This one-command block contraption is a contest-submission for IJAMinecraft's "one command block" contest. Good luck to all participants!
If you think I should do a more in depth explanation of one of the contraptions, please let me know in the comments. This video namely merely shows off some of the features.

My commandblock contraption introduces (multiplayer friendly) "futuristic transport" in vanilla MC; specifically JumpPads (1:00 in video), Portals (1:50 in video) and Aircrafts (2:50 in video).
JumpPads are omni-directional jumping pads like in the server HiveMC. It employs creepers with a negative blastradius which is sharply timed based on 3 criteria to launch the player far into the air. Despite these strict criteria the system proved to be very consistent and intuitive in use.
Portals might seem not very spectacular at first, since they have been done a lot. But these employ an ID system. What this means is, is that every portal "couple" shares a unique ID. If a player enters a portal, a smart scoreboard trick quickly traces down the other portal it is coupled with, and teleports the player there. This ensures that a player can create (practically) endless amount of portals which all have a unique destination.
The Aircrafts are minecarts that are driven by a fireball. The fireballs direction of motion however is synced with the players orientation using a special trick. This enables a player to control an aircraft with great precision and considerable speed.
