Icarus Wings
by LocusAzzurro
Icarus Wings adds feathered wings to Minecraft, drawing on the Greek myth of Icarus and a second branch based on the Heaven's Lost Property series.
What it does
The mod has two main branches. The first follows Greek mythology and lets players craft feather wings that give limited flight early in survival, with restrictions that keep the balance of the game intact. The second branch is based on the anime and manga series Heaven's Lost Property, whose main heroine is named Ikaros, and it focuses on end-game content. Players gather rare materials and use them to build gear wings that fly freely.
Icarus Wings runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files exist for NeoForge only, for 1.21 and 1.21.1, with 1.21-0.7.0 for 1.21.1 as the latest file. It is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker.
