Balloon
by GLRS65
Balloon lets players float upward and drift by holding a balloon, and it is a NeoForge equipment mod for Minecraft 1.21.8.
What it does
Balloon is an adventure item that lets a player rise into the air. A right click floats the player upward, and holding sneak while right clicking sends the player forward as well. Balloon also adds a pair of night vision goggles, so the player can see in dark areas while wearing them.
The item is crafted from 1 leather and 1 string. Sitting on the ground recharges it, and it can also repair itself over time. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Files are published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.8, and both the server and every player need it.

Recharge and repair
