ElytraAvionics
by jrmc
With ElytraAvionics, a pilot gliding with elytra sees aviation-style instruments and terrain callouts on the HUD.
What it does
ElytraAvionics draws flight instruments on the HUD while the player wears elytra. These include a ground speed indicator, a heading indicator and altitude callouts, styled after cockpit displays. A Pull Up terrain warning sounds when the flight path approaches the ground, in the manner of ground proximity warning systems used in aircraft.
The HUD only displays while an elytra is worn, so it stays out of view during other play. A minimap can show configurable flight routes, and the layout of the instruments can be adjusted through the mod's HUD settings. The mod is a Fabric mod for 1.21.11 only, and it runs on the client alone, so servers do not need it. It is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and is open source; the source code is public, and bugs can be reported through a GitHub issue.
Key features
Ground speed indicator
A HUD readout shows the player's ground speed while gliding, placed like a cockpit airspeed display.
Pull Up terrain warning
A ground proximity warning in the style of aircraft systems alerts the player when the flight path nears terrain.
Altitude callouts
Spoken or displayed altitude callouts mark height during descent and climb, as an aircraft crew would call them.
Minimap with flight routes
A minimap displays configurable flight routes, so a planned path can be followed during a glide.
