Elytra HUD (from MFS 2020)
by jewtvet
Elytra HUD puts a flight display on screen while a player glides with elytra, in the style of Microsoft Flight Simulator.
What it does
The mod draws a heads-up display for elytra flight, styled after the cockpit instruments of Microsoft Flight Simulator. It changes a few camera and animation settings automatically while the player flies, so the view suits gliding: the third-person view and a 110 field of view switch on during flight, and the spin riptide animation is turned off. A carved pumpkin worn on the head can equip automatically, which also works with CIT resource packs such as CIT Airplanes.
The mod depends on Cloth Config API, Fabric API and Mod Menu, and needs them installed next to it. Do a Barrel Roll is an optional dependency. Elytra HUD runs for the Fabric loader only, and the environment is client-side only, so the server does not need it. Files exist for 1.20 – 1.21, with 1.1.0 for 1.21 as the latest file, released under the MIT License. The code is not open source, and the mod has a public issue tracker.
Key features

Automatic third-person view
The camera switches to third person during elytra flight and returns to the previous view when landing.
Automatic 110 field of view
The field of view changes to 110 while flying, widening the view of the surrounding terrain.
Carved pumpkin auto-equip
A carved pumpkin is equipped automatically when it is needed, and resource packs can use it for custom models.
Spin riptide animation off
The riptide spin animation is disabled during flight, so the player's view stays steady.
