FAQ

Right-clicking sand does nothing

Check that:

  • Your main hand is empty.
  • There is water right beside the block, on the same level.
  • There is no water on top of the block. Underwater sand and gravel never give stones.
  • The block has not already been picked. Sifted blocks sit a little lower than normal ones.

My stone sank straight away

Either the marker was in the red, or your aim was too far off. Look slightly down at the water, not up at the sky. See Throwing.

Do I lose the stone?

Only if it sinks. If it hits land or a mob, it drops as an item where it landed.

My experience bar disappeared

The power meter covers the experience bar only while you are holding right-click with a stone. It comes back as soon as you let go.

Why do my stones not stack?

Stones only stack with stones of the same quality.

No firework when I set a record

Your very first counted throw sets a record without a firework, since there was nothing to beat. Red releases never count.

Where are records stored?

In the world save, in data/skippingstone/skip_records.dat. They are separate for every world. The Statistics screen and scoreboard objectives are copies kept in sync with it.

Does it need to be on the server?

Yes. Install it on both the server and every client, together with CoolerConfig.
