IcarusWings
by FROG__MAN
A craftable set of wax-and-feather wings is what IcarusWings adds, letting a player glide and flap across open sky.
What it does
Players craft the wings from wax and feathers, and a dungeon stronghold chest can also hold them. Wearing the wings allows gliding like an elytra, and pressing jump in mid-air gives an upward boost. A small cooldown bar above the hotbar shows when the next flap is ready.
The wings take damage under dangerous conditions, and flying too high during the day can melt them, so a player has to keep altitude in check. The mod runs on client and server and is published for Fabric only, across three release versions, 1.21.9 – 1.21.11, under the MIT License. It is not open source.

What the author says
Icarus Wings adds a craftable pair of wax-and-feather wings that let you glide and flap through the skies — but at a cost. The higher you fly, the closer you get to disaster. The wings of Icarus were never meant to last. Neither are yours.
