/Air) Too many spaces or too few and the jump will not be created.

![Direction.png](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-12/scaled-1680-/direction.png)

**Solution:** Face your first marker block, right click the block. Move **sideways** (do not turn!) until you are in front of the second block, right click it.

![X-Axis.png](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-12/scaled-1680-/x-axis.png)

**Solution:** One of your blocks is not directly opposite the other marker, make sure they are on a straight line and not at an angle.

![Y-Level.png](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-12/scaled-1680-/y-level.png)

**Solution:** One of your blocks is at a different height than the other marker, make sure both blocks are at same Y level (on level ground)

<p class="callout danger">It is strongly recommended that jumps (and other multiblock items like stall doors) are deleted prior to taking a WorldEdit selection to avoid issues. Including jumps and stall doors in WE Schematics **can potentially corrupt schematics.**</p>
