Grand Teleport (GTP)

Grand Teleport (GTP)

Grand Teleport adds a GTA-style cinematic camera transition to Minecraft teleports.

When a teleport begins, the camera separates from the player and pulls upward through several zoom stages. Whenever possible, it then travels across the world from above before returning to the player near the destination. The actual teleport is still handled by Minecraft, the server, or the mod that triggered it. GTP simply wraps that teleport in a more cinematic visual sequence.

Important Multiplayer Note

Before using Grand Teleport on a multiplayer server, make sure the server owner or staff allow it.

GTP is designed as a visual presentation mod, not as a way to bypass server rules. It does not give players teleport permissions, and it does not allow commands that the server would normally block. Some server-assisted transitions also require Grand Teleport to be installed on the server, so the client can be notified when a server-side teleport is happening.

Main Features

GTA-style camera pull-out, overhead travel, and pull-in transition.

Configurable camera heights for each zoom stage.

Separate zoom-stage settings for the Overworld, the Nether, and the End.

Optional blocking of player movement and camera input during the transition.

Optional cross-dimension camera travel.

Minecraft sound mode and Grand Teleport custom sound mode.

ModMenu configuration screen.

Client commands available through both /gtp and /grandtp.

Supported Teleport Sources

GTP can react to common teleport commands such as:

/tp
/teleport
/minecraft:tp
/minecraft:teleport
/execute ... run tp ...
/execute ... run teleport ...

Depending on the Minecraft version and installed mods, GTP can also support several mod-based or server-assisted teleport flows, including JourneyMap teleports, Waystones teleports, Warp Plate teleports, command blocks, and other player-targeted teleports.

For multiplayer server-side teleport sources, Grand Teleport may also need to be installed on the server.

Commands

/gtp on or /grandtp on - enable the transition.
/gtp off or /grandtp off - disable the transition.
/gtp status or /grandtp status - show the current status.
/gtp player_freeze on or /grandtp player_freeze on - block movement and camera input during the transition.
/gtp player_freeze off or /grandtp player_freeze off - allow movement during the transition.
/gtp player_freeze status or /grandtp player_freeze status - show the player-freeze status.

These settings are also available through the ModMenu configuration screen.

Recommended Companion Mods

Grand Teleport feels more cinematic when the camera can see distant terrain during the transition. If your PC can handle them comfortably, Voxy and Distant Horizons are good companion choices.

These mods are optional. GTP works without them, but the transition looks more impressive when long-distance terrain is visible.

Sodium Compatibility Notes

Sodium compatibility depends heavily on version, because Sodium’s internal renderer can change between Minecraft releases.

The following combinations have been the most stable in testing:

Minecraft 1.21.11: Sodium 0.8.0 to 0.8.12
Minecraft 26.1.x: Sodium 0.8.9 to 0.8.12
Minecraft 26.2: Sodium 0.9.0

These are tested recommendations, not a guarantee that other versions cannot work. If the transition flickers, or if chunks appear too abruptly, try switching Sodium versions or checking Sodium’s chunk fade settings.

Sound Credits

Grand Teleport includes an optional custom sound mode. These GTP sound effects were created by editing and processing audio assets acquired under a paid Zapsplat plan.

The default Minecraft sound mode is also available for players who prefer vanilla-style effects.

Notes

GTP is mostly client-side for player-started teleports.

Server-assisted teleports may require the mod on both the client and the server.

The mod only changes the camera transition and related visuals. It does not grant teleport permission.

Distant terrain mods are optional, but Voxy or Distant Horizons are recommended for the intended cinematic look.
