Nimbus 2000
by peterwolfpl
Nimbus 2000 lets a player fly in Survival by holding a broom, using the vanilla Creative-style flight controls.
What it does
Holding the Nimbus 2000 broom in either hand enables flight. Double-tapping Space toggles it, Space rises, Shift descends and WASD moves the player. Swapping hands with F keeps the ability active, and flight ends at once when the broom is dropped or no longer held in either hand, so the player falls normally. Hunger and exhaustion are suppressed while the broom is held.
The mod uses Fabric and runs on client and server, so the server checks the ability each tick, which keeps flight safe in multiplayer. Flight in Survival does not need Elytra rockets, since the mod uses its own fuel system: rockets are a required item, and the game mode changes flight permissions permanently. Files cover 26.2 and 26.3, and the code is under the Apache License 2.0. Latest file: 1.0.2 for 26.3, published 2026-09-18.
Key features
Broom-based flight
Holding the broom in the main hand or the offhand enables a Creative-style flight mode for the player.
Double-tap toggle
In Survival, double-tapping Space toggles flight, with Space to rise and Shift to descend.
Server-checked ability
The server verifies the flight ability every tick, so multiplayer players cannot keep it once the broom is gone.
Hunger suppression
Hunger and exhaustion are paused while the broom stays in hand, so long flights do not drain food.

Use cases
Survival flight without Elytra

On a server the flight ability is checked each tick, so players can move across terrain together.
Who it’s for: Players and server owners who want a broom-based flight option in Survival, with flight controls that match vanilla Creative.
How it compares
NCControlUtils is client-side only and released under the MIT License, with files for 26.1 – 26.3. Nimbus 2000 needs the server as well as the client, and its code is under the Apache License 2.0. No Elytra Flight is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, runs client or server optional and covers 26.1 – 26.1.2, so it differs in both environment and version range.
