Flight Disabler
by lyuwenhan
Flight Disabler is a Fabric client mod that turns off creative flight and Elytra fall flying for the local player.
What it does
Creative flight permissions are forced off on the local player, and Elytra fall flying attempts are suppressed, with outgoing start-fall-flying packets cancelled. The mod operates entirely on the client, so only the player who installs it is affected, and the server can run without it.
The restriction is toggled with a key binding, and the default state is enabled. Pressing B turns Flight Disabler off for the session, and the chosen enabled or disabled state is saved in the configuration so it persists between sessions. The mod is lightweight and is published for Fabric only, across two release versions, 26.1.2 and 26.3, with 1.2.0 for 26.3 as the latest file.
Flight Disabler is released under the MIT License and is open source, with public links to its source code and issue tracker. It is listed under the Cursed and Utility categories, and it does not require any other mod beyond Fabric.
Key features
Creative flight disabled
Creative flight permissions are forced off for the local player, so the character cannot fly in creative mode.
Elytra fall flying suppressed
Attempts to start fall flying with an Elytra are suppressed, and the outgoing start packets are cancelled.
Toggle key binding
A key binding switches the restriction on or off, and pressing B turns it off during play.
Saved state
The enabled or disabled state is written to the configuration and restored the next time the game starts.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Testing without flight
Players who build or explore in creative mode can keep the character grounded to check paths and terrain at walking height.
Cursed playthroughs
The mod suits playthroughs built around movement restrictions, where flight would break the intended challenge.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who want to keep their character from flying or gliding in creative mode. Because the mod is client-side only, it can be used on any server without asking the server owner to install it.
How it compares
Bedrock Flight is a Fabric client mod for 26.1.2 – 26.2 under the MIT License and is open source. CreativeLimbo is a Fabric client mod for 1.21.5 – 26.3 under All rights reserved and is not open source. Flight Disabler covers 26.1.2 and 26.3, so its version range is narrower than either of these two.
