Bedrock Elytra
by jacobxny
Bedrock Elytra lets a player stop mid-air while gliding with an elytra, matching a behavior of Bedrock Edition.
What it does
While gliding, a player can stop in mid-air and then resume flight by jumping again, which reactivates the elytra. The mod's aim is closer parity with Bedrock Edition, and its effect is limited to this mid-air stop and restart. Players gliding with an elytra on Fabric can use it for 1.21 – 1.21.11, with 1.0.0+1.21.5 for 1.21.11 as the latest file.
Bedrock Elytra needs Fabric API, which must be installed alongside it on Fabric. Only the client needs the mod, so server owners can run a server without installing it. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. The author notes that it works with most mods that alter elytras, and that Barrel Roll was the one mod tested with it.
Key features
Mid-air stop
A glider can stop while in the air instead of continuing the glide, as in Bedrock Edition.
Jump to resume
Jumping in mid-air ends the stop and reactivates the elytra, so flight continues from there.
Compatibility with elytra mods
The author reports that it works with most mods that change elytras, and Barrel Roll was tested.

Use cases
Bedrock-style movement
Players who know the Bedrock Edition elytra can keep the same stop-and-resume control on Java Edition.
Who it’s for: Players who use elytra flight on Fabric and want the Bedrock Edition stop-and-resume control. Each player installs it on their own client; a server does not need it.
How it compares
Craftable Bedrock is a server-side only mod for Fabric under the MIT License, published for 1.21.8 – 1.21.11. Elytra Burn is a client and server mod for 1.21 under a custom license and is not open source.

What the author says
Bedrock Elytra simply adds a way to stop in midair just like in Bedrock Edition, because the more parity, the better. Simply jump in air while flying to stop flying and double jump to reactivate your elytra, that's it.
