DaFlight Fabric
by muon-rw
DaFlight Fabric gives players creative-style flight in survival, with custom keys, sliding momentum and a configurable flight speed.
What it does
Once the mod is installed, a player can enable creative flight and switch on DaFlight's own flight mode, then fly with keys the player sets in the controls menu. Flight is built on the momentum model of the older DaFlight LiteLoader mod and on Zombe's Flymod, so movement slides, decelerates and accelerates instead of stopping at once. This makes positioning around builds more precise than the default creative flight.
The mod is aimed at builders and players who want to fly around large projects, and its options cover fly boost that works like sprinting, a vertical speed modifier, and an optional 3D mode where the player flies in the direction they are looking. Setting the fly speed does not need anything extra on a server beyond allowing creative flight. Cloth Config API, Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin are required. DaFlight Fabric is published for Fabric only, across 11 release versions 1.18.2 – 1.21.1, under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and its source code is public.
Key features
Custom flight keys
The player binds the keys used for flying, so flight controls match personal habits.
Sliding momentum
Movement carries inertia, with smooth deceleration and acceleration rather than abrupt stops.
Fly boost
Boosting works like sprinting in the chosen direction, and a vertical speed modifier can be set separately.
Optional 3D flight
An extra option lets the player fly toward the direction they are looking, including up and down.

Who it’s for: Creative builders and survival players who want precise flight for surveying or building large structures.
How it compares
FlyBoost is a Fabric client-side mod for 1.21 under All rights reserved, so it is closed and only the client needs it. Survival Fly runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 26.3 under All rights reserved, with the server required and the client optional. Quick Break is client-side only, released under the MIT License, for 1.18 – 26.2, and does not add flight.
