RideOperate

Professional ride operations for Minecraft theme parks

Build interactive control panels, place 3D operator panels in your park, and manage ride cameras from inside Minecraft. RideOperate is designed for theme-park and attraction servers that want a practical operator workflow without leaving the game.

Features

• Create inventory control panels with custom buttons, materials, lore and commands.
• Spawn persistent 3D world-panel models using a Panel Spawner sign.
• Use [rppanel] signs for quick panel access.
• See button names in the action bar while looking at a world panel.
• Group multiple cameras by attraction.
• View cameras in game, switch cameras, exit safely and toggle night vision.
• Manage cameras and attractions through commands and GUIs.
• Save camera locations, direction, status and attraction membership in cameras.yml.
• Configure API key and port settings for external applications.
• Delegate staff access with permissions.

Requirements

• Paper 1.20.4 or compatible 1.20+
• Java 17+
• ProtocolLib (required)

Install and get started

1. Install ProtocolLib and place RideOperate.jar in the server's plugins folder.
2. Restart the server and adjust plugins/RideOperate/config.yml if needed.

4. Add a control: /rpaddbutton <panel> <button> <material>.
5. Assign its action: /rpaddcommand <panel> <button> <command>.
6. Run /spawnpanel <panel> and place the Panel Spawner sign to create the 3D panel.

Permissions

rideoperate.* grants all registered permissions. Use rideoperate.camera.* for camera administration and rideoperate.attraction.* for attraction administration. Panel-specific permissions include rideoperate.createpanel, rideoperate.deletepanel, rideoperate.addbutton, rideoperate.deletebutton, rideoperate.changeitem, rideoperate.setlore, rideoperate.addcommand, rideoperate.spawnpanel, rideoperate.deletepanelmodel and rideoperate.execute.*.

Camera permissions: rideoperate.camera.view, create, delete, rename, teleport, movehere, enable, disable, next, previous, nightvision, group, view.disabled and debug.

Attraction permissions: rideoperate.attraction.create, delete, rename, info, list and gui.

Viewing permissions are generally available by default; management permissions default to operators.

Storage and API settings

Camera and attraction data is stored in plugins/RideOperate/cameras.yml, so it survives restarts. Generate an API key with /genapikey; the port is configured in config.yml (default: 5555).
