Elytra Infinite
by meanwhile131
Elytra Infinite keeps an elytra airborne for as long as its durability lasts, without fireworks, by steering the player's pitch in a repeating cycle.
What it does
The mod lets a player fly with an elytra indefinitely, removing the need to carry or use fireworks. It works by controlling only the player's pitch, so the flight follows Minecraft's own physics rather than changing movement directly. The cycle pitches the player down about 30°, waits roughly ten ticks until horizontal velocity is high, then pitches up near -48° and slowly eases the camera down at 0.5° per tick until speed is regained. The angles were derived with an elytra gliding calculator. Each iteration gains about 3 blocks of height, so the flight lasts as long as the elytra does. Elytra Infinite is client-side only, so servers run without it and players alone need to install it.
Installation requires Fabric API and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL). Mod Menu is optional and adds a settings screen for the mod's options. Files are published for Fabric only, across nine release versions starting at 1.21.8, and the latest file is 1.5.3 for 26.3, dated 2026-09-18. Snapshot builds are published, and the code is released under the MIT License, so the mod is open source.
Key features
Fireworkless flight
The elytra stays airborne without fireworks, so the player does not need to carry rockets for long glides.
Pitch-based cycle
The mod changes only the player's pitch in a repeating pattern, relying on the game's gliding physics to keep the flight going.
Height gain per cycle
Each cycle gains about 3 blocks of altitude, which lets the flight cover distance while the elytra lasts.
Optional settings screen
With Mod Menu installed, the options can be adjusted from a settings screen built with YetAnotherConfigLib.

What the author says
A mod to infinitely fly with an elytra without fireworks. It only controls your player's pitch to take advantage of Minecraft's physics, so it is essentially a smart macro, not a hack! When you start flying, the mod will: 1. Pitch down to 30°. 2. Wait until you are 10 ticks (0.5 seconds) away from hitting a block or…
