Ride & Dash: Airbikes
by Geegaz
Ride & Dash: Airbikes lets players ride flying vehicles, and the vehicles are added through a datapack rather than through Java code.
What it does
Airbikes are added as a data pack, and each bike can be customized in a ride style. A bike is fueled with fire charges and repaired with iron ingots, and its paint can be dyed in any of the 16 dye colors. Controls use hold and press inputs: holding forward or backward moves the bike, holding both makes it hover, holding jump for one second rises, and pressing left or right for one second starts a dash that then goes on cooldown for one second.
The server must run the mod so that airbikes work for players, while players may leave it out and still join. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, covering game versions 1.21.11 – 26.2. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source.
Key features
Flying airbikes
Vehicles that players can ride and steer through the air, added by a data pack.
Customizable ride style
Each airbike has a ride style that can be adjusted to suit the bike's look and feel.
Fire charge fuel
Airbikes burn fire charges as fuel, so flights depend on carrying a steady supply.
Hover and dash controls
Holding both forward and backward keys makes the bike hover, while a short press of left or right starts a dash with a one-second cooldown.

Use cases
Travel on a server
Server owners can add airbikes to a world so players can cross terrain faster than on foot.
Decorative builds
Dyeing the bikes in any of 16 colors allows them to be placed as scenery in build projects.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want flying vehicles for their players, and players who want airbikes in a world that runs the datapack.
