No Elytra
No Elytra is a lightweight server-side Fabric mod that allows you to disable elytra flight in selected dimensions without breaking item mechanics or requiring any client-side installation.
The mod does not remove or unequip elytra and does not affect Creative mode. It simply enforces world rules in a clean and predictable way:
"You can't fly in this dimension."

❓ FAQ
Why use dimension IDs as strings instead of enums? To properly support custom and modded dimensions.
Does this work with modded dimensions? Yes, as long as the dimension is registered in the world registry.
Does it break elytra items? No. The elytra remains equipped; only gliding is disabled.
