ElytraCancel
ElytraCancel lets a player stop Elytra flight at once with a single keypress, so gravity takes over and the character drops.
What it does
Normally, once a player starts gliding with an Elytra, control over stopping is limited, which makes it hard to drop straight down onto a precise landing spot. The mod adds a keybind that ends the glide immediately, after which the player can choose to re-engage the glide. Pressing the key gives more control over aerial movement, for tight spaces, exact landings and avoiding overshooting a destination.
The mod is client-side only, so only the player's client needs it and a server can run without it. It requires Fabric API and is released under the MIT License as open source, with a public source code repository and issue tracker. Files target Fabric for 1.21.10 – 26.3, with 1.5 for 26.3 as the latest file, first published on 2025-12-03 and last updated on 2026-09-17.
The author suggests testing the mod in a live environment, notes a recommended version of 26.2, and mentions that other versions work too.
