When pigs fly
by Blzinite
When pigs fly gives Forge players a way to put Elytra on pigs, so the animals can glide across the world.
What it does
Players can attach an Elytra to a pig, which lets the animal take flight in the same way the wings allow a player to glide. The mod is built for the 1.20.1 release and runs on Forge across client and server, so both sides need it. Its author has released it under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
