Spike Jump Builder

Quickstart

1. Create or load a world — Wulzy will greet you at world creation with guidance on getting started.
2. Look around for spike-filled lanes made of pointed dripstone. These spikes are the hazard element of the course.
3. Run and jump through the lanes, dashing past the spikes to test your reflexes and building skills.
4. Try switching modes to change how you interact with the course — building mode lets you construct your own spike lanes, while run/dash mode lets you test them out.
5. Use signs near the course area to read instructions, mode indicators, or status messages placed by the builder.

Overview

Spike Jump Builder turns your world into a playground for building and running spike-filled obstacle lanes. Guided by an in-world helper named Wulzy, players can construct dangerous corridors lined with dripstone spikes and then dash through them, testing timing and agility. The mod supports switching between different modes so you can build a course one moment and challenge yourself to run it the next.

What It Adds

• Wulzy — a guide entity that appears at world creation to help orient new players and explain the mode-switching system.
• Spike Lanes — corridors built using pointed dripstone blocks acting as spikes. These spikes do not physically block your movement the way they normally would, letting you dash directly through spike-filled lanes as part of the challenge.
• Mode Switching — a system allowing you to toggle between building your own lane layouts and running/dashing through them.
• In-World Signage — signs are used to display information, instructions, or status related to the course and current mode.
• Titles and Subtitles — on-screen title and subtitle text appear to communicate mode changes, progress, or important messages while playing.
• A Boss-Style Status Bar — a status/progress bar can appear on-screen, useful for tracking your run through a lane or course.

How To Use

• Starting Out: When you create a new world, Wulzy will appear and offer guidance. Follow along to learn the basic controls for building and running lanes.
• Switching Modes: Use the mode-switch interaction (triggered by interacting with Wulzy or through the provided prompts) to move between building a course and running/testing it.
• Building a Lane: In building mode, place pointed dripstone blocks to form spike-filled corridors. Since dripstone spikes have no collision in this mode's gameplay context, you can freely dash through completed lanes without being physically stopped by the spikes — the challenge is about speed and navigation, not blocked movement.
• Running a Lane: Switch to run/dash mode and sprint through your spike lane. Watch for on-screen titles, subtitles, and the status bar for feedback on your progress.
• Breaking Blocks: Interacting with and breaking blocks around the course is part of normal building — use this to adjust or expand your lanes.

Abilities And Mechanics

• No-Collision Spikes: Pointed dripstone blocks used in spike lanes do not physically obstruct movement, allowing players to dash straight through spike corridors as an intended feature of the mode.
• Mode System: The mod tracks whether you are in building mode or dash/run mode, changing how you interact with the world and course elements.
• On-Screen Feedback: Titles, subtitles, and a boss-style progress bar communicate key moments, such as starting a run, completing a lane, or switching modes.
• Movement-Based Challenge: Since collision is removed from spikes, the core challenge comes from speed, timing, and navigating tight lanes rather than avoiding physical obstruction.

Progression And Strategy

• Start by letting Wulzy guide you through the basics at world creation.
• Build increasingly complex spike lanes as you get comfortable with the building tools and mode switching.
• Practice dashing through your lanes to improve speed and precision, using the on-screen title/subtitle cues and status bar to track your runs.
• Experiment with lane layouts and spike density to create your own custom challenges for yourself or others.
