## Key Features
\n– **Stopwatch HUD**: Real-time Actionbar display showing Speed (m\/s), Facing direction, and precise Elapsed Time (ms).<\/p>\n

– **Checkpoint System**: Dynamic respawn points. If a player falls off the track, they return to their last passed checkpoint instead of the start line.<\/p>\n

– **Competitive Duels**: Challenging other players with side-by-side spawns to prevent boat clipping and glitches.
\n– **Leaderboards**: Persistent storage of the top 10 fastest times for every track.<\/p>\n

– **Interactive Setup Wizard**: A step-by-step guided setup for admins using clickable chat buttons.<\/p>\n

– **Boat Protection**: Automatic boat spawning and cleanup.
\n– **Fully Configurable**: Every message, prefix, and HUD element is customizable in `config.yml`.
\n—<\/p>\n

## How It Works
\n1. **Admins** use the **Setup Wizard** to define a track.
\n2. **Players** use `\/ice play` to enter a solo session.
\n3. Upon starting, a **Boat** is automatically spawned and the player is mounted.
\n4. The **Stopwatch HUD** activates instantly.
\n5. As players move, the plugin checks if they are on the “Ice” path.
\n6. If they fall off, they are **teleported back** to the last checkpoint reached.
\n7. Upon crossing the **Finish line**, the time is recorded and checked against the **Leaderboard**.<\/p>\n
