With the possible addition of dragons to minecraft, the new skylands, and the ability to fly in creative mode, it got me thinking on how to implement a flying mechanic into minecraft. I came up with a few ideas on crafting recipies: one glider, one balloon, and a parachute.
Glider - based on the Da Vinci glider:
crafting: = Wing Tip
= Wing Part
= Elevator
= Glider Body
Wink Tip Wing Part = Wing
Wing Body Wing = glider Elevator
Use: select glider > jump off cliff > right click > fly!
W = Nose Up
S = Nose Down
A = Turn Left
D = Turn Right
Left Click = Use item
Right Click = Leave Glider
Balloon:
Crafting: = Balloon
= Basket
Balloon
string lava bucket string = Hot Air Balloon basket
Use: Right click to place > Right click to enter
W = Nose Up
S = Nose Down
A = Rotate Left
D = Rotate Right
Left Click = Use item
Right Click = Leave Hot Air Balloon
(note: Balloon will travel like saddled pigs and roam on their own whim)
Parachute
Crafting: = Parachute
string string string
Use:
Jump off cliff > Right click > glide to the ground safely
A = Turn Left
D = Turn Right
Left Click = Use item
Right Click = Leave Parachute
If wind and updrafts is ever added to Minecraft, all of these would be effected.
I typically do not agree with threads like this but its actually not a bad idea since Leonardo DaVinchi actually had ideas like this.
That's why I thought of it. i think a flight mechanic could be an interesting idea for minecraft. like if you are on a mountain top and want to get to the bottom fast, you can jump, use parachute and fall safely to the ground. or if you are on another mountain and spot a village, you can glide there.
I also foresee the glider and balloon being used together as a neat travel mechanic

Post your ideas on this:
that will be something
