About

uPlanes is a plugin which adds smooth, fly-able planes to Minecraft. It works by taking control of Minecart entities and letting you control them!

Flying a Plane

Crafting

Planes are crafted using the following recipe:
Plane Recipe
However you can also make Hover Planes which are crafted with this recipe:
Hover Plane Recipe

Upgrading

When made Planes will have randomly generated Stats such as Health, Speed and their Name. These can be edited later on using the upgrade tool.
To upgrade a plane, place the plane in the left slot of an anvil, any upgrades you want in the middle slot and use the bar at the top to rename it.
Upgrades are as following:

Upgrade	Stat	Modifier
Iron Blocks	Health	+9
Iron Ingots	Health	+1
Redstone Blocks	Speed	+9
Redstone Dust	Speed	+1

Flying

Now you are able to fly your plane! Simply place it down with a right click and hop in!

The controls

The controls for the Plane are simple and effective.

Control	Function
Mouse	Dictate the direction to fly the plane
'W'/Forwards	Move the plane forwards
'A'/Left	Move the plane upwards
'S'/Right	Move the plane downwards
'D'/Backwards	Move the plane backwards
'Left Shift'	Dismount

Safe Exit

It is well known in Minecraft that Minecarts can be used to 'glitch' through walls. However on some server, you may not want this. So, if you turn on safeExit in the config, the plugin will ensure that post-exit you are teleported to the exact location that the plane was at and also block you exiting whilst the car is inside a block. By default safeExit is turned off.

Shops

Shops allow you to buy planes for the amount specified in the config. To use Shops you need 'Vault' installed (For the economy support). Planes bought in the shop have random stats and sometimes are great, other times are less so.
To make a shop, write the following on a sign:
sign
Then place a chest above, when the chest is opened. The shop GUI will open.

See in action

API

uPlanes has an extensive API to allow other plugins to interact with and modify planes.
The Javadoc for the API can be found on Jenkins, here.

For use with Maven; the uPlanes repo url is: 'http://repository-storm345dev.forge.cloudbees.com/release/', the group id is: 'net.stormdev', the artifactId is 'uPlanes' and I recommend you build it with the version set to 'LATEST'.
For example:

<repositories>
    <repository>
	 <id>Storm-repo</id>
	 <url>http://repository-storm345dev.forge.cloudbees.com/release/</url>
    </repository>
    ...
</repositories>
<dependencies>
     <dependency>
    	<groupId>net.stormdev</groupId>
   	<artifactId>uPlanes</artifactId>
   	<version>LATEST</version>
