FasterElytras
by AVicario
With FasterElytras installed on a Fabric server, the speed of elytra flight can be set to change with altitude, and players get a rocket boost that accelerates faster.
What it does
Flight speed in FasterElytras depends on the height a player is flying at. Server owners set minimum and maximum speeds along with the height thresholds where each limit applies, so flight can slow near the ground and speed up higher in the sky. The optional vertical speed calculation lets climbing and diving count toward the speed as well.
The mod also changes firework rockets, which accelerate more strongly while in flight. A speedometer can be shown on the HUD to read the current flight speed in real time. Settings are changed in game through a GUI or with commands, and commands require OP permission level 2. Cloth Config API supplies the settings screen and Mod Menu gives access to it from the mod list, though both are optional.
Files are published for Fabric only, across the nine release versions 1.21.8 – 26.3. The latest build targets 26.3 and was released on 2026-09-20. The server must run the mod, while players may leave it out. The code is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 license, so the mod is not open source, though its source is public.
