## Game Mechanics

Once a parkour has started, jump from block to block and reach the finish flag to complete the parkour! You may also find checkpoint flags on the way. They save your position and you will respawn on the flag if you die. To respawn, click  Respawn, found in the 1st hot bar slot.

Some parkours may have Jump Pads, a tool used in other game modes that launch the player in the direction the arrow is pointing.

Some parkours may have Power Ups, a tool used in prop hunt that gives the player a potion effect based on what the creator decides. The potion effects you can choose from are Speed, Slowness, Jump Boost, Blindness, Levitation, Slow Falling, and Clear Effects. The different durations include 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 30 seconds, and 1 minute. You can also apply levels of a potion effect, from level I to level III.

Beware, as parkours have time limits that differ from parkour to parkour! Running out of time will send you back to the start of the level and reset all checkpoints and the timer. Be sure to beat the parkour before time runs out! You can select start over, which restarts the parkour you are on. All checkpoints you may have gotten to as well as the timer are reset.

###  Parkour Menu

This can be found in the 8th slot of your hot bar while on any parkour map.

Using this shows information about the map you are on including personal best time, % of players who completed the map, % of players who like the map and much more! As well as this you are able to either like  or dislike  any map, if a map has a large number of dislikes it will no longer appear to players.

You are also able to favorite maps , your favorite maps will be listed under My Favorites when you go to select a parkour to play. Other players will also be able to see what maps you have favorited if they punch you in the game lobby.

By selecting Next Parkour you are taken to a new parkour map of the same difficulty you had selected.

Return to Parkour Lobby takes you back to the game lobby.

## Build

To build a map, visit the build option and create a new map! to start you need it to enter a name for your map, press submit and begin building!

The parkour area can either be chosen to be a flat plane or a void. Both are identical where the ground kills the player, however the ground is made out of invisible barrier blocks in the void and is made out of grass blocks in flat. The game also gives an option for the size of the parkour area, regular (56x56) or large(80x80). Players currently have a maximum of 2 slots for building their own parkours, however more can be purchased. After the type and size has been selected, you are placed in the world and given creative mode, where you are free to build any parkour of your dreams. many blocks from the creative menu are enabled, however, some blocks are made available only after being purchased using Parkour coins.

Once you have finished building you may start publish attempt where you will have to complete it your own parkour to prove that it is possible. We recommend that you make parkours that you are able to beat yourself! To start a publish attempt, you must have the start flag and the finish flags placed. Once you have successfully completed your own parkour, your map is ready to be published and released for the community to try out! Once a level has been published, it can no longer be edited, however it can still be cloned, renamed and deleted.

The difficulty of maps published will automatically be assigned based on the win %.

Players can like or dislike maps with the  Parkour Menu. If a map gets a large amount of dislikes the map will no longer be chosen for players.

###  Mechanic Spawn

This allows you to spawn in flags and game mechanics such as jump pads.

Once you select what you want to spawn in a Flag placer item will be spawned into your inventory and you are able to place these on your map.

*Note: flags and some game mechanics can't be placed on the floor or lower and must be on a higher block. Only one of the start and end flags can be placed. To remove a flag, simply punch it.*

### Using the  Parkour Options

Manual saves save the progress of your build all you need to do is click it. This prevents any progress on your build from being lost if you leave or a server is reset. The game also Autosaves every few minuets so you don't need to worry about large amounts of progress from being lost.

Settings: You are able to change the time of day, change the time limit or change the name of your map.

Start Publish Attempt: Once you have finished building you must complete the parkour yourself before the map is made public.

### Game mechanics

To edit game mechanics while building punch them and a menu will appear.

Flags can have their activation radius changed. Starting at 0.5 and increasing by 0.5 until 3. This means that if the activation radius of a flag is 3 a player needs to be within 3 blocks of the flag for it to be activated .

Builders can choose how far **Jump Pads** boost players. The jump distance choices are **low**, **medium** and **high.**

Another Mechanic is **Power Ups**. Effects builders can choose from are Speed, Slowness, Jump Boost, Blindness, Levitation, Slow Falling, and clear effects. multiple effects can be selected per power up. The builder can also choose the duration of the powerup effect lasting 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 30 seconds and 1 minute. Finally the builder can decide what level of effect the power up will have. for example level 1 jump boost will jump less high than a level 3 jump boost.

**Portals** are another game mechanic builders can use in their parkours. When a player comes in contact with a portal they get teleported to the matching colored portal. Builders can choose between 8 colors for their portals, there needs to be 2 portals of the same color to connect them.

**Respawn blocks** are invisible blocks that sends the player that touches them back to their last checkpoint.
