Elytra Pitch
by FatalFlare
Elytra Pitch is a client-side HUD for players who fly with elytra, showing the current pitch and an optimal angle while gliding.
What it does
Elytra Pitch shows the player's pitch during elytra flight alongside an indicator for a target angle of around 40 degrees. Holding that angle lets a glider cover more ground while spending fewer rockets, and the HUD makes it possible to see how close the flight is to that target without looking at the debug screen.
Optional overlay elements can show yaw, altitude, speed, direction and elytra durability, with a warning message for low durability. Separate settings apply to first-person and third-person views, and text color and shadow can be adjusted. An in-game settings menu is available through Mod Menu, and assisted flight and toggle messages are configurable there as well.
Elytra Pitch requires Cloth Config API and Fabric API. Trinkets Updated is optional and lets the elytra be worn in an accessory slot, and Accessories support is included for the same slot. The mod is published for Fabric only, across 23 release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.3, and the code is open source under the MIT License.

Pitch display and target angle
The current pitch is drawn during flight, with an indicator marking the angle that gives the longest glide per rocket.

Separate view settings
First-person and third-person views each have their own placement and display options.
Configurable text style

Use cases
Long glides
A player crossing a large distance uses the pitch indicator to hold a steady angle and avoid wasting rockets.
Monitoring durability
Elytra durability is shown on screen with a warning, so a player can land before the elytra breaks mid-flight.
Who it’s for: Players who fly with elytra often and want live pitch, speed and altitude readouts while gliding.
How it compares
Simple HUD Enhanced is a client-side only Fabric mod for 1.17 – 26.3 under the MIT License, a general HUD rather than one tied to elytra flight. Elytra Trinket is a client and server Fabric mod for 1.20.1 – 1.21.11, released under the MIT License, and it adds the elytra slot itself rather than a flight display.
