Describe the feature

First off, jet boots for flying in non-builder is great. It's fun to use and gets you fast from A to B when doing long distance travel. These issues and suggestions only apply to builder mode and walk/sprint speed boost.

Compared to other mods creative flight options, the jet boots builder mode is very slow and clunky. The current situation is

Builder mode is too slow

When working on large builds, I often find myself switching away from builder mode just to be able to travel faster from A to B within the build. This gets tedious in the long run. Even with full speed upgrades builder mode is slow.

Issues with using max speed upgrades

There is only a single slider setting for speed boost which applies to both walking/sprinting and flying in builder mode. This makes me constantly enter the UI the lower the speed boost when I'm traveling by foot, and increasing it while in builder mode. The max setting on speed boost makes walking way too fast and awkward since it applies only to forward walking, not backwards or sideways. At the same time the max speed boost setting for builder mode is not fast enough.

Solution

1. Separate speed boost sliders for builder mode and walking/sprinting. This way the player can choose separately how fast they walk and how fast builder mode travel should be.
2. Increase speed boost for builder mode. Even at fastest setting, builder mode is slow. Increase the affect of speed boost on builder mode would fix this and by using the individual sliders, players who want slower builder mode can still get that while not affecting walking speed.

Reasons why it should be considered

This change will bring big QoL improvements to the jet boots' builder mode and walk/sprint speed boost configurability while not changing any existing behavior for players who are used to it.

For me personally, it would make me not having to rely on other mods' creative flight solutions just because they are more "ergonomic" to use.

Additional details

No response

Slightly related, probably a separate ticket would be to make switching between non-builder and builder mode have less friction.

For example imagine you're by default in non-builder mode. Your hotkey (not space) will activate the jet boots and you'll fly. However, by double-tapping space you enter builder mode until you double-tap space again and you're back to normal flight mode, or if you use your jet boots hotkey you leave builder mode (creative flight) as well and transition to normal flight mode.

Double-tapping space to enable creative flight is not only used by Mojang, but also mods like Ars Nouveau for their creative flight ritual and likely more mods as well.

I know you can assign a key to switch mode, but double-tapping space is already a common and established way to switch to/from creative flight and keys on the keyboard within convenient reach from WASD is hard to come by when you have big modpacks with many mods all wanting one or more keys assigned to them.
