What is PLJetPack?
PLJetPack is a production-ready, item-based jetpack plugin for Minecraft Paper servers.
Players use colored leather chestplates as jetpacks, each with its own tier, speed profile, height limit, and fuel tank.

No texture packs. No ItemsAdder dependency. Just install and play.


Why server owners choose PLJetPack

• ⚡ Performance-first design — physics only runs for active jetpack users
• ⛽ True fuel system — fuel is stored directly on each jetpack item
• ️ Fully configurable tiers — boost, hover, max height, fuel usage, permissions
• Admin fuel editor GUI — drag & drop fuel items into slots and save instantly
• ️ Exploit-conscious behavior — shift-click unequip handling + item safety logic
• Modern messaging — clean MiniMessage-formatted plugin output
