RideThis
by F0CUS
RideThis lets server owners decide which Cobblemon Pokémon players may ride, sorted by land, air and liquid category.
What it does
RideThis is a server-side Fabric mod for 1.21.1 that adds category-based permission control over Pokémon riding in Cobblemon. Administrators set rules for mounts classed as land, air or liquid, so a player can ride a Pokémon only where the server allows that category. Riding can also be tied to a level rank or an attained progression status on the server.
The permission structure is kept simple, built on the three primary categories rather than individual Pokémon styles. A global bypass lets administrators override the checks, and a category step opens a category once the player meets its requirement. The mod is published for Fabric alone and runs on the server only, so players join without installing it. It is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source, and the Cobblemon mod is required.
Key features
Category-based riding rules
Permissions apply to whole mount categories, so one rule covers every land, air or liquid Pokémon at once.
Level and progression gates
Riding can be granted at a chosen level rank or after a player reaches a set progression status.
Global bypass
Administrators can override the riding checks for chosen players, allowing mounting regardless of the rules.
Full Pokémon riding
Players can use the complete riding ability of Pokémon, including jet boat style movement, within the server's rules.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.

Use cases
Gated rides on a server

Simple permission management
Administrators manage access by travel type instead of editing a rule for each Pokémon.
Who it’s for: Server owners running Cobblemon on Fabric 1.21.1 who want to control which Pokémon players can ride and when. Players need no installation, since the mod is server-side only.
