No Fire Work Fly

by FuuuuXC

No Fire Work Fly removes the need for firework rockets during elytra flight, so a glider can stay aloft without fuel items.

NeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.1

What it does

Normally an elytra needs firework rockets to gain height and keep moving. This NeoForge mod lets the wearer take off straight from the ground by sprinting and jumping, then hold a sustained glide without spending any rockets. Players who fly for long stretches no longer have to stop to restock.

The mod changes only the flight behavior, not the rest of the game. It needs Caelus API to run. Released under the MIT License, the source code is open source and is hosted in a public repository. Files target only 1.21.1, and the latest NeoForge build is 0.1.1, published on 2026-07-20 after a first release on 2026-07-12.

Key features

  1. Rocket-free gliding

    Gliding through the sky works without consuming any firework rockets, so the elytra stays airborne on its own.

  2. Ground takeoff

    A sprint followed by a jump unfolds the elytra and launches the player into the air from the ground.

  3. Smoother flight physics

    The flight motion is adjusted to feel steadier while gliding, with the vanilla elytra controls left in place.

  4. Sustained flight

    Once airborne, the player keeps flying for as long as the glide continues, with no fuel item to refill.

Questions

Does No Fire Work Fly need Caelus API?

Yes. Caelus API is a required dependency and must be installed alongside the mod on NeoForge 1.21.1.

Do both the server and players need the mod?

Yes. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod.

Is the mod compatible with other elytra physics mods?

The author notes that other mods changing elytra physics can conflict with it, so combining them may cause problems.
