Icarus Reborn

by dihtachi

Icarus Reborn adds early-game wings that fly without fireworks, drawing on the Icarus myth, with wax and resin variants.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT License26.1 – 26.2

What it does

Players who want flight before the End get an elytra-style glide that needs no rockets. Pressing the forward key while gliding accelerates the player in the direction they are looking. The wings follow the Icarus story: flying too high on Wax Wings melts them until they cool down.

Two wing types are available, each built from its own materials. Wax Wings are made from honeycombs, feathers and string and are weakened by sunlight. Resin Wings are built from resin clumps, feathers and string and resist the sun better. Custom flight enchantments and advancements add progression milestones for boosting wing performance.

The mod runs on the Fabric loader and needs Fabric API. Only the client needs it, so servers can run without it. Files are published for 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2 and 26.2, and the latest file is 0.0.1-26.2 for 26.2, released under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Rocketless flight

    Wings allow gliding without fireworks, so flight comes earlier in progression than the elytra.

  2. Sun-sensitive Wax Wings

    Wax Wings are crafted from honeycombs, feathers and string, and melt when flown too high.

  3. Sun-resistant Resin Wings

    Resin Wings use resin clumps, feathers and string, trading some speed for resistance to heat.

  4. Flight enchantments

    Custom enchantments raise wing performance, including a 1.5x stronger Unbreaking and higher maximum flight velocity.
