Wind Launch
by Carloplayz
Wind Launch lets a player throw wind charges downward to launch themselves into the air, and it can switch the mace and restock wind charges automatically.
What it does
A single key press fires a wind charge straight down beneath the player, sending them upward for a quick vertical jump. The launch is bound to a key that players can set in the controls menu, and the mod adds three new key bindings in the same settings screen. Two main features can each be switched off with its own binding.
When the mace is in hand, the mod can equip it again automatically after a launch, so the next strike is ready without a manual swap. A second option moves wind charges from the inventory into the hotbar, and a warning appears when the supply runs low. Both options can be toggled, which keeps the controls predictable for players who prefer to handle these steps themselves.
Wind Launch is a client-side only mod, so players install it alone and servers need nothing. It requires Fabric API and is published for Fabric only, with builds for 1.21.8 – 1.21.11 and the latest file, 2.0.4, targeting 1.21.11 and dated 2026-02-23. The code is open source under the MIT License.
