Viltrumite Flight
by baranhan123
Viltrumite Flight gives players four flight states, from standing still to near top speed, and serves as an API for the Viltrumite mod.
What it does
Flight is split into four states: NONE for normal ground movement and falling, HOVER for floating with WASD, JUMP and SNEAK, CRUISE for fast flight in the look direction while holding SPRINT, and SONIC at roughly 80 percent of top speed. Transitions between states are animated and carry sound effects and camera shake. The mod works in Creative mode without any other mod installed.
The author built the mod mainly as a foundation for the upcoming Viltrumite mod, and says other developers can hook into it as well. Players can lock cruise speed with SNEAK and take off quickly by double tapping space while sneaking. The default flightRotY value is 0 and can be changed in the config. Viltrumite Flight runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
Key features
Four flight states
Players move through NONE, HOVER, CRUISE and SONIC, each with its own control scheme and speed.
Animated transitions
State changes play smooth animations with matching sound effects and a camera shake at high speed.
Speed lock and fast take-off
Sneak locks the cruise speed, and a double space press while sneaking starts a fast take-off.
Configurable rotation
The flightRotY setting in the config changes the rotation value, which defaults to 0.

Use cases
Superhero servers
Server owners running superhero roleplay can give players fast flight with camera feedback, provided every player installs the mod.
Mod developers
Developers of flight-based content can build on the state system, since the author mentions that other mods can hook into it.
Who it’s for: Players who want superhero-style flight in Creative or survival, and developers who plan to build flight-based mods on top of this one.
How it compares
Survival Fly needs the server but leaves the client optional, so players can join without installing it, and it covers Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 26.3. Auto Elytra Flight is client-side only and open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, with Forge and NeoForge files for 1.18.2 – 1.21.4. Viltrumite Flight requires both sides and is not open source.

What the author says
This mod adds viltrumite-like flight mechanics with smooth animations and sound effects. It works completely standalone in Creative mode and allows you to fly at high speeds with camera shake. It is mainly designed for my upcoming Viltrumite mod but other developers can still hack their way into it if they want to…
