Shulker Charm
by milkev
Shulker Charm adds a trinket charm that grants creative-style flight in survival, powered by energy gathered from nearby beacons.
What it does
While it is equipped, a player can fly, and flight draws energy at 20 points per second. The charm stores energy up to a configurable capacity, and beacons within range recharge it at 40 points per second, with the range scaling to the beacon's own reach.
When the energy runs out, flight is cut off and the player receives a short slow fall, so the character drifts gently back to the ground instead of dropping. Charging range, maximum energy capacity and the charge rate are all configurable. The mod requires Fabric API and runs on Fabric alone, with both the client and the server needing it.
Required dependencies are Cardinal Components API, Cloth Config API, Fabric API and Trinkets. Accessories and the deprecated Trinkets Compat Layer for Accessories are optional. PlayerAbilityLib is bundled inside the mod. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the latest Fabric file is 1.3.2 for 1.21.3, released 2024-11-21.
Key features
Creative-style flight
Equipping the charm lets a survival player fly for as long as the stored energy lasts.
Beacon charging
Nearby beacons recharge the charm at 40 points per second, within a range that depends on the beacon.
Slow fall on empty
When energy runs out, flight stops and a few seconds of slow fall let the player drift to the ground.
Configurable values
Beacon charging range, maximum energy capacity and the charge rate can all be adjusted in the config.

How it compares
Charmbound is a Fabric mod for 1.21.8 under the MIT License, but it is not open source and targets a later version than this one. Mythic Charms is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, with files for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, and covers a wider set of charms. Beacon Flight is server-side only for 1.20.6 – 1.21.4 under All rights reserved, so players join without installing it, while Shulker Charm needs the client and server.
