compatibility with curios slots to have a paraglider slot like the glider mod

commented

This is one of the most frequently asked feature, and the one still perplexes me to this day. It would make sense if it was, like, a parachute, which item as an equipment feels more natural because it is one. Paraglider is not. It's a handheld device with high degree of controllability. The paraglider in BotW's property is a great case study here: it is deliberately slow, gives you greater aerial control, and you can put away and re-deploy the paraglider in short succession; those create the natural feel of "methodical movement", which hinges off of the high controllability you get from aforementioned quirks plus a dedicated button for deploying the item. Turning it into an equipment might feel like an approximation to base game, but if you explore the argument for about ten seconds and remind yourself of all the "press GODKNOWSWHAT button to toggle"s that have come and gone throughout the grand history of Minecraft modding you realize it would barely be a convenience, it's just confusing as fuck. I don't get it.

So, no. It's a thing you hold in your greasy hands. Thematically sensible, preventation of item use is intuitive. Hate using mouse wheels to get off paraglider? Try out F. It's pretty good, I'd say. You can spam F for some wacky tech too. I hope this bit of rant can serve as a final say on this subject matter. Sorry if it felt a bit aggressive. Feel free to leave further comments if you wish to talk about it more.
