Elytra Tuning
by nwrenger
Elytra Tuning sets speed limits for elytra flight and tunes how much firework rockets boost it, configured on the server.
What it does
Elytra Tuning caps how fast a player can glide with an elytra, measured in blocks per second. Two measurements are available: HORIZONTAL counts only X and Z movement, while ABSOLUTE counts total X, Y and Z velocity. Firework boost can be adjusted through its own strength and duration settings, so a server can shape how rockets affect flight. Minecraft calculates elytra flight on the server and the client predicts motion locally, which is why the limits are applied on the server side.
The mod works in both singleplayer and multiplayer. The server needs it, while players may add it: joining clients can skip the mod, and installing it on the client adds further improvements. Installation needs Fabric API on Fabric and Quilt. Files are published for 1.21 – 26.3 on Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt, and the code is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, so it is open source. Public links to the source code and issue tracker are available, and issues and pull requests are accepted on GitHub.
Key features
Configurable speed limits
A server sets the maximum elytra speed in blocks per second, chosen between horizontal and total velocity.
Firework tuning
Strength and duration of firework boosts can be changed, so rockets add more or less thrust.
Server-side enforcement
The limits are applied on the server, where elytra flight is calculated, so modified clients cannot bypass them.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Server owners running Fabric, NeoForge or Quilt who want to control elytra speed and firework boosts. Players can join without the mod, and it is also useful in singleplayer worlds.
How it compares
More Firework Rockets is a Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt mod for 1.21.2 – 26.3 that the server needs while players may skip it, and it is released under the MIT License, so it is not open source. Elytra Utils is a Fabric mod for 1.21.1 – 26.3 that runs on the client alone and is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. Elytra Tuning differs from both by being open source under the LGPL and by applying its limits on the server.
