noflyzone-sammie
by Sammie_Dev
With noflyzone-sammie installed, a Fabric server turns off flight for players when they join, unless they hold the bypass permission.
What it does
On join, the server disables flight for each player. This helps keep a survival experience intact by stopping unauthorised flight. Players who hold the noflyzone.bypass permission node keep their flight, so server admins and authorised players fly without interruption.
Few settings need configuring, because the Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 stays lightweight and uncomplicated. It runs on the server only, so players join without installing anything. Files are published for Fabric alone, for 1.21.1, with 1.00-1.21.1-RELEASE as the latest file dated 2026-08-13. It is released under the MIT License, and the project is not open source.
The mod was first published on 2026-08-13 by Sammie_Dev and last updated the same day. It needs no dependencies beyond Fabric itself.

What the author says
This is a simple Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 which forces the player's flight to become disabled when they join a server, unless they have the bypass permission node "noflyzone.bypass", meaning Admins can fly uninterrupted.
