magic-carpet
by koka99cab
Magic Carpet adds a temporary glass carpet that lets a player fly across the world, with a few commands to control it.
What it does
The carpet is built from temporary glass blocks placed under the player, forming a moving surface that carries them through the air. The default platform is 3x3, and a configurable radius can expand it when players want a larger surface to travel on. The mod is aimed at a single job: a simple, reliable flying carpet that stays out of the way of normal terrain.
The mod only places its own glass blocks into empty space and never replaces natural terrain, liquids or blocks from other mods. When cleaning up, the mod removes only its own temporary blocks, so carpet blocks vanish cleanly after the feature is disabled, a player logs out or dies, or the dimension changes, and the server keeps floating leftovers from piling up. It is open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 and runs on Fabric only, with a single build for 1.21.11.
Installation needs only Fabric, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. The latest file is 1.1.0 for 1.21.11, published 2026-03-29.
Key features
Flying glass carpet
A carpet made of temporary glass blocks lets the player move through the air on a simple, dependable surface.
Safe block handling
Only empty spaces receive glass blocks, and cleanup removes only blocks the mod placed, leaving other terrain intact.
Adjustable carpet size
The default 3x3 platform can be widened with a configurable radius for larger moving surfaces.
Toggle and status commands
Commands enable, disable and check the carpet, and a short mc alias keeps them quick to type.

How it compares
Better Elytra Flying is a Fabric mod for 1.21.9 – 1.21.10 that is client-side only and not open source, so it works without any server install but also does not cover the server side. Dragon Carpet is a Fabric mod for 1.19.3 – 1.21.11 that is client and server and not open source, which makes it the closest alternative in version reach. Shellphone is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later, with a Fabric file for 1.21 only.
