ScrollFly
by MrErenK
ScrollFly lets players change flight speed with the mouse scroll wheel while flying in Creative mode, matching Spectator mode.
What it does
In vanilla Minecraft, only Spectator mode lets the mouse scroll wheel adjust flight speed. ScrollFly ports that exact behavior over to Creative mode, so a flying player can speed up or slow down by scrolling. The change is limited to flight in Creative, and no other controls are altered.
The mod is published for both Fabric and Forge, and both builds target 1.20.1 only. Fabric API must be installed alongside the Fabric build. The environment is client and server, so players need the mod and the server must also have it installed for the speed behavior to apply in multiplayer.
Its license is a custom license and it is not open source, though public links exist for the source code and the issue tracker. Files were first published on 2026-05-09 and last updated on 2026-06-03, when the 1.0.1+mc1.20.1 build arrived for both loaders.
Key features
Scroll to change flight speed
While flying in Creative mode, the mouse scroll wheel raises or lowers flight speed, as it already does in Spectator.
Spectator-style controls
The speed adjustment works the same way Spectator mode handles it, so familiar scrolling carries over to Creative.
Flight limited to Creative
Speed changes apply only while flying in Creative, leaving the rest of vanilla controls as they are.

Use cases
Creative building
Builders who fly around large structures can fine-tune their speed with one scroll instead of leaving flight to change pace.
Survey flights
Players checking terrain from the air can slow down for close looks and speed up to cross long distances.
Who it’s for: Creative players who fly often and want Spectator-style speed control, and server owners whose Creative players should get the same scrolling behavior.
How it compares
Invert Spectator Scroll Speed is a Fabric-only mod for 1.20.1 under the MIT License and is open source, so it reverses the scroll direction rather than porting Spectator's behavior to Creative. Fly Speed Modifier is a Fabric client-side only mod, open source under the MIT License, with files for 26.1.2 – 26.3, so it targets a different version range and does not need the server. Elytra Flight Control is a Fabric mod for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 that runs on client and server and is open source under the MIT License.

What the author says
A very simple Minecraft mod that brings the flight speed adjustment from Spectator mode. In vanilla Minecraft, you can only adjust your flying speed using the mouse scroll wheel when you are in Spectator mode. This mod simply ports that exact functionality over to Creative mode!
