iammojogo's Hang Glider
by iammojogo
iammojogo's Hang Glider lets a player deploy a glider from the offhand slot and fly across the terrain with smooth, physics-based motion.
What it does
Once deployed, the glider is steered with the A and D keys, which bank the player left or right, and the pitch of the body controls how fast the player travels. A deployment only happens while the player is looking at an open block, which keeps the glider from opening by accident indoors or in tight spaces. The glider can be deployed from the offhand slot alone, and the attack is still taken from the main hand.
Contact with the ground while gliding causes no damage, and the player's body rotates into a natural position so the feet touch the ground first on landing. The mod also reworks the damage model for the glider itself, so falls and impacts follow its own rules instead of the usual fall calculation.
The mod is published for Forge 1.21.11 only, so it does not cover other game versions. It is client and server, so both the server and every player need it for full functionality. The code is released under the MIT License, and the crafting recipe for the glider is shown in the author's screenshots.
Key features
Smooth gliding physics
The glider moves with realistic physics, with speed set by the pitch of the body and turns set by banking.
Offhand deployment
The glider deploys from the offhand slot, so the main hand stays free for other items and attacks.
Look-based deployment
Deployment needs the player to look at an open block, which prevents accidental activation.
Safe ground contact
Touching the ground while gliding causes no damage, and the body turns to land on its feet.
