Minecraft plugin Parkour

🔌 About the Parkour plugin

Parkour — is a Minecraft plugin that provides a full-featured parkour system for Spigot/Paper servers. Parkour enables creation of unlimited courses with checkpoints, time tracking, death counts, leaderboards and configurable rewards. Parkour solves the need for a maintained, feature-rich parkour system that integrates with other server plugins and is highly configurable. Parkour is widely used on Spigot/CurseForge and is published as open‑source on GitHub.

🎯 Purpose

• Provide an extensible parkour framework for Minecraft server owners and admins.
• Track player times and deaths, present leaderboards and reward completions.
• Allow per-course customization of blocks, checkpoints and restrictions.

⚙ Core features

• Unlimited courses and checkpoints.
• Time tracking and death counting with per-course leaderboards.
• Configurable rewards and economy integration via Vault.
• PlaceholderAPI support for placeholders and external display integrations.
• Sign and hologram (via PlaceholderAPI) integration for in‑game UI.
• Extensive configuration files and editable messages (strings.yml). ()

🧩 Who it's for

⚙ Installation

📥 Installation

• Download the Parkour .jar from an official source (Spigot/CurseForge/GitHub releases).
• Place the .jar into the server's plugins/ folder.
• Fully restart the server (do not use /reload).
• Check console to confirm Parkour loaded without errors. ()

📦 Dependencies

• Vault — optional, for economy rewards and charging players. ()
• PlaceholderAPI — supported for placeholders and hologram displays. ()
• BountifulAPI — used for older versions to support titles/actionbar on legacy servers. ()

(Only the above dependencies are explicitly referenced in official sources; other integrations are documented on the plugin page.)

🧾 Configuration

• Parkour generates its configuration folder on first run (e.g., /plugins/Parkour/).
• The plugin provides editable strings.yml and course files; many settings are configurable via YAML.
• Official sources do not list MySQL/SQLite as primary storage; leaderboard/time data appears to be stored in plugin data files. For DB-backed setups, check the official docs for available storage options. ()

🧠 Additional information

• Known integrations: Vault, PlaceholderAPI and multiple community addons/plugins are referenced by the author. ()
• Conflicts: As with any plugin that registers commands and event listeners, conflicts can occur with other plugins that use identical command aliases or overwrite the same events (chat, signs). Test on staging before production.
