Levitation Core
by Smorox
Levitation Core is a NeoForge equipment mod that adds a Curios-compatible core granting creative flight while it is equipped.
What it does
A player crafts the core, equips it in a Curios slot, and gains creative flight for as long as it stays worn. The item is built from an ordinary object condensed into a fragment of ancient arcane energy, so its origin is left unexplained in the game. Holding the core removes the pull of gravity, letting the wearer lift off and move freely through the air.
Curios API is required, so the core can only be worn in the slots that Curios provides. The mod runs on client and server, meaning the server and every player need it. Files are published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, with 0.0.1 as the latest file, released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license. The code is not open source.
Key features
Creative flight while equipped
Wearing the core grants full creative flight, so the player can ascend and move through the sky without limits.
Curios-compatible equipment
The core sits in a Curios slot and works with any setup that uses Curios equipment slots.
Crafted from arcane energy
The core is made by condensing an ordinary object into a fragment of ancient energy, a recipe that needs no other materials.
No upkeep
Once crafted and equipped, the core asks nothing further from the player to keep the flight active.

Use cases
Exploration of open skies
Players who build sky islands or cross wide open terrain can rise above it and move without a vehicle.
Building at height
Builders working on tall structures can hover beside their work instead of placing scaffolding.
Who it’s for: Players who run Curios on NeoForge 1.21.1 and want a flight option in an equipment slot. Server owners need to install it on the server as well as on each client.
How it compares
Create Accessories Compat is open source under the MIT License, client and server, for NeoForge 1.21.1, and is a compatibility layer rather than a flight item. Simple Avatars runs on client and server under All rights reserved, for 1.21.1 – 1.21.4, and changes player appearance instead of movement. Recipe heavy core is server-side only under the Apache License 2.0 and covers 1.21.1, so players can join without installing it.
