QuickDash

QuickDash 1.1.0

First release. A lightweight movement plugin that gives every player a directional air dash on double jump.

Features

• Directional dash on double jump. Press jump a second time in the air to launch in the direction you are moving.
  • W dashes forward
  • S dashes backward
  • A and D dash sideways
  • Diagonal key combinations dash diagonally
  • Standing still dashes in the direction you are looking
• Cooldown boss bar. A blue bar fills at the top of the screen while the dash recharges, then disappears the moment it is ready. No spam text.
• Fall damage protection. Fall damage is cancelled while a dash is still active so you can safely leap off ledges.
• Sound and particle feedback. A short whoosh and a cloud puff play at the dash location.
• Layout aware. Works with QWERTY, AZERTY, Dvorak, and any custom key bindings, because the plugin reads logical movement input rather than physical keys.
• Creative and Spectator safe. The dash is disabled in these game modes so it does not interfere with regular flight.

Configuration

Everything is tunable in config.yml, including:

• dash.cooldown-ms for how often you can dash
• dash.strength and dash.lift for how far and how high the dash goes
• dash.use-movement-direction to toggle directional dashing on or off
• dash.cancel-fall-damage to toggle fall damage protection
• effects.sound-enabled and effects.particles-enabled for the feedback effects
• bossbar.enabled to hide the cooldown bar entirely Recommended limits and stability notes are documented directly inside the config file.

Requirements

• Paper 1.21 or newer (uses the modern Player#getCurrentInput API)
• Java 25
