Dragon Barrel Roll
With Dragon Barrel Roll installed, Dragon Survival dragons gain three-axis pitch, yaw and roll controls in place of the original elytra-based flight.
What it does
The mod is a NeoForge port of enjarai's Barrel Roll mod, rebuilt to work with the dragon entities of Dragon Survival. Its core barrel roll system comes from the original, but networking, rendering and configuration were rewritten for NeoForge 1.21.1, and new features were added, including dragon model synchronization and rider tilt linkage with Dragon Survival-specific flight state.
Dragon Barrel Roll requires Dragon Survival. Only the client needs the mod to fly with the new controls, while the server can run without it. Players other than the pilot see the dragon's flight on their own screens. Source code and an issue tracker are public, and the code is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, which makes the project open source.
Key features
Three-axis flight control
Pitch, yaw and roll are controlled separately, with keyboard or mouse input modes and momentum-based movement.
Horizon and banking aids
A horizon line indicator and a momentum crosshair help with spatial orientation, and a banking effect has adjustable strength.
Automatic righting and tilt
The dragon rights itself when no roll input is given, and the dragon model and rider tilt follow the body rotation.
In-game configuration
A config screen covers sensitivity, smoothing, control surface efficacy and per-mode toggles for hover roll and glide roll, in English and Chinese.

Use cases

Players who fly dragons from Dragon Survival can replace the default elytra-style movement with a flight-sim control scheme.
Multiplayer dragon flights
On multiplayer servers, other players see the flight of each dragon, so group flights remain readable.
Who it’s for: Players who use Dragon Survival and want precise aerial control, and server owners who run Dragon Survival dragons and want the flight to stay visible to all players.
