Usage

Creating A Jump
Measurement Tools can be used to create jumps. This is done by placing two markers blocks with five empty spaces between them. Marker blocks can be any vanilla or modded building block. For the example shown below, red concrete was used.

Stand facing the marker blocks, right click the first block then move sideways to right click the second. 

Error messages can be seen above the inventory hotbar when the Measurement Tool is used incorrectly.

  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

Variations
Bases

    are
  • Even elementsif 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 jumpGUI, thatit can onlywill be usedimpossible onto Levelremove 1the 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 sithorse directlywould oncomfortably avoid collision with the ground.roof.

Rail A simple striped pole 16 Colors
Plank A striped plank 16 Colors
Plank Fancy A solid-color wavy plank 16 Colors

Standards (Support Posts on the side of a jump)
None No standards - Jumps with poles or planks may appear to float without standards N/A
Schooling A simple upright post with a small base. N/A
Radial A wider based standard with a circular pattern (level 3+) N/A
Vertical Slat A wider based standard with a simple wooden slat design N/A

Other information

  • When you Add Layers, the jump will become a taller obstacle even if you do not add any poles etc. Each layer adds an invisible block between the standards that a horse must go over or jump whether there is visually a pole or not.
  • Each jump has a small invisible jump control element that is spawned when a new jump is created. If there are any blocks above the jump, it may delete them.
  • It is recommended that any indoor arena planning to have jumps, up to the maximum jump height, has a roof of no less than 11 blocks. This is not to accommodate for the jump controller, rather the peak point at a max level jump where a rider and horse would collide with the roof.

Troubleshooting 

I do not understand how to use the measurement tool!

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.

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

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

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

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.
