🚀 Max Elytra Fly Speed

Active Version Policy: I build 1 JAR for 1 Version. I only update and maintain the latest active Minecraft version (e.g. when 26.3 is released, 26.2 is retired). No backports or legacy version maintenance. Please do not ask.

Break the Sound Barrier. Limitless Velocity. Instant Flight.

Every Minecraft player knows the limitation of vanilla Elytra flight: no matter how hard you dive or how many firework rockets you use, you are capped. Max Elytra Fly Speed removes these restrictions, allowing customizable speed and a gradual acceleration curve powered by native GameRules.

Part of the Instant Gratification Collection — mods that speed up and enhance vanilla mechanics.

✨ Features

• Custom Max Velocity Cap: Clamp maximum speed to any value (default is vanilla 30 blocks/sec). Set it to high limits like 3000 blocks/sec for extreme speed!
• Gradual Acceleration Curve: Integrates smooth, powered-rail-like acceleration when boosting. Prevents jarring, instant thrust acceleration.
• Dual-Phase Speed Scaling:
  • Phase 1 (Initial Boost): Utilizes vanilla snappy launch mechanics up to a configurable speed threshold.
  • Phase 2 (High Speed Glide): Shifts to smooth, drag-compensated acceleration above the threshold.
• Gravity Dives: Dynamically scales drag down at higher limits, allowing you to build up speed gradually by diving down and pulling up.
• Client Settings Integration: Singleplayer configuration GUI support via ModMenu + Cloth Config.

⚙️ Configuration (Native Game Rules)

⚠️ Config vs. In-Game GameRules:
The global configuration file only defines default values for new worlds at creation time. If you have already created/opened a world, changing the config file will have no effect. You must change the settings in-game using the Edit Game Rules UI screen or the /gamerule command.

No messy config files. Max Elytra Fly Speed uses the Native Minecraft Game Rules system. All mod parameters are grouped into a dedicated "Max Elytra Fly Speed" category in the official UI.

Sovereign GameRules

• max-elytra-fly-speed:max_elytra_fly_speed (Default: 50): The absolute maximum velocity (Blocks/Second) of Elytra flight.
• max-elytra-fly-speed:elytra_initial_boost_speed (Default: 30): Speed threshold (Blocks/Second) up to which snappy vanilla rocket boost is applied.
• max-elytra-fly-speed:elytra_high_speed_acceleration (Default: 15): Gradual acceleration rate (permille) above the initial boost speed threshold.
