Create: Ornithopter Glider
by LuLaB0ludo
Create: Ornithopter Glider adds a flying glider to the Create addon ecosystem, letting players soar across landscapes on Forge and NeoForge.
What it does
The glider is a simple Create addon that adds the Ornithopter as a flying device for exploring wide landscapes. Players fly over terrain and can dive into danger, and the author describes the flight as feeling epic. Create is required, so it must be installed alongside this mod.
Installation needs Create, while Curios API is optional and adds equipment slot support. Create: Ornithopter Glider runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Builds are published for Forge and NeoForge, covering 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, under the MIT License and open source.

Use cases
Exploring large landscapes
Players cross wide terrain by air rather than on foot, covering ground between distant areas of a world.
Adventure play
The glider gives a flight-based way to move around and reach high or remote places on a map.
Who it’s for: Players who already use Create and want a flying vehicle for exploration, and server owners who run Create-based packs where the glider can be part of the shared world.
