About this project

What does Drafty Kites add?

The Volarkite is a simple glider added by The Betweenlands. Under ordinary circumstances, its altitude decreases at a constant rate, unless you are over certain specific blocks.

This mod makes the following alterations to that behaviour:

  • When flying over the void, the Volarkite will have a small updraft (20 ticks) applied every 300 ticks (configurable).

This is to enable its use in as an early form of travel in a SkyBlock setting, see SevTech Ages of the Sky.
