Concepts

Matched pads and set pads, what a step reads, the cooldown, one throw per arrival, and the fall grace.

Four ideas carry the whole plugin: the pad type, the two ways a block becomes a pad, the throw, and the landing.

Two ways to be a pad

	Matched pad	Set pad
Made by	Building: the type's `block` on the type's `under`	`/uxmjumppads set <type>` on the block you stand on
Where	Everywhere on the server the blocks match	That one block
Needs the type's blocks	yes	no: any block can be set
Throws toward	Where the stepping player faces	Where the operator faced when they set it
Kept in	nothing: the world is the list	`pads.conf`

A set pad wins over a matched one on the same block.

What a step reads

A step is read when the player's feet reach a new block. The plugin looks at three blocks: the one at the feet, the floor under it, and the block under the floor.

Pad block	Is	Under it
A plate, a carpet, a button	the block at the feet	the floor
A full block, such as slime	the floor	the block under the floor

So a plate is walked into and a slime block is stood on, and one rule serves both. Standing still or turning on a pad throws nobody.

A player who is flying, gliding, riding, or in spectator mode is never thrown.

The throw

Rule	Why
A player is thrown once per arrival	Coming back down on the pad that threw them, without standing anywhere else, does not throw again, so a straight-up pad does not juggle a player forever
`cooldown-ms`, 750, between two throws of one player	A player inside a plate makes several moves; without the wait each would throw
A pad with a `permission` throws only its holders	Anyone else walks over it as over any block, and is told nothing

The landing

After a throw, the first fall within fall-damage.grace-ms (10 seconds) costs no health. The grace is spent on that fall: the next one is the player's own. A death or a quit drops it.
