Ride Styles

Ride Styles

Existing six-style baseline

Every ride uses the same server-authoritative movement, trick, grind, wall-ride, world-physics, and loadout architecture. The differences are handling identities rather than isolated vehicle systems.

Style	Identity	Best at	Tradeoff
Neo Inline Skates	Fast, direct street flow	Balanced speed, technical air lines, classic soul/royale grind vocabulary	Less steering than quad skates
Neon Quad Skates	Playful, dance-forward rolling	Tight steering, ground style, cross-steps, stable transitions	Lower raw top speed
Street Deck	Committed board lines	Strong grind multiplier, flips, slides, ledge creativity	More deliberate steering and air correction
Street BMX	Power and gap coverage	Highest raw cruise/boost range, large jumps, pegs and bike tricks	Lower grind multiplier and a larger visual footprint
Flux Hoverboard	Smooth futuristic flow	Air correction, magnetic-feeling grinds, strong coasting	Slightly below BMX's maximum boost ceiling
Neon Street Scooter	Nimble technical riding	Fast steering, tailwhips/barspins, compact transfers	Less raw speed than BMX and slightly less grind focus than boards

Dedicated loadout

Ride gear is stored as the real ItemStack in a persistent player capability. It does not consume a hand or the vanilla boots slot. This is why JetSetCraft can preserve combat input, equipment NBT, enchantments, death drops, save/load behavior, and future cosmetic upgrades without pretending the gear is a separate vehicle entity.

Footwear enchantments

Inline and quad skates can accept Frost Walker, Soul Speed, Depth Strider, and Feather Falling through JetSetCraft's dedicated slot. The implementation composes with vanilla armor enchantments using max-not-sum behavior where appropriate, preventing accidental double stacking while retaining Minecraft's movement language.

Visual equipment

All six styles have generated high-detail OBJ geometry. The hoverboard is a dedicated wheel-free model with field generators, luminous rails, and stabilizer fins; it no longer reuses the skateboard mesh. Scooter, BMX, board, skate, and spray-can models also exceed the project's production mesh quality floor.

Approved expansion: seven additional styles

These are approved development requirements, not claims of released or tested gameplay. Preserve the original six above.

New style	Handling identity and trick vocabulary	Terrain / challenge fit	Key customizable parts
Snowboard	Edge carving, buttering, grabs, spins, switch landings and rail transfers	Snowy mountains, ice-biome event courses and snowparks	Deck, top/base graphics, edges, bindings and stance
Wingsuit	Controlled gliding, banks, dives, proximity lines and air-to-ground trick transitions	Cliffs, canyons, aerial races and carefully bounded boss arenas	Wing/suit panels, fabric/art, harness and compatible boostpack attachment
Skis	Twin-ski control, slalom, crossed-ski tricks, grabs and switch riding	Snow routes with distinct lines from snowboard courses	Ski pair, bindings, attachment cosmetics and optional poles
Ice Skates	Quick edge cuts, crossovers, spins and synchronized dance	Frozen lakes, ice races and skating choreography	Boots, blades, holders, laces and blade trails
Mountain Bike	Suspension landings, whips, scrubs, climbs and rough downhill lines	Forest, mountain, dirt and rocky routes	Frame, fork/shock, gears/drivetrain, wheels/tires, brakes, bars, saddle and pedals
Aquatic Carveboard	Surface carving, breach jumps, underwater slaloms and barrel rolls	Ocean/water-mob challenges and surface-to-submerged routes	Hull/deck, fins, pads, propulsion module, wake and underwater trail
Mountainboard	Off-road carving, powerslides, grabs and rough-ground jumps	Dirt trails, roots, forest gaps and natural terrain	Deck, trucks, pneumatic wheels/tires, bearings and bindings

Wingsuit combinations: Wingsuits must work with every ride, including ride + wingsuit + boostpack builds. Launch from a grind/ramp/jump/water breach, glide and perform aerial tricks, then land back into the ride without resetting the combo just for switching movement modes. Wings fold underwater, with explicit breach-to-glide transitions. The crafting recipe must consume a vanilla elytra, preserving supported enchantments, name and durability through an input-aware, duplication-safe upgrade. Detailed combination and crafting requirements.

Aquatic Carveboard is a specialist; other compatible rides still support the requested underwater skating and tricks. Wingsuit flight is a distinct movement mode with explicit equipment compatibility, not an excuse to overwrite vanilla armor or backpack slots.

Earnable, customizable boostpack

The boostpack is a major progression reward usable with compatible ride builds. Unlock it through crew challenges, then customize its shell, engine/core, thrusters/nozzles, stabilizers, harness, colors, graffiti, name, lighting, exhaust/trail and sound.

Wingsuit + boostpack unlocks the powered-flight combination alongside every ride: take off, climb, sustain forward flight, bank, dive, air-brake, air-dash and land smoothly, with hovering/control where appropriate. Boostpack alone provides punchy bursts, boost tricks and controlled aerial dashes; wingsuit alone provides unpowered gliding. Once both are acquired, their flight combination needs no third hidden unlock. Default free-roam tuning should support long, enjoyable combined flight rather than constant refueling or forced landing. Distinct clean tricks reward stronger bursts, efficiency and advanced maneuvers. Momentum, transitions and variety should capture the satisfying feel studied in Bomb Rush Cyberfunk and HYPERFUNK, with original tested implementation, responsive controls and reliable high-speed collision. Support compatible wingsuit-plus-pack builds and preserve ordinary backpack/armor integration.

Full per-part ride customization

The workshop must support physical component swaps as well as color and art:

• Inline/quad skates: boots, frames/plates, wheels, bearings, laces, grind hardware and applicable stops/trucks.
• Skateboards: deck, grip art, trucks, wheels, bearings and hardware.
• BMX: frame, fork, bars/grips, wheels/tires/hubs, saddle, crank, pedals, chain, gear ratio and pegs.
• Hoverboards: body, engine/core, thrusters, field generators, fins, luminous trim, trail and sound.
• Scooters: deck/grip, bars/grips, fork, clamp, wheels, bearings, brake and pegs.
• New styles: equivalent individual parts shown in the table above.

Per-part paint/finish, decals/tags, naming, gang signature art and saved builds belong in one live-preview workshop. Cosmetics and handling choices remain independently selectable.

Enchanting-table and combat goals

Every complete ride should support its appropriate vanilla enchanting-table, enchanted-book, anvil/rename and grindstone workflows. Enchantments remain attached to the real ride item through component swaps and cannot be duplicated. Extend meaningful vanilla enchantments and add tested movement enchantments such as Railrunner, Airweave, Tidecarver and Trick Capacitor.

The approved combat loop is skate → dodge → trick → replenish ammunition → attack → chain the next line, including explicit TaCZ integration. Server-validated successful tricks grant ammo rewards with variety incentives, clear HUD feedback, reload/ammo-type compatibility and anti-duplication checks. Support event presets and configurable free-roam survival behavior.

Detailed implementation requirements

• Approved Rides, Boostpack and Trick Combat
• Ride Workshop, Parts and Enchantments
• Primary-source Ride Research and New Styles

Quality gate: keep vanilla-compatible movement selectable; preserve each ride's identity, survival persistence and multiplayer behavior; improve startup/runtime performance in parallel and verify frame-time lows without removing capabilities. Documentation approval is not implementation completion.
