No Elytra Firework Boost

Name: No Elytra Firework Boost
Author: AJrabbit_

No Elytra Firework Boost removes the ability to speed up elytra flight with fireworks, so gliding stays at its base speed.

FabricForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalGNU General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.20 – 1.20.4

What it does

Fireworks no longer add thrust to an elytra in flight. A player who launches with a firework still glides, but cannot use the rocket to climb or accelerate. The change is meant to push players toward other ways of getting around, and a data pack version is available for servers that prefer not to install a mod.

Key features

Firework boost disabled
Firework rockets stop adding speed to elytra flight, which is the main change the mod makes.
Reduced glide speed
The mod also lowers the gliding speed of elytra by a fixed amount.
Data pack option
The same change can be applied through a data pack, letting a server enforce it without a mod.

What the author says

Data pack (also available as mod) that disables firework boosting by temporarily changing the flight value of fireworks to -128b while gliding with an elytra. The purpose of this change is to nerf elytras in order to encourage alternate transporation methods.
