No-Fly Zone
by _gid
No-Fly Zone lets server owners place a beacon that blocks elytra gliding, riptide launches and firework boosts inside its range.
What it does
A player builds a beacon in the usual way and gives it the No-Fly effect, picked from the beacon screen in place of Haste or Speed. Inside the zone the effect stops elytra from opening and keeps riptide tridents and firework rockets from launching or boosting a player. Players already gliding are slowed to a walking pace and drift down, so they can still land safely. Anyone who is shot down keeps control and takes steady damage, and a happy ghast cannot carry a player out of the zone.
The enforcement runs on the server, so the server needs No-Fly Zone and Fabric API, which is required on Fabric. Players can join without the mod and still be affected exactly as anyone else, because the zone works the same for vanilla clients. Clients that add the mod get a No-Fly button on the beacon screen, which only neatens things up. The mod is open source under the MIT License and is published for 26.1 – 26.3 on Fabric and NeoForge.
Key features
No-Fly beacon effect
A beacon can grant the No-Fly effect instead of Haste or Speed, and it works only within its range.
Blocked flight methods
Inside the zone, elytra cannot be opened, riptide tridents do not launch, and firework rockets do not boost.
Gliding slowed to landing
Players already in the air drop to a walking pace and keep gliding slowly, so they can land safely.
Server-side enforcement
The zone is enforced on the server, so vanilla clients are affected the same way as modded ones.
Optional beacon button
Clients with the mod see a No-Fly button on the beacon screen, while the zone itself works without it.

How it compares
Flap is a client and server mod for 26.2 that is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, so it needs installing on both sides. Beacon Flight 2 is server-side only, open source under the MIT License and published for 1.21 – 26.1.2, with a similar beacon approach. Happy Ghast Control is client-required and not open source under the MIT License, for 26.1.2 only.

What the author says
Build a beacon with a No-Fly effect and elytra and happy ghasts stop working inside its range. Takeoff is refused, and anyone who glides in from outside has their wings disabled and falls. Riptide tridents and firework boosts are blocked too, so nothing gets you airborne inside the zone. Enforcement is server-side…
