Easy Launch Pads for your Minecraft server: set up and configure with a pressure plate and a sign!

Dependencies

• Create launch pads easily with a pressure plate and a sign
  • Works with any type of sign & pressure plate combination!

  # The type of the launchpad
  # Possible values: REGULAR, LOOK
  # "REGULAR" launchpads launch players based on velocities
  # -> <x>,<y>,<z>
  # "LOOK" launchpads launch players based on the direction they look
  # -> <power>,<offset> which works great with 2,1 for example
  type: REGULAR
  # Different effects the launchpad can have
  effects:
   # Sound effect where type is the sound effect name
   # and volume & pitch are the volume and pitch of the sound effect

     type: ENTITY_FIREWORK_ROCKET_SHOOT
     volume: 1.0
     pitch: 1.0
   # Particle effect where type is the particle effect name
   # and amount is the amount of particles

   particle:
     type: FLAME
     amount: 1
     delay: 1

Usage
To create a launchpad, you place a sign under a block with a pressure plate. On the sign you write the preset you want to use and its parameters.

Here's what a sign should look like:

1st line: [launch]
2nd line: the preset you want to use (e.g. default)
3rd line: launchpad data (e.g. for REGULAR type launchpad 1,1,0)
