Better Flight [Forge]

Better Flight aims to improve vanilla Elytra flight mechanics.

This mod allows you to flap your wings to take off and fly in exchange for hunger, reducing the need for firework rockets.

Features:

• Elytra Durability is shown on the HUD
• Easy take-off feature via sprint + double jump
• Flap your wings to gain altitude
• Flare your wings to slow down and land
• Fireworks are still useful for speed boosts and rapid ascent
• Flapping and flaring consume flight stamina, which recharges from your hunger bar
• Optional altitude limits
• Manage your flight stamina and hunger well, and you can fly until your Elytra's durability runs out!
  

Controls (Rebindable):

• Make sure you have an Elytra equipped.
• While sprinting, tap space to jump, then tap space again while in the air to take off.
• While flying, tap space to flap your wings and gain a small boost of speed and altitude.
• While flying, hold X to flare your wings. This will slow you down rapidly and make landing easier.
• Press F10 to cycle between locations for the Flight Stamina Meter.

Integrations & Configuration:

• The mod is compatible with most other Elytra mods out of the box.
• It is curio-aware, and support for additional Elytra items can be added in via the config file
• The mod is highly configurable, with food costs and most behaviors adjustable in a server-side config which is automatically synchronized to all players in the world.

Recommended Companion Mods (Not Required):

• Apple Skin -- Makes your saturation visible on the hunger meter, making managing food much more intuitive.
• Configured -- Provides a simplified, GUI oriented way to edit the configuration settings for all your Forge mods.

Known Issues / Conflicts:

• Origins for Forge -- Elytra behavior does not get applied to the "Elytrian" origin (but will still work for manually equipped Elytras.)

Will there be a Fabric version?:

In short, that depends on the community.

I chose Forge when making this for simplicity and compatibility with the other mods I personally use.

I am just a hobbyist when it comes to modding, and my code relies heavily on Forge's infrastructure.

Someone more experienced with Fabric would be the best choice to make a Fabric version.

That's why I use the LGPLv3 license -- All code and assets are free to use in derivative works, as long as such derivative works extend the same courtesy to others.

Can I use this in a mod pack?

Absolutely!
