Cobblemon Ride Speed Stabilizer
Nerfs the top speed of fast Cobblemon rides (bird, jet, dolphin, submarine, hover) by around 45% to reduce server lag from chunk loading. Handling, acceleration, and stamina are untouched. Horse-tier rides are not nerfed.
🐎 Cobblemon Ride Speed Stabilizer
Ever flown or swam on a Cobblemon and watched your server choke because the chunks can't load fast enough? This datapack trims the top speed of the fastest rides so your server stays smooth, without making them feel bad to ride.
✨ What it changes
Only speedExpr (maximum speed) is reduced by roughly ~45%. Acceleration, handling, stamina, and jump are left untouched, so your Pokémon still feel responsive and snappy, they just don't fly fast enough to destroy your TPS.
| Ride Type | Old Speed (max / min) | New Speed (max / min) |
|---|---|---|
| 🐦 Bird | 20.0 / 4.0 | 11.0 / 2.2 |
| 🐬 Dolphin | 24.0 / 2.0 | 13.2 / 1.1 |
| 🛩️ Jet | 24.0 / 4.0 | 13.2 / 2.2 |
| 🚁 Hover | 20.0 / 1.0 | 11.0 / 0.55 |
| 🌊 Submarine | 12.0 / 2.0 | 6.6 / 1.1 |
🐴 What is NOT nerfed
Rides whose speed is already at or below horse-tier are left alone, because their speed was reasonable to begin with:
horse(baseline, 1.2)boat(0.75)vehicle,minekart(1.0)glider,helicopter(1.0)rocket(0.5)burst(1)
🎯 Why use this?
- ✅ Server-friendly — reduces lag spikes caused by fast flying/swimming rides loading chunks too quickly.
- ✅ Not brutal — rides are still far faster than walking and flying/swimming still feels great.
- ✅ Handling preserved — acceleration, skill, stamina, and jump are unchanged.
- ✅ Drop-in — just put it in your
datapacksfolder,/reload, and go.
