Chairborne

Chairborne — Java Edition Sit down anywhere. A faithful Fabric port of the Bedrock Chairborne mod to Java Edition.

How It Works /sit Sit down anywhere — works /stand Stand back up — works Look down + sneak-click Auto-sit gesture — works /lay Coming soon (caused camera issues in initial release)

When you use /sit, an invisible ArmorStand spawns at your position and you ride it. Vanilla Minecraft handles the sitting animation and position lock automatically — no client-side mod, no Mixins, no experiments.

/sit Sit down anywhere /stand Stand back up

Minecraft Java Edition 26.2 (latest stable) Fabric Loader 0.19.3 Fabric API 0.156.0+26.2 (required dependency) Java SE / JDK 25

Steps Install Fabric Loader for Minecraft 26.2 Download Fabric API and place it in your mods/ folder Download ciservermodding-chairborne-1.0.0.jar and place it in your mods/ folder Launch the game and use /sit Server Installation Place both the Fabric API jar and the Chairborne jar in the server's mods/ folder. Clients connecting to the server do not need the mod installed — all logic runs server-side. The sitting animation is handled by vanilla riding mechanics.

Compatibility Server-side only — clients don't need the mod No Mixins No client-side code No experiments or beta APIs No custom items, blocks, or entities (uses vanilla ArmorStand) Works with all other Fabric mods Technical Details The mod uses an invisible, no-gravity, no-base-plate ArmorStand spawned at the player's position. The player rides the ArmorStand, which triggers the vanilla sitting animation (isPassenger = true) on all clients. The ArmorStand is positioned 2 blocks below the player to compensate for the vanilla ride height offset.

Sneak gesture detection: Rising/falling edge detection on sneak key, with a 6-tick (0.3s) max hold threshold to distinguish a "click" from a "hold" Pitch threshold: 60 degrees down triggers sit Cleanup: ArmorStands are discarded when the player stands up, leaves, or is no longer riding Differences from Bedrock
