by Juancamilo_gl

Hydrophobic Elytra stops players from gliding with an Elytra while they are underwater, on servers where it is installed.

What it does

Hydrophobic Elytra is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.19.2 only, and it is open source under the MIT License. It runs on the server side alone, so players join without installing anything. It requires Fabric API.

Key features

  1. Underwater flight block

    Players can no longer fly with an Elytra while they are underwater, which keeps the water part of a world from being crossed by gliding.

  2. Fluid-based restriction

    The check applies to fluids, so a player in water is kept from using the Elytra's flight as it would be elsewhere.

  3. Compatibility limits

    The author reports that the restriction conflicts with mods that add new Elytras or let other flight methods be used alongside them.

What the author says

Hydrophobic Elytra is a mod that prevents players from flying with the elytra underwater. This function is removed because it is a bit illogical (even though we're talking about Minecraft) and also because it causes several incompatibilities with mods that add new elytras or allow them to be used with other flight…
