PocketMorph 2.2.0

PocketMorph 2.2.0 adds new ways to browse transformations, improves movement and camera handling, and includes several performance and compatibility improvements.

New ability filters

The Base Pokemon menu now includes a filter button with the following options:

• All
• Favorites
• Can Fly
• Can Swim
• Lava-Safe
• Fast Land
• Slow Land
• Ground Mine

Filters can be combined with the normal search box, making it much easier to find a transformation that fits what you want to do.

Filter results account for available forms, server settings, and installed Cobblemon addons and resource packs. Capability data is prepared progressively and cached per server so later uses of the selector are much faster.

Controlled lava swimming

Eligible fire-resistant transformations can now move through lava with proper directional control:

• Use normal movement controls to steer.
• Hold Jump to rise.
• Hold Sneak to descend.
• Eliminated the annoying drift movement that happened when no movement input is given.

The existing lava movement multiplier now controls both horizontal and vertical movement speed.

PocketMorph also hides the burning model effect and first-person fire overlay when the transformed player is protected by PocketMorph's fire-resistance ability.

Battler HUD improvements

• Added a client-side hotkey to show or hide the PocketMorph Battler HUD outside battle.
• The preference is saved between sessions.
• The Battler controls remain available during battle.
• Added automatic compatibility with newer Cobblemon Battle Extras versions that place party icons along the left side of the battle screen. When that interface is detected, PocketMorph uses a compact arrow-only tab to avoid covering it.

Camera and transformation improvements

• Greatly improved third-person camera behavior for small transformations around leaves, bushes, fences, panes, and other partial blocks.
• Removed the rapid zoom-in/zoom-out effect that could make third-person movement disorienting.
• Solid terrain still receives strict anti-x-ray protection.
• Improved camera, hitbox, and nametag synchronization when switching from a very large transformation to a very small one.
• Corrected Pokéball throw origins across very small, ordinary, and very large transformations.

Performance and stability

• Improved selector loading and capability processing for large modpacks.
• Added a persistent per-server selector cache so unchanged servers do not need to rebuild the full capability catalog every session.
• Reduced unnecessary transformed-player render lookups and idle Battler checks.
• Improved compatibility with addon forms and resource-pack overrides without relying on Pokémon-specific allow-lists.

These changes should reduce PocketMorph's performance impact on servers with higher player counts immensely (about 80% performance improvement over 2.1).

• improved compatibility with other updated Cobblemon-related mods, specifically those used in the new Cobbleverse 1.7.40 modpack.
