FlyWithFood_fabric
by Guailoudou
FlyWithFood_fabric lets survival players fly by spending Hunger Points over time, with the cost paid from the food bar.
What it does
Players switch on flight and keep it running as long as their hunger lasts. The drain happens at a configurable interval, and flight stops automatically once the hunger value falls below a set threshold. A reminder message warns players when their saturation effect is running low.
The mod is a server-side only install. Only the server needs it; players join and fly without installing anything. Fabric is the only loader offered, with a single file, 1.0.1 for 1.21.11, dated 2026-02-17. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Hunger-based flight
Flight draws down the Hunger Points of the player, so flying is a trade against food rather than a free ability.
Automatic shutdown
Flight ends on its own when hunger drops below the minimum threshold, which protects players from starving mid-air.
Configurable consumption
Server owners can set the hunger consumption rate, the interval between drains and the minimum hunger threshold.
Permission control
Access can be managed through LuckPerms or through regular OP privileges.
Saturation reminder
Players receive a message when a saturation potion effect is close to running out.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Survival travel
Players who want to cross terrain quickly can fly while food lasts, then land to eat.
Building
Builders can reach high or distant spots during construction, paying for each stretch of flight with food.
Who it’s for: Server owners running survival worlds who want flight limited by hunger, and admins who prefer to manage that access with LuckPerms or OP permissions.
