Cockpit
Cockpit puts a flight instrument panel on screen for players gliding with Elytra, showing pitch, speed and firework timing.
What it does
Cockpit draws a heads-up display for flight. It can show a turn-and-slip style 737 Elytra indicator, the current pitch and speed, pitch guidelines, and the time since the last firework rocket was used. A fancy speed graph tracks speed over recent seconds, and a 3D render of the player's character can be drawn on the panel.
Pitch can be read against guidelines or held with magnetic pitch, which pulls the nose toward a chosen angle, and a smooth snap option changes the angle gradually. Stall and dive warnings appear when the flight path enters a dangerous attitude, so the display works as a reference during long glides and fast dives. Every element can be toggled from the settings screen, and the mod exposes its options through Mod Menu. Cockpit is a Fabric mod for 1.21.11 only, published under the GNU General Public License v2.0 only, and its source code and issue tracker are public. It is client-side only, so the server does not need it and players can join a server without installing it.
Key features
737 Elytra indicator
A turn-and-slip style indicator shows bank and heading while the player glides with Elytra.
Pitch and speed readout
Current pitch and speed appear as numbers on the panel, updated while the player flies.
Pitch guidelines
Reference lines mark set pitch angles so the player can hold a steady descent or climb.
Magnetic pitch
An optional assist pulls the pitch toward a chosen angle, with a smooth snap mode for gradual changes.
Firework timer
The time since the last firework rocket was used is shown, so boost timing is simple to track.
Stall and dive warnings
The display warns when the flight path enters a stall or a steep dive.
