The Brooms plugin introduces various custom brooms to the server, allowing players to traverse the world at high speeds and participate in matches of Broomball.
Obtaining a Broom
Section titled “Obtaining a Broom”Brooms can be purchased from various vendors across the world. The main vendors are located in Wixing Way, London, and Subyork.
Players without a broom can still participate in official Broomball matches, as Knockturn Academy provides brooms specifically for use during these matches. These brooms are only available for the duration of the match and are not kept afterwards.
How to Use a Broom
Section titled “How to Use a Broom”To mount and operate a broom, ensure it is equipped in your hand and follow these controls:
- Mounting: Hold the broom in your hand and type
upin the server chat. - Acceleration: Hold Spacebar to increase your flight speed.
- Deceleration: Hold Shift to slow down.
- Steering: Use the standard WASD keys in conjunction with your mouse movements to guide your flight path.
- Dismounting: Press your drop item key (Default: Q) to dismount.
Broom Levels & Perks
Section titled “Broom Levels & Perks”Riding your broom awards flight experience, which actively increases your personal Broom Level.
- Progression: Certain advanced brooms require you to meet a specific level requirement before they can be ridden. The maximum broom level requirement is Level 25.
- Perks: Reaching tier milestones unlocks unique flight buffs, such as enhanced turning capabilities or increased takeoff speed. The final progression perk is achieved at level 200. You can view your current progress and unlocked buffs at any time by running the
/broomlevelcommand. - Broomball Constraint: To ensure a fair competitive environment, all broom levels and statistical perks are automatically disabled during Broomball matches.
Broom Stats
Section titled “Broom Stats”Every broom model features distinct, intrinsic attributes that alter its performance and flight dynamics.
- Acceleration: How quickly the broom builds up to its top velocity.
- Deceleration: How rapidly the broom sheds speed when slowing down.
- Maximum Speed: The absolute top speed cap the broom can attain.
- Natural Drag: The percentage rate at which the broom naturally bleeds speed when drifting.
- Grip: How securely you sit on the handle, determining how easy or difficult it is to be knocked off.
- Max Turning Threshold: The maximum angle you can turn the broom before it begins losing momentum.
- Turn Friction: The rate at which flight speed drops off during sharp, tight banking maneuvers.
- Resilience: The waiting period required before you are allowed to remount your broom after dismounting.
- Impact Resistance: Dictates how much damage or blindness duration you suffer if you fall or get knocked off.
- Altitude Ceiling: The maximum height threshold the broom is capable of climbing to.
Broom Families
Section titled “Broom Families”Certain brooms belong to named families. Members of the same family share inherent traits, meaning they will naturally excel in certain stat categories over brooms from other families. Brooms that do not belong to a family are not beholden to any shared traits and instead possess entirely unique stats.
