Flap

Flap changes how elytra flight works on Fabric, replacing firework boosts with a hunger-based stamina system for players who fly.
What it does
Flap overhauls elytra flight. Instead of firework rockets, flight draws on hunger: holding W glides forward faster, looking up gains altitude at a hunger cost, and looking level down returns to normal gliding with a hunger drain. Camera tilts during turns are meant to make steering feel more responsive. The mechanics are heavily inspired by the Icarus mod. Flap runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Its only published files target 26.2, with Architectury API required and Trinkets Updated optional.

What the author says
Flap overhauls elytra flight. Instead of fireworks you use hunger to fly. Hold W to glide forward faster. Look up to gain altitude, that's where it costs hunger. Look level or down and it's just normal gliding, no hunger drain.
