Survival Fly
by Dillon8775
Survival Fly lets server owners and operators grant flight to players in survival mode through a set of commands, and it lets players toggle their own flight with a keyboard shortcut.
What it does
Survival Fly adds a flight command for survival players. By default any player can use it to turn flight on or off for themselves. Server operators can change the permission level so regular players only use the commands on their own character, while operators can also toggle flight for other players. The mod also changes a player's flight speed: flightspeed set, get and reset commands work on a percentage or on a chosen target.
Survival Fly requires Balm, DillonLib and Fabric API, and LuckPerms is an optional dependency for permission control. Only the server needs to run it, so players may leave it out. The mod has been published since 2025-06-03 and was last updated on 2026-09-23, with builds for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across the 1.20.1 – 26.3 range, and snapshot builds are also published. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, though public links to the source code exist.
Key features
Flight command
A command lets survival players enable or disable flight, with a target argument to act on other players when permitted.
Flight speed control
Set, get and reset commands adjust a player's flight speed as a percentage of the default.
Permission levels
Operators can restrict the commands so regular players only affect themselves, or allow them to change flight for others.
Keyboard shortcut
Players on the client can toggle their own flight with Ctrl, Alt and F, a shortcut available in newer versions of the mod.

How it compares
Saro's Easy Fly is server-side only, published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge 1.17.1 – 26.3, and is not open source under All rights reserved. Fly with nostalgia is also server-side only and open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, but it covers 1.21 – 1.21.4. No Alt+F4 is client-side only and open source under the BSD 2-Clause License for 1.20.1 – 26.1.2, so it does not run on servers.
