Flight Affinity
by baneina
Flight Affinity is a Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt enchantment mod that removes the mining speed penalty applied while a player mines in the air.
What it does
The mod adds a helmet enchantment that restores full mining speed while standing on no ground, where vanilla mining is about five times slower. It also covers jumping, flying, swimming and riding. The enchantment can be found on enchanting tables, from librarian villagers and in loot chests. Flight Affinity is based on the original Aerial Affinity mod and works in a similar way to Aqua Affinity underwater. Fabric API is required on Fabric. Servers that run it need every player to install it too.

What the author says
Based on the original Aerial Affinity Mod, this mod adds a helmet enchantment that lets you mine at full speed when you are not standing on the ground. In vanilla, mining is 5 times slower while jumping, flying, swimming or riding. Flight Affinity removes that penalty, like Aqua Affinity does for being underwater…
