IG: Max Elytra Fly Speed
by dasikigaijin
Max Elytra Fly Speed raises the speed cap of Elytra flight, so players can go faster than vanilla limits allow while flying.
What it does
The mod lifts the velocity caps of vanilla Elytra flight and replaces the restrictive drag curves with a configurable speed multiplier. Firework rocket boosts can be chained, so each rocket adds forward momentum instead of hitting the usual cap, and players can scale maximum cruising speed several times above vanilla values. Acceleration is gradual rather than instant.
The mod is server-side only: only the server needs it, and players join without installing anything. It requires Dasik Library and Fabric API, and it is published for Fabric on 26.2 and 26.3. The latest file is 1.0.25+26.3 for 26.3. The code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.
Key features
Configurable speed multiplier
Server owners set how far the maximum horizontal velocity is scaled above the vanilla limit, from a modest increase up to about ten times.
Rocket impulse stacking
Chained firework rocket boosts add to the current momentum, and a configurable impulse setting controls how much each rocket contributes.
Emergency airbag shield
An optional safeguard mode prevents death from kinetic impact while flying in full Netherite armor.
Reworked flight validation
The mod changes how server-side flight packets are validated, so high speeds are not forcibly pulled back by the server.

How it compares
Reduced Elytra Firework is a Fabric mod for 26.1.2 – 26.2, with Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licensing and not open source, and it runs on client and server. FasterElytras is a Fabric mod for 1.21.8 – 26.3 that is server required with client optional, and it is not open source. Elytra Infinite is a client-side Fabric mod for 1.21.8 – 26.3 under the MIT License, so it changes the client rather than the server.

Obtaining an Elytra and crafting stacks of Firework Rockets is the crowning achievement of Minecraft survival travel. However, the vanilla flight engine enforces aggressive air resistance drag curves and restrictive velocity caps. When you ignite multiple rockets or dive from the world height limit, your speed…
