UnlimitedElytra
by Yuqi154
UnlimitedElytra removes the speed cap on elytra flight by letting fireworks rockets keep accelerating the glider without limit.
What it does
With the mod installed, a firework rocket used during elytra flight adds speed that is not capped at the vanilla maximum, so a glider can keep gaining speed while the rockets last. Air resistance still applies, which means the added speed is reduced over time rather than growing forever. The effect is driven by the mod's configuration, so the amounts and behaviour can be adjusted to suit a world or a server.
The mod is written for NeoForge and is published for 1.21 and 1.21.1, with 1.1.0 for 1.21.1 as the latest file. Client and server both need it, so the server and every player install it together. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Uncapped rocket acceleration
Fireworks rockets used during elytra flight add speed beyond the usual limit, allowing very fast flight.
Air resistance
Drag slows the glider over time, so the extra speed from rockets fades instead of building endlessly.
Configurable behaviour
A configuration file sets how much speed each rocket adds and how strongly air resistance applies.
Elytra flight tuning
The changes apply only to elytra flight and leave the rest of the game's movement unchanged.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Fast travel on large maps
Players crossing wide terrain can cover distance quicker by chaining rockets during a glide.
Server-wide flight settings
Server owners can set the rocket speed and drag values in the config so every player shares the same rules.
Who it’s for: Players who want faster elytra travel than vanilla allows, and server owners who want to control how fast gliding players can move on their server.
How it compares
No Fire Work Fly is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 under the MIT License, is open source and runs on client and server, the same environment as UnlimitedElytra. Copper Rockets also runs on client and server and covers 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, but it is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. More Firework Rockets is released under the MIT License on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 1.21.2 – 26.3, but it is not open source, and it is server required with the client optional, so only the server must run it.
