\n– Ensure **two blocks** of same material stacked vertically
\n– Check player is standing on top block (not in it)
\n– Verify material is configured in config.yml
\n– Check for cooldown (0.5 second delay between launches)<\/p>\n
\n– Verify particle names are valid Minecraft particle types
\n– Particles are client-side – restart client if needed
\n– Check console for errors on invalid particle names
\n– Plugin falls back to FLAME if particle invalid<\/p>\n
\n– Verify sound name is valid Minecraft sound enum
\n– Check client sound settings (not muted)
\n– Plugin falls back to ENTITY_FIREWORK_ROCKET_LAUNCH if invalid
\n– Sound plays at launch location, volume 1.0<\/p>\n
\n– Verify `boat: true` in configuration for that material
\n– Boat must be moving over blocks (not stationary)
\n– Check boat is actually in water (works on land too)
\n– Boat pitch is 0.8 (lower than player’s 1.2)<\/p>\n
\n– Adjust vertical and horizontal values (0-100)
\n– Values multiply with base velocity:
\n – Player: vertical \u00d72.5, horizontal \u00d73.0
\n – Boat: vertical \u00d71.5, horizontal \u00d74.0
\n– Test in creative mode for safety<\/p>\n
\n– Trails only appear while entity is in air
\n– Minimum 3 ticks in air before landing detection
\n– Trails stop when landing or entering liquid
\n– Check trail_particle1 and trail_particle2 are valid<\/p>\n
\n– Hold the block in your hand
\n– Click the Emerald in GUI slot 25
\n– Material must not already exist as launcher
\n– Requires `eizzolaunchers.admin` permission<\/p>\n
\n2. **Direction-Based:** Launch direction follows player\/boat facing direction
\n3. **Cooldown System:** 0.5 second cooldown prevents repeated launches
\n4. **GUI Blocking:** Launches blocked while inventory GUI is open
\n5. **Velocity Scaling:** Values 0-100 scale with different multipliers for player\/boat
\n6. **Trail Rendering:** Trails use perpendicular offset vectors for side-by-side streams
\n7. **Fallback System:** Invalid particles\/sounds automatically fallback to defaults<\/p>\n
\n– Vertical: `config \u00d7 2.5 \u00f7 100` blocks\/tick

\n– Vertical: `config \u00d7 1.5 \u00f7 100` blocks\/tick (lower for water travel)
\n– Horizontal: `config \u00d7 4.0 \u00f7 100` blocks\/tick (higher for distance)<\/p>\n
\n– Player\/entity touches ground (`isOnGround()`)
\n– Entity enters liquid (`getBlock().isLiquid()`)
\n– Entity removed\/despawned<\/p>\n
\nVector dir = entity.getDirection().setY(0).normalize();
\nVector sideOffset = new Vector(-dir.getZ(), 0, dir.getX()).normalize().multiply(0.3);
