Run a Competitive Race Event

Launch the Race

Once all players are gathered and boats are registered, run /race prepare [name] to teleport everyone to the starting line and spawn their boats in Adventure mode. Players will see the live scoreboard appear on their sidebar, showing their current lap, checkpoint progress, and race position.

Start the Countdown

When ready, execute /race start [name]. If you've configured starting lights in the config file, colored stained glass will cycle through a countdown sequence. After 5 seconds, the race begins and the timer starts tracking.

Monitor and Finish

Players race through checkpoints while the scoreboard updates in real-time. As each player crosses the finish line, they're automatically moved to spectator mode so they can watch remaining racers. The race ends automatically when the last player finishes, and final standings are displayed. If needed, you can end early with /race end [name].
