Speed boost

Paying to run one build faster for a while.

A boost multiplies one build's speed for a fixed time. Players buy it from the build's menu or with /builders boost [id]; buying again extends it.

How it works

Step	Detail
Buy	Costs `boost.price` from the buyer, the owner or a trusted player
Run	The build's speed is multiplied by `boost.multiplier` until the time runs out
Extend	Buying again adds `boost.durationSeconds`, up to `boost.maxDurationSeconds` left
Cap	`performance.blocksPerTick` still applies; a boost never exceeds the server ceiling

Only a building or queued job can be boosted. A boost on a queued job starts counting immediately, so it pays to boost a build that is already running.

Settings

Key	Default	Meaning
`boost.enabled`	`true`	Hide the button and refuse the command when off
`boost.multiplier`	`2.0`	The speed multiplier
`boost.durationSeconds`	`300`	Time one purchase adds
`boost.maxDurationSeconds`	`1800`	The most time a build can have left
`boost.price`	`500.0`	Price per purchase; free when no economy is installed

Notes

The boost runs on the clock, not on build time: it keeps counting while the build is paused, and across a restart.
The job menu's boost button shows the time left while a boost runs.
Other plugins can change the price or refuse a boost through BuildBoostEvent; see the developer API.
Every purchase is written to the audit log.
