Elytra Combat Nerf
by Jaiksh
Elytra Combat Nerf limits how long a player can glide with elytra during combat, and applies a cooldown once that flight time runs out.
What it does
Elytra Combat Nerf restricts elytra escapes during combat. A player who takes damage enters a combat state, and while it lasts, a flight window of 3.5 seconds is allowed by default. When that window is used up, the elytra enters a cooldown of one minute during which flight cannot be started again until the timer expires. Combat state ends after a set number of ticks with no further damage; the default is 5 minutes, after which the cooldowns are removed.
The mod runs server-side only, so players join without installing it, while the server owner must run it. Requires Fabric API. It uses standard Minecraft cooldown mechanics, so it stays compatible with other HUD mods. The code is published under the MIT License and is not open source. Files exist for Fabric, for 1.21.11 only, with version 1.0.0v released on 2026-07-12.
