Sonic the hedgehog style boost pads in Minecraft?
		
		
						Is there a way using command blocks or plugins to alter a player's momentum (xyz) when they step on a pressure plate? /entitydata works for mobs, but unfortunately it does not affect players.
Best Answer
Use /entitydata to modify the motion tag of the entitiy:
/entitydata @e {Motion:[X,Y,Z]}
Note the XYZ is in double format, example:
/entitydata @e {Motion:[0.0,1.0,0.0]}

Answer 2
Use a command block with the command:
/effect @p minecraft:speed [duration] [level]
This adds a speed effect to the nearest player (so it would be best to play the command block directly under the pressure plate)
Duration is in seconds, level is the increase in speed (each level adds 20% speed, so level 5 is double speed)
