flipWings
by PutanFactory
flipWings adds a set of wing items for Forge 1.18.2 that let a player glide and fly by holding one in each hand.
What it does
Three items are prepared for each hand. The player places the left wing in the left arm and the right wing in the right arm, then spreads both wings. Right-clicking with the dominant hand makes the player float upward. Spreading both wings at once is needed to accelerate and move horizontally at high speed, and rising converts horizontal energy into vertical energy, which slows movement. While flying, other items cannot be used, and the remaining items serve as bonus elements. flipWings runs on client and server and is published for Forge 1.18.2 under the MIT License, which is not open source.

If you wave your dominant hand (right click) while there is a player motion, it will float up.

When ascending, horizontal energy is converted to vertical energy, so Movement speed becomes…
