I support wings!
I suggest the way you go about wings should be different. For one: wings should be more difficult to craft and cost a lot more materials.

e.g. Nether star, a stack of feathers or blocks of diamond & gold

They shouldn't use durability at all & hunger should reduce like you were running, more if you were flying upwards. I don't like the idea that if you ran out of hunger you lost 5 hearts falling. That is a death wish, especially if it was night time and you fell off multiple cliffs. Therefore you can constantly glide with wings on.

However I do agree that wings should have a durability for damage taken by mobs (armor) & can only have a max time you can fly so its more of a travel accessory rather than a battle one.

Good luck!

Thanks for supporting. im afraid what you are suggesting is what i think is too much.Added supporters list to main post.

AWESOME NEW THING ADDED TO MAIN POST

The only thing I could say to make this better is there should be multiple types of wings. The default one is always the Angel Wings, but if you craft Angel Wings with a Netherrack they become Demon Wings and if you craft Angel Wings with an Enderpearl they become End Wings, which resemble a jetpack shooting purple particles. All the changes are strictly cosmetic and don't change how the wings work or their stats.

Noted editing main post.

If this was truly implemented, I wouldn't even use it or even craft one for that matter due to this game being focused on mining and building. It would be more appropriate to simply use ladders instead of wings.

We are nearing 10 supporters! This is a milestone for me because none of my ideas have gotten so much support!

added some more cosmetic wings.

Phoenix Wings: Surround a set of Angel Wings with 8 Blaze Powders. The result will have orange and yellow feathers and trail fire particles when flying.

And on an unrelated sidenote, I totally forgot to mention that this idea would be a perfect completion for my Pit/"Kid Icarus" MC skin.

I think this is a good idea, but I think the crafting recipe should cost more or be harder to get. the reason why I am saying this is because it costs only one diamond. If you know how to diamond mine you can get 32 diamonds in 30 mins and then you can make a lot of wing and you can go anywhere. I think the repairing should cost a diamond instead of emerald. (emerald to easy to get)

I'm iffy on this one. When I think flight, I don't think: "I'm a pretty angel ". I think:

Okay, let's gather all the materials needed - which would probably take 20 days... oh, just checked the wiki and realized I need to level the area. Ok, the area's leveled- aw crap, I don't have enough Iron. Let's go raid that guy over there... Almost done..... and voila! A flying machine! Let's go!

I personally think that flight should require an excessive amount of materals, and the return rate is pathetic if you screw up and crash.

Edited main post

I think it'll either be too overpowered or too expensive and it'd be impossible to get the right balance, I also think it doesn't fit that well with the game concept.

I would consider supporting a cheaper version which uses plenty of feathers and just allows gliding as I think it's more realistic (and we already have feather falling boots so it so it wouldn't be too radical), can't be used to break adventure maps or grief servers (flying over barriers but would probably get disabled by the servers anyway), doesn't give easy ways out of fights and doesn't make glowstone harvesting and scaling nether fortresses too easily. I'd also definitely support a method of crafting feather falling boots using feathers and something else, for example leather, as it may cut out enchanting but only has leather durabily and provides a good enchanting replacement for low levels. It also means it is still worth enchanting boots to get feather falling (and protection etc) on better boots i.e. iron etc (which realistically couldn't have feather falling without a magical enchantment.)

Thanks for all the feedback

Mmm, you say wings? But I prefer flying machine! You will have to cycle and propeller will rotate... But it really uses your hunger bar. Maybe tiltwing plane? Or micro plane?

Maybe instead of 1 hunger every 4.5 seconds, maybe... half a heart of damage for every 30 seconds, and when you get to one half-heart remaining, you glide down at the speed of a chicken. And the durability may be a little too low, but with a few adjustments, I'd have to say support!EDIT: The durability should be instead 500, and each specialized wing set will have different durability, preferably the ones with harder to get resources giving more durability than the last. Just a thought.

Uhh... there's plenty suggestions and mods for those... but really, I haven't seen many for wings...

With full hunger, this gives you 45 seconds of flight. That seems fine. I like everything except the recipes. They seem very unusual. Surrounding a feather with torches?

Half support.

Is flight a sort of airplane-flight or creative-mode flight? I want the former.

Hi guys. This was my old account. I would like to continue this post. But is it ok to copy the OP down here?

Well?

I'd like to report to have my old thread deleted please.
