PokeRider 1.8.5 — August 27, 2026
⚠️ IMPORTANT: KopperLib is now required as a dependency. Make sure it is installed before launching the game.
✨ Added
- Ground Jump: Ground-based Pokémon can now jump while mounted.
💥 Improved
- Landing Stomp: Stronger and more impactful sound effects, with a clearer shockwave effect.
- Blocksmash: Now disabled by default while the mechanic continues to be refined.
- Damage received: now your pokemon can take damage. Combine with "CobbleFight" unlocks real time riding combats!
🐛 Fixed
- Fixed Pokémon heads and necks snapping or rotating incorrectly while riding and moving the camera when using modern packs thanks to "Futurepack enabler"
- Fixed Landing Stomp triggering too late after landing.
- Impact damage now properly scales with the Pokémon's actual speed.
- Improved riding posture while gliding, including compatibility with newer Cobblemon resource packs thanks to "futurepack enabler"
Overall: This update makes mounted movement smoother and more responsive, improves combat impacts, and makes Landing Stomp and Blocksmash more reliable.
Projects on Modrinth are automatically available through a Maven repository for use with JVM build tools such as Gradle. To learn more about the Modrinth Maven API, click here.
Note: When available, you should use the creator's maven repo instead as it will have transitive dependency information that the Modrinth Maven API does not. You may also end up with duplicate dependencies if you use a mix of Modrinth and non-Modrinth Maven repositories for your dependencies, because the group identifier will be different when served through the Modrinth Maven API.
