Prevent Teleport (Power Type)

Stops the entity from being teleported. It catches every route: /teleport, the spectator menu, ender pearls and chorus fruit, enderman escapes, portals and end gateways, and every Apoli action that moves an entity — apoli:teleport, apoli:random_teleport, apoli:teleport_to and the rest.

Type ID: apoli:prevent_teleport

Fields#

Field	Type	Default	Description
entity_action	Entity Action Type	optional	Runs on the entity each time a teleport is blocked. Good for a sound or a message; it fires once per blocked attempt, not once per tick.
prevent_dimension_change	Boolean	true	Whether portals and end gateways are blocked too. Set it to false to leave normal travel alone and only stop teleports within a dimension.

Examples#

{
    "type": "apoli:prevent_teleport"
}

Nothing moves this entity but its own legs.

{
    "type": "apoli:prevent_teleport",
    "prevent_dimension_change": false,
    "entity_action": {
        "type": "apoli:play_sound",
        "sound": "minecraft:block.note_block.bass",
        "pitch": 0.5
    },
    "condition": {
        "type": "apoli:status_effect",
        "effect": "minecraft:slowness"
    }
}

While slowed, the entity cannot blink or be pulled anywhere — but portals still work, and each blocked attempt thuds.

An action that would have teleported still reports failure, so fail_action on apoli:teleport, apoli:random_teleport and apoli:teleport_to_location runs — that is the hook for telling the player why nothing happened.

With prevent_dimension_change left on, a player in the Nether or the End cannot walk back out. Give them a way home, or gate the power on a condition they can clear.
