SandWitches
by ElenoraOmzo
SandWitches adds witch-themed items, a flying broom with adjustable speed and gravity, a Witch Hat with effects, one-use magic books and sandwiches, and it is installed on the server.
What it does
The broom is the core item. Holding it in the main hand and right-clicking, while holding Ctrl, changes the horizontal flying speed, and the vertical speed follows it. A separate gravity setting can be switched on and off the same way. Moving with WASD steers the broom, Space and Shift rise and descend, and holding Ctrl stops the movement. Flying with the broom in the offhand allows the speed to climb to a maximum over about ten seconds of motion.
Wearing the Witch Hat is needed before the broom's modes can be activated. The hat works like a netherite helmet and clears many bad effects, while giving access to additional effects in the desert. The magic books are one-use items, with five types across two or three levels each, and a higher tome gives a stronger effect. Sandwiches and extra items are also included, and a datapack handles the rest of the content. The mod requires Fabric, Forge, NeoForge or Quilt and runs on the server, so players join without it. It is published for 1.21.2 – 1.21.4 and released under the MIT License, but it is not open source.

What the author says
The Broom allows you to fly but also doubles as a sword and a shovel (you can't enchant it with shovel enchants). To start flying on a Broom just put it in your offhand.
