About this project

What does Better Flight Revived add?

Better Flight Revived

Better Flight Revived brings the classic Better Flight Forge experience forward to Minecraft 1.21.1 with modern Fabric and NeoForge support.

Vanilla Elytra are great, but they lean heavily on fireworks. This mod makes flight feel more active and skill-based with takeoff, flapping, flaring, stamina management, and HUD feedback.

What It Adds

  • Sprint + double jump takeoff for smoother Elytra launches.
  • Wing flapping for controlled lift without relying entirely on fireworks.
  • Modern boost mode for stronger near-ground movement.
  • Flare braking by holding X while flying, making landings easier and more controlled.
  • Flight stamina so long-distance flight has a light survival cost.
  • HUD feedback for stamina and Elytra durability.
  • Configurable behavior for costs, recharge speed, hunger exhaustion, ceiling limits, and extra wing items.

Compatibility

Better Flight Revived supports both major mod loaders for Minecraft 1.21.1:

  • Fabric
  • NeoForge
