Description

You might know this feature from CraftAttack - this is exactly the same, but better!
A Minecraft plugin that enables elytra-like flight mechanics at spawn without requiring actual elytra wings. Double-jump to soar through the air and boost yourself with the F key!
Enhanced with features inspired by blax-k's SpawnElytra implementation
