CarouselDismountEvent

The CarouselDismountEvent is triggered right before a player’s attempt to dismount a horse that is part of a Carousel is fully processed. This event is highly useful for intercepting the interaction to keep players on the ride, trigger post-ride effects, or manage custom gameplay mechanics.

---

Technical Overview

• Parent Class: CarouselEvent
• Cancellable: Yes

Note

If this event is cancelled, the underlying dismount is prevented. This means the player will remain mounted on the Carousel horse, and no dismount sounds or default messages will be sent.

---

Methods

Since this event extends CarouselEvent, you have access to getCarousel() in addition to the following specific methods:

Method	Return Type	Description
getPlayer()	Player	Gets the Bukkit Player who is attempting to dismount the Carousel horse.
isCancelled()	boolean	Returns whether the dismount attempt has been cancelled by a plugin.
setCancelled(boolean)	void	Sets the cancellation state of this event.

---

Common Use Cases

• Forced Rides: Prevent players from leaving the carousel until the ride has fully finished or a specific timer has elapsed.
• Post-Ride Rewards: Give the player a special item, buff, or message immediately after they successfully dismount.
• Area Management: Teleport players to a specific exit point upon dismounting to prevent them from glitching into surrounding blocks.

Example Usage

The following example demonstrates how to listen for this event and give the player a temporary speed boost when they finish riding the carousel.

import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.potion.PotionEffect;
import org.bukkit.potion.PotionEffectType;

public class CarouselInteractionListener implements Listener {

    @EventHandler
    public void onCarouselDismount(CarouselDismountEvent event) {
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        String carouselId = event.getCarousel().getId();

        // Check if the event was cancelled by another plugin
        if (event.isCancelled()) return;

        // Send a thank you message
        player.sendMessage("§aThanks for riding the " + carouselId + " carousel!");

        // Give the player a short speed boost after the ride (10 seconds, amplifier 1)
        player.addPotionEffect(new PotionEffect(PotionEffectType.SPEED, 200, 1));
    }
}
