Creating A Jump
Measurement tool is required to create custom jumps. Follow this step by step method to use the tool.
- Place any block (ie dirt) on the ground
- Move sideways (straight line) and place a second block exactly 5 blocks away (Block - 5B space - Block)
- Stand in front of one block (looking at it) and right-click the block with a measurement tool in hand
- Stand in front of the second block (looking at it) and right-click the block with a measurement tool in hand
- 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.
| Edit Obstacle |
Type: Left click the None button next to Layer to cycle forward through obstacles, right click to go back. |
|
Color: Left click the color button next to an obstacle to cycle through colors, right click to go back. |
|
|
Some obstacle variants do not have a color option (logs etc) |
|
| Edit Levels |
Add: Left click the 'Add Layer' button in the top left of the GUI to add a new layer (One block higher) |
| Delete: Left click the 'Delete Layer' button in the top left of the GUI to delete a layer (One block lower) |
|
| Edit Standards | Type: Left click the button next to 'Standards' to cycle between jump standards (posts that support poles) |
| Delete Jump |
If you want to get rid of the entire jump, left click the 'Destroy' button in the top right of the GUI. |
| Do not destroy jumps by hand or the invisible jump controls will remain! | |
| Exit GUI | Press the escape key to exit out of the Jump GUI at any time. |
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
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.

Troubleshooting
I keep getting an error message!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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)
Known Issues
If you find an issue, please report it to our bugs channel on Discord. We ask that you look to see if your issue was reported first!
- [~] Measurement Tools can stop working due to 'soft locking'. If the player is receiving no error messages for incorrect use, the issue can usually be resolved by replacing the item.
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.
