Elytra Boost

by DRECUBED

Elytra Boost adds an enchantment that propels a gliding player forward without firework rockets, and it is a server-side mod that only the server needs to run.

What it does

The mod adds a Boost enchantment for elytra. An elytra wearing it accelerates while the player glides, so no rockets are needed to keep moving. Holding sneak while gliding acts as a brake and cancels the propulsion. The propulsion grows with the enchantment level, up to level III, and Thrusters enchanted books can be found as end city treasure chests.

The mod also changes flight speeds. Thrusters are slightly slower over a constant flight duration of three fireworks, at 75 percent, while Thrusters II is slightly faster at 130 percent. Thrusters apply 10, 5 and 3 percent to the three levels, and a config option can switch back to the older Boost behavior. Elytra Boost is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with 6 release versions, and it is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 license, so it is not open source. It needs no dependencies.

Key features

  1. Boost enchantment

    The Boost enchantment keeps an elytra gliding forward at a speed that rises with the enchantment level.

  2. Sneak to brake

    Holding sneak while gliding disables the propulsion, so the player can slow down or stop.

  3. Adjusted rocket values

    Thrusters and Thrusters II have new flight durations and speeds, and the old Boost behavior can be restored in the config.

  4. Thrusters books in end cities

    Thrusters books are placed in end city chests, where players may come across them while exploring.

Questions

Does Elytra Boost need to be installed on the client?

No. The server must run the mod, while players may add it to their clients, so either side works and the client install is optional.

Which loaders does Elytra Boost support?

It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. The latest file for each loader is 1.1.0 for 26.3, dated 2026-09-15 on the beta channel.

Can the older Boost behavior be restored?

Yes. A config option enables the old Boost enchant, which the author notes describes as much stronger than the current version.
