Enderpearl Backport

## Enderpearl Backport **Enderpearl Backport** brings modern Ender Pearl mechanics from **Minecraft 1.21.2+** to earlier versions. The mod focuses on making Ender Pearls behave like in newer vanilla versions — especially in situations where older Minecraft versions fall short. --- ## Features ### Cross-Dimensional Teleportation Ender Pearls can teleport players **between dimensions**, correctly handling portal transfers. --- ### Chunk Loading While in Flight Chunks containing flying Ender Pearls are **temporarily force-loaded**, preventing pearls from freezing, despawning, or losing momentum during long-distance or cross-dimensional travel. --- ### Persistent Ender Pearls If a player logs out while their Ender Pearl is in flight: - the pearl **"logs out" with player**, - its exact state (position, velocity, dimension) is saved, - when the player rejoins, the pearl is **fully restored** and continues flying. --- ### Survives Server Restarts Active Ender Pearls are saved to world data and are safely restored even after a **full server restart**. --- ## Loader Notes ### Fabric ✔ **Actively maintained** ✔ Uses vanilla `PersistentState` for world-safe data storage ✔ Fully supports modern Ender Pearl mechanics ✔ Versions: **Minecraft 1.20.x – 1.21.x** ### NeoForge ⚠ **Currently uses an older implementation** ⚠ Some newer improvements available on Fabric are **not yet present** ✔ Core features (persistence, teleportation) still work NeoForge updates are planned, but Fabric currently offers the most complete experience. --- ## Data Storage - **Fabric:** `world/data/enderpearl_backport.dat` - **NeoForge:** `config/enderpearlbackport_data.json`
