RideThis Mod: Strict Categorical Riding Control

The RideThis Mod is a server-side Fabric mod designed to provide strict, category-based permission control over the Pokémon riding function within Cobblemon.

Utility and Benefits 🚀

• Granular Categorical Control: The mod checks the main mount category of a Pokémon (land, air, liquid) rather than specific styles (jet, boat). This allows administrators to manage permissions efficiently based on the type of travel.

• Strict Access Logic (AND Gate): The mod enforces an ALL-required permission check. If a Pokémon has multiple mount categories (e.g., a Gyarados has Air AND Liquid categories), the player must possess a valid permission for EVERY required category to mount it. If even one category permission is missing, the ride is denied.

• Tiered Progression and Incentives: This system is ideal for rank or tiered servers, delegating access verification to the core permission plugin (like LuckPerms). It allows restricting powerful multi-category mounts to higher-ranking players, making multi-environment riding a direct incentive for player progression.

Core Permission Structure
The mod uses a simplified permission structure based on the primary categories required for travel:

Permission,Function,Example

ridethis.all

_Global Bypass: Allows mounting ANY Pokémon (overrides all checks)._

ridethis.land

_Category Unlock: Required to ride any Land-based mount._

ridethis.air

_Category Unlock: Required to ride any Air-based mount._

ridethis.liquid

_Category Unlock: Required to ride any Liquid/Water-based mount._

In short, the mod ensures that the ability to utilize a Pokémon’s full riding capability is tied directly to a player’s attained status or progression within the server environment.
