Pokemon Fly Transitions

About

Pokemon Fly Transitions transforms supported teleports into cinematic Fly-inspired journeys instead of instant location changes.

Your camera pulls away as the player is carried off, the teleport happens during the transition, and the animation brings you smoothly back down at your destination.

With Cobblemon 1.8.1+, the mod can go even further by rendering a compatible flying Pokémon from your actual party using Cobblemon’s native 3D model system.

Cobblemon remains completely optional. Without it, Pokemon Fly Transitions automatically uses its built-in flying bird visual.

Highlights

• 🪽 Cinematic Teleports: Turn supported commands, Waystones and integrations into smooth Fly-style transitions.
• 🐉 Native Cobblemon Pokémon: Display the selected flying-compatible Pokémon from your party directly inside the animation.
• ✨ Real Pokémon Appearance: Species, form and visual aspects are synchronized for the rendered Cobblemon model.
• 🐦 Automatic Fallback: No Cobblemon or unavailable Pokémon model? The built-in bird transition takes over automatically.
• 🏠 Teleport Commands: Works with supported /home, /warp, /spawn, /tp and similar teleport systems.
• 🗿 Waystones Support: Native support for Waystones on NeoForge and Wraith Waystones on Fabric.
• 🗺️ Map Teleport Integration: Optional support for teleporting through compatible map systems to locations the player has already explored.
• 🛬 Safe Landing Checks: Map travel searches for a valid nearby landing position instead of blindly placing the player.
• 🧬 Optional Pokémon Requirement: Servers can require a Flying-compatible Pokémon, and optionally reject fainted Pokémon.
• 🛡️ Transition Protection: Configurable server-side invulnerability protects players during the animation and for a short grace period afterward.
• 👤 Per-Player Preference: Players can individually enable or disable Fly animations with /pft animation.
• ⚙️ Flexible Server Rules: Exclude specific teleport commands, control cross-dimension Waystones and configure supported travel systems.
• 🔗 Integration API: Other mods can trigger Fly transitions or register compatible teleport sources.
• 🧩 Fabric & NeoForge: Full support for both loaders.

Supported Integrations

Pokemon Fly Transitions is designed to enhance supported travel systems without taking control of every teleport in the game.

Current integrations include:

• Cobblemon 1.8.1+
• Waystones on NeoForge
• Wraith Waystones on Fabric
• FTB Essentials
• JourneyMap on supported setups
• Xaero’s Minimap
• Xaero’s World Map
• ReForgedPlay / Replay compatibility
• Supported command-based teleport systems
• Custom integrations through the public API

Unknown or unrelated teleport sources remain untouched by default.

Normal portals, death, respawning, Ender Pearls, Chorus Fruit and standard vanilla dimension travel are not converted into Fly transitions.

Configuration

Client and server options are kept separate.

Players can adjust the cinematic camera and choose between:

• Automatic: Use a Cobblemon model when available, otherwise use the bird.
• Cobblemon: Prefer native Pokémon rendering with bird fallback.
• Bird: Always use the built-in visual.

Server owners can control command transitions, Waystones, map teleportation, cross-dimension travel, Pokémon requirements, ignored commands, transition protection and diagnostics.

Cloth Config provides an optional in-game configuration screen.

Requirements

Minecraft: 1.21.1
Loaders: Fabric & NeoForge
Cobblemon: Optional, 1.8.1+ for native Pokémon integration
Fabric API: Required on Fabric
Cloth Config: Optional
