Elytra Bombing
by nad2040
Elytra Bombing lets players drop TNT and anvils from the air while gliding with an elytra, using items held in hand.
What it does
Holding a flint and steel with TNT in the other hand drops primed TNT from a glider, and holding an anvil drops a falling anvil block. The mod is a Fabric mod that runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Builds cover 1.18 – 1.21.6 and the latest file targets 1.21.6. The code is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, so it is open source.
Key features
Airborne TNT drops
Holding TNT and a flint and steel while flying with an elytra releases primed TNT below the glider.
Falling anvil drops
Holding an anvil while gliding releases a falling anvil block toward the ground.

What the author says
If you hold both a TNT and a flint and steel, you will be able to drop a primed TNT. \ If you hold an anvil, you will be able to drop an anvil falling block. Note: I had this idea for years but only implemented it in 2022. I didn't know at the time that there was a Forge mod with the exact same idea at the time.
