notpanimations
by yoruha1337
notpanimations is a client-side Fabric mod that changes how other players' ender pearl teleports are displayed during PvP.
What it does
Minecraft normally smooths the movement of other players between server position updates. After an ender pearl teleport, that smoothing can show a player sliding to the new spot late, which makes the fight harder to read. The mod detects these teleport moments and snaps the displayed position of the other player to the true server position, so the pearl lands where the server placed it.
Outside of detected ender pearl teleports, normal movement keeps its usual smoothing, so everyday gameplay looks the same. Only the client needs the mod, because it only alters how certain position updates are drawn on screen. Installation requires Fabric; the Fabric API is not mentioned by the author as a requirement. Builds cover 1.21 – 1.21.11, published as 12 release versions with a single jar, and the code is under the MIT License, though the project is not open source.
Key features
Ender pearl snapping
When a player's ender pearl teleport is detected, the other player's displayed position jumps to the true server position.
Normal movement preserved
Other players keep Minecraft's standard smoothing during ordinary movement and only change at teleport moments.
Focused scope
The mod targets ender pearl teleport interpolation specifically and changes nothing else in how players move.
Lightweight design
The mod is small and focused on one display behavior, with a single jar covering the whole version range.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who fight other players with ender pearls and want clearer positioning during those fights. Servers do not need it, so it can be installed on a client without any server change.
How it compares
AuraPearl is a Fabric client mod for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 with all rights reserved and no open source license. NoEnderPearlDamage is server-side only for 1.21.8 – 1.21.10 under a Creative Commons non-commercial license, so players join without installing it. Key Pearl is a client-side Fabric mod for 1.21.1 only, also with all rights reserved. PVP Optimizer is client required with optional server support for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 under the MIT License, a broader tool than this focused fix.
