# Getting Started with VehiclesPlus

Welcome to VehiclesPlus! This guide will walk you through installing the plugin, setting up the resource pack, and getting started with your first vehicle.

---
## Step 1: Plugin Installation

To use VehiclesPlus, follow these steps to install the plugin:

1. If you want to use the plugin's economy features, make sure you have installed [Vault](https://dev.bukkit.org/projects/vault) and an economy manager like [EssentialsX](https://essentialsx.net/downloads.html).
2. Download the plugin on [Spigot](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/vehiclesplus-1-13-1-21.70523/) or [Polymart](https://polymart.org/resource/vehiclesplus-1-12-1-20-2.633)
3. Put the JAR file into your `/plugins` folder.
4. Restart your server.

To verify the installation:
- Run `/plugins` in your server console or in-game to confirm that VehiclesPlus is loaded (it must be green).

## Step 2: Resourcepack Download

VehiclesPlus requires a resource pack for vehicles to display properly. We provide an **example resource pack** for your convenience, but we recommend creating your own to support custom vehicles and models.

### Using the Example Pack as a Server Resource Pack:
It's also possible to use our example pack as your server resourcepack.

**You can configure your server to use our example resource pack automatically:**
1. Open your `server.properties` file.
2. Copy the resource pack link for your version from the table above and paste it after `resource-pack=` in the file.
3. Copy the SHA1 hash for your version and paste it after `resource-pack-sha1=`.

Example:
```properties
resource-pack=https://git.sbdevelopment.tech/SBDevelopment/VehiclesPlus/raw/branch/master/ResourcePacks/Examples-v3/VPExample-v3-1.20.2.zip
resource-pack-sha1=da570a8a150a25706c0a885ac34fe4effa64f268
```

Save the file and restart your server.

## Step 3: Spawning Your First Vehicle

Once the plugin and resource pack are installed, you're ready to spawn your first vehicle:

1. **Give yourself a vehicle**
   Use the `/v give <player> <vehicle> [red] [green] [blue]` command to obtain a vehicle. Example: `/v give SBDevelopment ExampleCar`

2. **Place the Vehicle**
   Open the garage using `/vgarage` and left click the vehicle in the garage menu to spawn it.

3. **Drive the Vehicle**
   - Enter the vehicle by right-clicking on a seat.
   - Use shift right-click to open the vehicle menu.
   - Use your movement keys (WASD) when in a driver seat to drive.
