About

Teleport Animation brings cinematic, GTA-style teleport transitions to Minecraft. Every time you use /tp or /teleport, instead of an instant cut, the camera smoothly zooms up into the sky, glides across the world, and descends back to your destination — creating a seamless and immersive traveling experience.

Whether you're using commands, Waystones teleports, JourneyMap waypoints, or cross‑dimension travel, the mod intercepts the teleport and plays a full animation before you arrive.

Features

Cinematic camera animation — the camera zooms out, travels above the terrain, and zooms back in on arrival
3‑stage zoom heights — fully configurable pull and push stages for the zoom effect
Per‑dimension settings — separate zoom heights for the Overworld, Nether, and End
Custom sounds — distinctive sound effects for each animation step (camera zoom, step flash, travel wind)
Step flash overlay — subtle screen flash at each zoom stage to enhance the transition feel
Chunk‑by‑chunk mask fade — terrain fades out and in following the camera's direction of travel
Player freeze — optionally freeze movement and look controls during the transition
Full configuration — every parameter (heights, tick lengths, volumes, enabled/disabled) is adjustable via the in‑game config screen or a .properties file
Post‑release camera override — smooth blend back to third‑person camera after the transition
Cross‑dimension support — configurable, with a special fallback for dimension changes when chunks are still loading

Integration

The mod is designed to work seamlessly with popular teleport‑related mods:

Waystones — delayed teleports with full animation (select waystone, inventory button, warp plates)
JourneyMap — intercepts teleport requests and plays the animation
Sodium — schedules terrain updates to reduce visual glitches during transitions
Iris Shaders — automatically uses hard terrain cut when shaders are active
Distant Horizons — adjusts near‑clip plane and terrain rendering during travel
Bobby — integrates with Bobby's rendering for smoother chunk fade
Voxy — prefers Voxy‑only terrain during the travel phase
Leawind's Third Person — preempts and restores third‑person camera automatically

How to use

/gtp on|off — toggle the teleport effect on/off
/gtp status — check if the effect is enabled
/gtp player_freeze on|off — toggle player freeze during transitions
/gtp — open the configuration screen

The mod intercepts any /tp, /teleport, or /execute ... run tp command as well as teleport packets from Waystones and JourneyMap.
