Its clear that we arent completely a survival server, with pvp, mob damage and opening other's chests off. But adding jetpacks would really digress from the loosely followed idea of survival held here. Interesting idea tho

Just saw gav's post, he made a very good point by saying that.
Actually, this is a very good idea. It is not overpowered like some suggestions can be. This presents fair and equal time and it waould be VERY handy for building things as Spikey said. I like the idea how normal crouch will still work and stuff. But we must also remember the downsides of this perk. People could use it to fly into a private area someone doesnt want you in and is too big to put a roof on (ex:NPC Village). Despite this I believe it would be better to have this than to not. I was recently building a Lighthouse (for a build competition) and it was REALLY difficult to get up and down it. This would make it where I could atleast get up to the top instead of risking my life on stairs (:P). daniblue was a person building next to me. As we should all know, he is a mod. I saw how easily it was for him to make a really high project compared to me. He and I had a good laugh when I was attempting to crouch and jump around some corners (no joke, ask him it was funny). So, overall, I believe this is a good idea to add on to commands for the server. But I am assuming that this would be a donor perk (I may be wrong). Sadly, my parents won't let me donate, although I have tons of $ and nothing to do with it. So, I think the staff should consider this anyways.

but yea

Trust me, I wanted to use jumping as the trigger for the jetpack, but there isn't really a player jump event in the bukkit library. Even if there was, there wouldn't be a way to get the state of the player's space bar. Really there isn't a way to get the state of the player's shift key either, but we just assume shift is being pressed when the player crouches (which it is). Plus crouching is a state which you can hold unlike jumping which is nothing more than a burst of velocity in the +Y direction.
Also, if you look a few posts up I posted a link to another thread. In the other thread is a rough version of the jetpacks implementation I'm talking about.

I have NOOOOOOOO idea what the hell you're talking about, but something about spaces not working for the key to fly? Well it would be awesome to double-tap space and you would fly, just like creative mode fly :)

No no, I wasn't trying to suggest creative mode flying at all on the server. This jetpack plugin would give you upwards propulsion when you sneak (provided you toggled your jetpack on using the /jetpack command), but it wouldn't just hold you up in the air. If you aren't using the jetpack, then gravity takes over and begins to make you fall again. If you don't slow down your descent enough then you will take fall damage when you hit the ground. Just like real life lol.
