I have created a Player Launch Pad in vanilla minecraft. When the players steps onto the launch pad, they will be launched into the air! This can be a great tool for a map-maker. The players will be launched the way that they are facing when they step onto the launch pad. Dowload the world for the mechanics of the Launch Pad and dowload the schematic to import individual launch pads.

This only works with the 1.8 snapshots.

You must download the world in order for the individual launch pads to work. The world comes with an already set up launch pad course to demonstrate how it works.

By editing the number in the command blocks under the individual launch pads you can adjust the power of the launch pads. Higher numbers will launch the player farther.
