Cobblemon Escape Rope
Cobblemon Escape Rope adds an Escape Rope item that returns a player to the last safe place they recorded in the same dimension.
What it does
Cobblemon Escape Rope is a lightweight add-on for Cobblemon that registers one item, the Escape Rope. The mod records each player's last position in a dimension that has a sky, and using the rope moves the player back to that saved spot. The return only works within the same dimension the position was saved in, so a rope cannot carry a player across dimensions. When the saved spot is not safe, the mod searches nearby for a landing spot within a configurable radius.
Use of the rope is shaped by settings the server owner can change. A use-time cooldown and the item consumption behavior are both configurable. Players need Cobblemon, Matthiesen Core and Forge Config API Port installed, and Fabric API is required on Fabric. Escape Rope is open source under the MIT License and runs as a client and server mod, so the server and every player need it. Files cover 1.21.1 only, with 1.5.0 as the latest build for both Fabric and NeoForge, published on 2026-09-06.
Key features
Escape Rope item
A single craftable item that returns the holder to a previously recorded position in the same dimension.
Position recording
The last position is saved for each player in a dimension with a sky, so the rope has a target to return to.
Safe landing search
If the saved spot is unsafe, the mod looks for a nearby landing spot within a configurable search radius.
Configurable cooldown and consumption
Server owners can set the use-time cooldown and decide how the item is consumed on use.

Use cases
Returning from a long trip
A player who travels far from a Cobblemon base can use the rope to head back to the place they last stood under open sky.
Recovering from danger
After a risky encounter in the overworld, the rope gives a way back to a known location without retracing the route.
Who it’s for: Players who run Cobblemon on Fabric or NeoForge and want a return item, and server owners who want to tune how it is used and how long each use takes.
How it compares
Vanilla Rope is NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, and is released under All rights reserved. Create: Throwrope is also NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, and is licensed under the Apache License 2.0; it is server required with the client optional, so it differs from Escape Rope, which needs both sides. Cobblemon: Armour runs on Fabric and NeoForge with client and server, and is released under All rights reserved.
