Gliding
by L33tfox
Gliding gives players a glider item for traveling through the air, a lighter alternative to the elytra before the end of the game.
What it does
Gliders are crafted from three wool, one stick and four material choices, including wooden planks, cobblestone, iron ingots, gold ingots and diamonds, and netherite gliders are made at a smithing table. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Builds are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, covering 1.21 – 1.21.1, with 1.1.0 for 1.21.1 as the latest file. Cloth Config API, Forgified Fabric API and Sinytra Connector are required; Forge and NeoForge builds also need Sinytra Connector and Forgified Fabric API installed.
Key features
Crafted gliders
Gliders use wool, sticks and a choice of material, so the tier of glider a player makes follows their progress.
Netherite upgrade
Netherite gliders are made at a smithing table, giving a later-game version of the item.
Air travel
The gliders add a form of air transportation that stands in as an alternative to the elytra.
