Speed Air Drag

by DerpDerpling

Speed Air Drag changes how the Speed and Slowness potion effects alter the air drag attribute, so jumps and sprints feel different.

What it does

Speed Air Drag ties the Speed and Slowness potion effects to the air drag attribute. Each level of Slowness adds a modifier to air drag, which makes a player move slower through the air, while each level of Speed removes one, leaving the player more floaty and quicker to cover ground while jumping. The default values are 0.50 per level of Slowness added and 0.25 per level of Speed removed.

A gamerule controls how much air drag each level adds or removes, so a server can tune the effect without editing files. Fabric API is required to run the mod, and both the server and every player need it installed. Files are published for Fabric only, for game version 26.2, with 1.0.0 as the latest file. Snapshot builds are published, and the custom license means the mod is not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are public.

Key features

  1. Slowness adds air drag

    Each level of Slowness adds an air drag modifier, so a player with the effect moves more slowly through the air.

  2. Speed removes air drag

    Each level of Speed removes an air drag modifier, so jumping and sprinting carry the player further.

  3. Adjustable gamerule

    A gamerule sets how much air drag each effect level adds or removes, letting servers change the feel of the effects.

  4. Floatier jumps

    With Speed, the player becomes lighter in the air, which gives faster movement and longer air time during jumps.

How it compares

Full comparison

Faster Minecarts 69 is a Fabric mod for 26.2, client and server, under the Apache License 2.0, and it changes minecart movement instead of air drag. No Air Resistence targets 26.2 – 26.3 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, is server required with client optional, and is released under the MIT License; it covers air resistance for the whole server. Mounts Is Bugs is open source under The Unlicense and is built for 1.21.1, where either side can run it and neither needs it, so it does not overlap in version with this mod.
