Essentially, a flight simulator in Minecraft.

This mod adds a new elytra item to the game, which, when worn, lets the player roll in the air like a plane would, while also propelling itself with its attached rockets (as long as it has fuel).

• Fly like a plane! (it's fun!)
• Customizable trails using fireworks (one per each of the 4 rockets)
• Customizable wings with dyes and banners (just like Customizable Elytra)
• Boost by sprinting to go even faster
• Brake by crouching to help landing
• Look around while flying with a key (and aim with a bow if you dare)
• Bounce in slime blocks
• Crash into trees breaking (temporarily) their leaves
• Switch to vanilla elytra flight with a key (if allowed in the server)
• Other mods may add new flight modes (such as Aerobatic Elytra Jetpack)
• Server-configurable physics and upgrades (speed, underwater flight, ...)

This mod exposes some features through custom datapacks. To make these features easier to use, a few bundled datapacks showcasing them are included with the mod, which can be easily installed with the /aerobaticelytra datapack install command.

• Generate Aerobatic Elytras in End ships (or anything you want, it's a loot table)
• Nerf Aerobatic Elytras with upgrade systems
• Add custom potion effect abilities to elytras

This mod has a wiki, which explains all the features of this mod, and also gives some tips on how to learn to fly.

You may also drop by our Discord Server if you have any issues, questions or feedback of any kind, or if you just want to say hi.

If you're a mod developer willing to add new flight modes, you can check the Aerobatic Elytra Jetpack mod as an example. Most of the extension APIs should be documented in the code as well.

If you're a modpack developer, you may take inspiration from the bundled datapacks, which have their source also available in this repository. Feel free to use them as templates to create your own packs.
