NoElytra
by ItsTheLeviDR
NoElytra is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that stops firework rockets from speeding up a player who is gliding with elytra.
What it does
With the mod installed, a firework rocket used while wearing elytra no longer adds boost to the glide, so flight keeps its normal speed. Players can still launch from the ground or use the elytra without rockets. The change applies to the game's flight mechanic, and the mod is not a separate flight system.
Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The latest Forge file is 1.0.0 for 1.20.1, dated 2025-09-01. NoElytra is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved.
