+# FastCarAPI
+
+A comprehensive vehicle management API for Minecraft servers using PaperMC. FastCarAPI provides a robust framework for creating, managing, and interacting with various types of vehicles in the Minecraft world.
+
+## Features
+
+### Vehicle Types
+- **Cars** - Combustion and electric vehicles
+- **Motorcycles** - Powered two-wheelers
+- **Scooters** - Combustion and electric scooters
+- **Bicycles** - Standard and electric (pedelec) bicycles
+- **Helicopters** - Aircraft with vertical takeoff capabilities
+
+### Core Features
+- **Unique Identification** - Each vehicle has a unique license plate
+- **Customizable Models** - Support for custom vehicle designs with materials and custom model data
+- **Color System** - Full vehicle color customization
+- **Physics Engine** - Realistic vehicle physics including:
+  - Air resistance
+  - Mass and weight
+  - Brake force
+  - Grip and traction
+- **Power Systems**
+  - Combustion engines (refuelable)
+  - Electric motors (rechargeable)
+- **Storage Capabilities** - Vehicles can have storage compartments
+- **Tire Management** - Durability tracking for tires
+- **Event System** - Vehicle spawn, vanish, and penalty events
+- **Parking & Garages** - Garage system with parking tickets
+- **Administration** - Penalty and fine management
+- **Component System** - Support for seats, addons, and attachments with custom positioning
+
+## Requirements
+
+- **Java 21** or higher
+- **PaperMC 1.21.3** or compatible version
+- **MineValley CoreAPI 1.300.2** or higher
+
+## Installation
+
+### Maven
+
+Add the MineValley GitHub repository to your `pom.xml`:
+
+```xml
+<repositories>
+    <repository>
+        <id>github</id>
+        <url>https://maven.pkg.github.com/MineValley/FastCarAPI</url>
+    </repository>
+</repositories>
+```
+
+Add the dependency:
+
+```xml
+<dependency>
+    <groupId>minevalley.fastcar</groupId>
+    <artifactId>api</artifactId>
+    <version>0.1.6</version>
+</dependency>
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+FastCarAPI uses a provider pattern for accessing the API functionality. The API is designed to be implemented by a FastCar plugin, and then accessed through the API interfaces.
+
+### Accessing Vehicles
+
+Vehicles are accessed through their interfaces, which provide methods for:
+- Getting and changing vehicle properties (color, owner, model)
+- Accessing physics objects for world interaction
+- Managing vehicle state (spawned, parked, etc.)
+
+### Vehicle Hierarchy
+
+```
+Vehicle (base interface)
+├── RechargeableVehicle (electric vehicles - mixin)
+├── RefuelableVehicle (combustion vehicles - mixin)
+├── StorageVehicle (vehicles with storage - mixin)
+├── Car (base for cars, extends StorageVehicle)
+│   ├── ElectricCar (extends Car, RechargeableVehicle)
+│   └── CombustionCar (extends Car, RefuelableVehicle)
+├── Motorcycle (extends RefuelableVehicle, StorageVehicle)
+├── ElectricScooter (extends RechargeableVehicle, StorageVehicle)
+├── CombustionScooter (extends RefuelableVehicle, StorageVehicle)
+├── Bicycle
+├── Pedelec (extends RechargeableVehicle)
+└── Helicopter (extends RefuelableVehicle, StorageVehicle)
+```
+
+### Models and Manufacturing
+
+Each vehicle type has a corresponding model interface that defines:
+- Available colors
+- Physical dimensions and properties
+- Tire specifications
+- Seat and component configurations
+- Custom model data for rendering
+
+## Events
+
+The API provides events for tracking vehicle lifecycle:
+- `VehicleSpawnEvent` - When a vehicle spawns in the world
+- `VehicleVanishEvent` - When a vehicle despawns
+- `PenaltyIssuedEvent` - When a penalty is issued to a vehicle owner
