cd plugins/SoulSpeedHarness
./gradlew buildThe compiled JAR will be in build/libs/SoulSpeedHarness-1.0.0.jar
- Java 21 or higher
- Gradle (included via wrapper)
- On mount: Plugin checks if the Happy Ghast has a harness with Soul Speed
- Speed modifier: Automatically applied to the
FLYING_SPEEDattribute - Automatic cleanup: Modifier is removed when player dismounts
- Periodic updates: Speed is recalculated every 5 ticks for active riders
The plugin uses:
- Event-based logic (
EntityMountEvent,EntityDismountEvent) - Periodic updates (every 5 ticks = 0.25 seconds) for active riders only
- No tick loops for all players
- Efficient attribute modifier management
This is significantly more efficient than datapack solutions with tick functions.
- Server: Paper 1.21.10+ (or compatible Spigot/Paper forks)
- Entities: Happy Ghasts (
EntityType.HAPPY_GHAST) and regular Ghasts (EntityType.GHAST) - Harnesses: All 16 color variants supported (Black, Blue, Brown, Cyan, Gray, Green, Light Blue, Light Gray, Lime, Magenta, Orange, Pink, Purple, Red, White, Yellow)
