Fly-Command
by QZXiao
Fly-Command lets any player fly in Survival with a single typed command, without operator rights or a change to Creative mode.
What it does
Typing fly turns flight on, and typing fly again turns it off. The command works in Survival, Adventure and other modes, and it covers the Overworld, the Nether, the End and other dimensions. Players who run minigames, custom maps or a server that offers flight to members can use it without switching game modes, which vanilla Minecraft does not allow in Survival.
Feedback appears in the chat when flight is switched on or off, so players always know their current state. The author describes the mod as an extremely lightweight addition. Installation needs Fabric, Forge or NeoForge for 1.20.1 or 1.21.1, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. The code is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, which is not an open source license, and the mod was first published on 2026-04-03.
