I host a small, private Hexxit server. We were running into an issue with the 'moved too quickly' and 'moved wrongly' SMP checks interfering with the hookshot mods that are included in the pack. More specifically, players would get caught in a horrible tug-of-war between a hookshot pulling the player towards a location, and Minecraft repeatedly teleporting them back to their starting location.
Since cheating isn't an issue on this server, I fixed the problem by writing a small coremod that patches those checks out of the 'NetServerHandler.handleFlying' method. I haven't had any issues since doing that, but this seems like an intrusive way to fix a simple issue. I was wondering if anybody knows of a cleaner way to do this (preferably without the coremod).
If that isn't possible, then I would appreciate somebody having a look at the code for my IClassTransformer implementation below. I'm completely unfamiliar with modding Minecraft (although not with programming in general), so while the changes I have added seem to work, there is a high chance that I have done something terribly wrong:

I have tried to write this code so that it won't break if somebody patches the same method by adding or removing instructions, unless they patch the same area I am working on here.
