Powerups

What is a Powerup?

A powerup can be attained by picking up an enchanted book whilst in a race. Powerups give the player additional abilities to help them in the race. A player can only have one powerup at a time, to attain a new one they must first use or drop their current powerup.

• To use a powerup right click whilst the powerup icon is in your hand.
• To drop a powerup, simply use your drop item key.

To set where powerups exist in your race you use the following command: /mk addpowerup
