Elytra Particle Acceleration
by somewhatmaxy
Elytra Particle Acceleration lets a player holding fireworks while gliding speed up faster and faster, with a cap that can be removed.
What it does
While a player glides with an elytra and holds right-click with fireworks, the speed builds exponentially until it reaches a ceiling. A dedicated toggle key, listed under its own Particle Accelerator category, turns the effect on or off, and the setting is remembered across restarts. On a fresh install it starts enabled. The acceleration only applies while the player is holding fireworks, and the toggle key does not add boosts on its own.
The mod removes vanilla's elytra speed limit, and turning the speed limit off also disables the game rule that checks elytra movement. Because of that, the speed can climb far past normal flight, which the author describes as too fast for most players. Required dependency: Fabric API. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. It is published for Fabric only, with files for 26.2, and the code is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, which places it in the public domain and makes it open source.
Key features
Exponential boost while gliding
Holding right-click with fireworks makes the glide accelerate smoothly and exponentially until a speed cap is reached.
Own toggle key
A keybinding under the Particle Accelerator category switches the effect on or off, and the choice persists between sessions.
Vanilla speed limit removed
The speed limit is lifted, and the elytra movement check game rule is turned off automatically while the limit is gone.
Death message support
Crash damage from a particle-accelerated fall is reported through the vanilla death message.

What the author says
Toggle Particle Accelerator on with its own key, then glide with an elytra while holding fireworks and you'll accelerate exponentially, with no ceiling, for as long as it's on. This mod removes vanilla's elytra speed limit and lets you find out exactly how fast is too fast. Regular, non-boosted elytra crashes still…
