That aim being to make the use of elytra in the game more enjoyable for the user.
The mod inserts a key binding which allows the player to boost in the direction their cursor is facing.
The strength of this boost is adjustable using the configuration file and the in-game configuration menu, the mod also adds the functionality of allowing the player to auto equip the elytra after being in the air for the amount of time set in the config. This is able to be toggled on and off and does not affect players in creative mode.
This mod is for both the client and server but it can be enabled to work without the server from within the config, (may be against server rules depending on the server, check first)
You may use this mod in a modpack with no attribution, though it would be nice if you did attribute it to me. Feel free to use the mod as you please however please note I am not responsible for your use of the mod. Do not attempt to reverse engineer this mod, if you wish to have access to the original files or have any other things you wish to contact me about, please contact me [email protected]
Why I made this mod:
The intent was never to make this for cheating but only so you could increase elytra flying time because let's admit it it is very fun.
On a side note: what should go without saying:
If you use this on multiplayer in a server without the server side installed and the server bans you for cheating or something.... that is your fault, so don't do it unless you are prepared for whatever consequences may occur from it. Only 👏 use 👏 it 👏 on 👏 servers 👏 that 👏 support it 👏
Background info
I created this small mod in less than 5 hours *(at first and then I changed like a billion things in updates)...
and then I completely rewrote it for 1.12.2 because I lost the source code...
Many of the super old updates are broken, hence suggest you only download ones from the Curse Forge page.
Download 1.12.2
Installation:
Install a compatible version of forge (presumed to work from 1.9.4 and onwards)
Remove any outdated mods from the mods folder.
Put this mod in the mod folder :3 and you're done
On the server, it is recommended that you set the disableElytraMovementCheck gamerule to true/

Auto equip elytra when in air for 500 milliseconds,
Add 0.5 m/s in velocity on pressing the boost key (which defaults to
Equalize off

Removed elytra-less boost because it is just plain cheating and doesn't work on multiplayer
Various bug fixes
Added auto equip elytra feature
Added ingame config menu
-Compiled the right version this time
Bad Description:
This is a simple mod that lets you fly for longer by adding velocity in the direction you are facing (and a few other things)
What it does:
On pressing the "Elytra Boost Button" ( defaults to B ) and whilst using a elytra you can add speed in the direction you are going to make yourself go faster stopping you from ever having to touch the ground!
Hi there, i was searching for a mod like yours for weeks awesome job!
there's only plugins for that, but im playing modded singleplayer. So, i wanted to ask, could you make your mod compatible with Backlytra (it's a mod who lets you add elytra to older mc versions). I would be really grateful, because i'm playing with some mods, which haven't been updated yet (minecraft 1.8.9)
- Saadar
P.S. you could add an feature to make elytra autoglide (without the need to press spacebar) when theres space beneath you, like in the snapshots ^.^
Hi, I made a simpler version that should work with the backlytra mod for 1.8.9, it is just the boost key and a out of game config option but your other suggestion has been added to the latest version.
Okay, I made a big mistake! (for the 1.9.4+ version) (now fixed in latest 1.9.4 version)
So, as many of you who have downloaded the mod may have realized it boosts when you are not using the elytra... the reason for this?
I uploaded the wrong file! (only to curse but I imagine this is where I am getting the majority of downloads)
This might have been obvious to some of you considering the download page said 'Release 1.2.3' and you weirdly got a file that said 'elytraBoost-1.2' and none of you told me :3. Just kidding, it's my fault entirely.

Just kidding, it's my fault entirely.Hello, can you implement Ender IO's Dark Steel Armor support? It has an Elytra upgrade, but I think this mod doesn't work with it.
