Elytra Auto Equip
by TheTally
Elytra Auto Equip is a Fabric client mod that equips an elytra and starts flying when the player falls.
What it does
The mod watches for a fall and, when one begins, puts an elytra into the chest slot and starts flying without any key press. The author describes it as a way to avoid death from falling. Only the client needs it: the mod changes nothing on the server, and players can join a server without installing it. Files exist for Fabric across five release versions, 1.21.1 – 1.21.5, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.5 as the latest file. The code is under the MIT License, but the project is not open source.
Key features
Automatic elytra equip
When a fall starts, the mod equips an elytra in the chest slot so the player can glide without manual steps.
Solid block detection
The mod detects a fall onto a solid block and uses that check to decide when to equip and start flying.
Saved settings
The author says settings are saved and restored between sessions, so the behavior persists after a restart.
