Languages
Better Elytra Takeoff
A server-side Fabric mod that lets players start elytra gliding from the ground with a firework rocket.
Features
- Use a firework rocket to start gliding from the ground
- Applies the firework boost immediately after takeoff
- Works on dedicated servers and in single-player worlds
- No commands or configuration required
Behavior
When a player uses a firework rocket, the mod cancels the normal use action if the takeoff conditions are met, starts elytra gliding, and spawns the boost rocket.
Takeoff requires:
- Holding a firework rocket
- Wearing a glider item, such as an elytra
- Not sneaking
- Not already gliding
- Not spectating, riding, or creative-flying
Aim rule:
- If targeting a block, the player must look horizontally or upward
- If no block is targeted, any look direction can trigger takeoff
Supported Versions
- Minecraft 26.3
- Fabric Loader 0.19.5+
- Fabric API 0.160.5+
- Java 25
