Glide
Glide adds a paraglider to Minecraft that lets players soar and glide across the world, inspired by the Legend of Zelda series.
What it does
Once equipped, the glider opens up gliding in midair when the jump key is pressed. Players can drift around the world at a gentle descent, and terminal velocity is lifted when Slow Fall is active, so long falls stay controlled. The glider is built on the Trinkets slot system, so it sits in a trinket slot rather than a regular armor slot.
Glider designs can be customized with different fabrics and frames, and some designs use emissive textures that stay visible in the dark. Particle effects are tied to enchantments, and the enchantments themselves are balanced with a temperature-based system around the Nether. The mod draws its look and function from the Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom gliders, and players can reach that kind of air travel early or mid-game.
Glide runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it installed. It requires Fabric API and Trinkets, and it is published for Fabric and Quilt for 1.20.4 only. The license is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source, although the source code and issue tracker are public.

What the author says
Heavily inspired in both function and looks by Legend of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild/Tears Of The Kingdom, the glider allows you to soar through the skies as a early/mid-game more of air transport. When equipped in the hand trinket slot, you open up your glider with [Space] midair.
