Chairborne
Chairborne lets players sit down anywhere in the world on a Fabric server, using a sit and sneak-click gesture.
What it does
Players sit by pressing sneak while looking down at a block, which the mod reads as an auto-sit gesture. Chairborne places an invisible, no-gravity ArmorStand at the player's position and seats the player on it, so vanilla handles the sitting animation and position lock. A player stands back up with the stand-up action. Lay is listed as coming soon and is not part of this release.
Chairborne is a Fabric port of the Bedrock mod of the same name by CIServerModding, and the Java version is the initial release. Server owners install it, and players connect with no copy of their own. The mod is published for Fabric only, with one file for 26.2, released 2026-07-31, and the code is under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
The mod uses only vanilla ArmorStand mechanics and custom items, blocks and entities, so it works alongside other Fabric mods. Some camera issues are listed in the author notes for the initial release, and the mod uses mixins for client-side code, which is still experimental.
Key features
Sit down anywhere
A player can sit on any spot in the world, not only on blocks made for seating.
Sneak-click gesture
Looking down and sneak-clicking triggers the auto-sit gesture, with a pitch threshold of 60 degrees down.
Stand back up
The stand-up action ends the seat, and the invisible ArmorStands are discarded so nothing is left behind.
Sneak detection
Rising and falling edges of the sneak key are separated from a hold, using a 6-tick threshold of about 0.3 seconds.
