# BoatParty

An ice-and-boat lap racing minigame for [PaperMC](https://papermc.io/), targeting the latest
Minecraft server API (Paper 26.2).

## How it works

Build an ice track, place checkpoints along it, and race other players in boats for the
fastest lap times over a configurable number of laps.

## Commands (`/boatparty`, alias `/bp`)

| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| `/bp create <name>` | Create a new race |
| `/bp delete <name>` | Delete a race |
| `/bp setlobby <name>` | Set the waiting-area location (your current position) |
| `/bp setstart <name>` | Set the race start/grid location |
| `/bp addcheckpoint <name>` | Append a checkpoint at your current position |
| `/bp removecheckpoint <name>` | Remove the last checkpoint |
| `/bp setlaps <name> <n>` | Set number of laps |
| `/bp setminplayers <name> <n>` | Minimum players required to auto-start the countdown |
| `/bp setcountdown <name> <seconds>` | Countdown length before a race begins |
| `/bp setradius <name> <blocks>` | Checkpoint trigger radius |
| `/bp join <name>` / `/bp leave` | Join or leave a race |
| `/bp start <name>` / `/bp stop <name>` | Force-start or stop a race (admin) |
| `/bp list` / `/bp info <name>` | List races / show race details |

The last checkpoint added also serves as the finish line — crossing it completes a lap.
