PlayerRider

PlayerRider is a very simple plugin for Spigot (Minecraft server) which allows you to ride other players. You can also make towers by riding a player who already rides another, and organize funny run because the rider can whip the player to give him a temporary boost.

How to use it?

Right click on a player to ride him. Press the sneak key to get off.

You can ride a player if:

• You have the permission playerrider.ride
• This player has the permission playerrider.duck (and didn't disabled it, see commands)
• You are not in a vehicle / already on a player`
• Your hand contains one of the allowed items (configurable)

To get off a player, simply use the crounch / sneak key (shift by default). If you right click on a player who bears (an)other player(s), you will appear on the top of them.

When riding a player:

You can whip him by right clicking on his head while holding one the allowed items (also configurable). This will give him a speed boost you can adjust in the configuration. You need the permission playerrider.whip for this.

When being rided:

If you have the permission playerrider.ride, you can eject your rider by raise up your head and right click on him.

Requirements

You need a Spigot / PaperSpigot, version 1.13 (only tested with 1.13.2). There is no plugin dependencies.

Previous version

I did this plugin in 2012, as an easter egg, players on the server I was got tons of fun with it (we mainly used it on new guys who are not correct). So I've decided to extract this part, and shared it as an independent plugin on Bukkit.org page.

TODO

Because hitboxes have changed, the player ridden can see his rider's legs. I will work soon to improve this not to reduce the FOV. But the plugin is fully working except this visual effect.
