Elytra toggle
by Estu-dio
Elytra toggle lets players turn off elytra flight with the spacebar, so a player can stop gliding without taking the wings off.
What it does
Elytra toggle adds a keybinding that switches elytra flight off while a player wears the wings. Pressing the spacebar deactivates flying, which suits players who want to stay grounded during a build or a walk without removing the elytra from the chestplate slot. The mod is written with MCreator 2025.2 and 2025.3, and the author notes that other developers may make forks of it.
The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for NeoForge only, for game versions 1.21.1 – 1.21.8. The latest file, 1.0.0, targets 1.21.8 and was released on 2025-10-05. The code is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 license, which makes it not open source. Public issue tracking is available for reports.
