BetterFly

by LirxOwO

BetterFly lets players fly in survival and creative worlds, modeled on the flight behavior of the Bedrock version of Minecraft.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient or server, optionalAll rights reserved1.20.1 – 1.21.5

What it does

Players switch flight on and off by typing a command, and the flight mode is applied by changing the player's abilities. Flying costs a speed penalty while a player breaks blocks, so mining in the air is slower than on the ground. Multiplayer is supported, and the mod runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. Only the client needs it for basic use, while a server can run it too; it requires Architectury API. The files target 1.20.1 – 1.21.5 and are released under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.

Key features

  1. Flight toggle command

    Players enable or disable flying by typing a command, without needing creative mode.

  2. Bedrock-style flight

    The flight behavior follows the Bedrock version of the game as the mod's model.

  3. Speed penalty when mining

    Destroying blocks while flying reduces movement speed, which limits how fast a player can dig in the air.
