DimensionElytra

Take control of where players can fly.

DimensionElytra is a lightweight, server-side Fabric mod that gives server administrators full control over Elytra flight across Minecraft dimensions.

Whether you want to disable Elytra flight in the End, restrict flying in the Nether, or configure custom rules for modded dimensions, DimensionElytra makes it simple without changing the vanilla Elytra item.

Features

Dimension-Based Flight Control

• Enable or disable Elytra flight independently for each dimension.
• Supports the Overworld, Nether, and End.
• Compatible with custom dimensions added by other mods.
• Configure a default flight policy for dimensions without explicit rules.

Fully Configurable

• JSON-based configuration.
• Individual dimension rules.
• Configurable player exemptions.
• Customizable restriction messages.
• Optional logging and notification settings.

Server-Side Enforcement

• Prevent players from starting Elytra flight in restricted dimensions.
• Stop active gliding when a restriction applies.
• Automatically apply the appropriate rules when players change dimensions.
• No client-side installation required.

Administrator Controls

• Manage dimension permissions through server commands.
• Reload configuration without restarting the server.
• Check current flight restrictions.
• Configure exemptions for authorized players.
