FlyClip — Toggleable Flight, Noclip & Adjustable Flight Speed
FlyClip is a lightweight, client-side Fabric mod for Minecraft that adds toggleable creative-style flight, wall-pass (noclip) movement, and immunity to fall damage to Survival mode and single-player saves. Its flight speed can be tuned continuously from 1 to 250 blocks per second, either from the Sodium settings page on supported versions or from a built-in settings screen opened with F9. The mod only changes your own client movement; it does not add blocks, items, mobs, or any server-side content.
Overview
Without FlyClip, Survival movement is limited to walking, jumping, swimming, and the limited climbing the terrain allows. You cross distances on foot, you cannot pass through solid blocks, and a fall from height costs health or ends the run. FlyClip adds three optional movement toggles on top of that base game:
- a fly toggle that lets you hover and move through the air in any direction;
- a noclip toggle that lets you walk through walls, terrain and structures;
- fall-damage immunity that keeps those movements from being punished by drops.
Every toggle is off by default, and you decide when to enable or disable them in-game.
Features offered by the project
1. Toggleable flight (F7)
Press F7 to start flying in Survival; press it again to stop. While flying you can move forward, back, left, right, up and down independently, the same way you would in Creative mode, but on a Survival character.
- Flight stays active until you press F7 again; it does not force you to stay airborne.
- When flight is disabled, normal movement returns immediately.
- A small on-screen indicator shows whether flight is currently on.
2. Toggleable noclip / wall-pass (F8)
Press F8 to clip through solid blocks, walls, terrain and structures; press it again to turn noclip off.
- You can move through caves, sealed rooms, buildings, tunnels and other geometry that would normally block your path.
- When noclip is off, you collide with blocks again as usual.
- The on-screen indicator shows whether noclip is active.
3. Fall damage immunity
While the mod is active, fall damage is canceled and your accumulated fall distance is reset. Jumping off a cliff, a bridge, a rooftop or a scaffold no longer deals damage, so you do not lose health after a high drop.
4. Adjustable flight speed, 1–250 blocks per second
The speed is a slider rather than a fixed value, and it can be changed at any time in-game:
- Range: 1 to 250 blocks per second.
- Default: 12 blocks per second, close to a normal creative flying pace.
- The chosen value is saved locally in config/flyclip.json and restored the next time you launch the game.
- The exact location of the slider depends on the Minecraft version:
- On versions where the Sodium settings API is available, the slider appears in the Sodium video settings → FlyClip section.
- On other versions, open the mod's own settings screen with F9 and drag the slider there.
5. On-screen status HUD
A small HUD line in the top-left corner shows:
- whether flight is ON or OFF;
- whether noclip is ON or OFF;
- the current flight speed in blocks per second while flight is active.
This lets you confirm the current mode at a glance without opening any menu.
6. Sprint speed boost
Hold your sprint key while flying to multiply the current flight speed by 2, giving a quick burst over long distances. Release the sprint key to return to the normal flight speed.
7. Persistent local settings
Your speed preference is stored in the game's config/flyclip.json file on your own machine. Other players and the server see no settings file; nothing is uploaded anywhere.
8. Pure client-side implementation
The mod runs entirely on the client. It does not modify the world, other players, blocks placed, or anything on a server, and it adds no server-side requirement.
How these features affect the player's experience
FlyClip changes how fast and how freely you can move through the world:
- Traveling becomes much faster. Instead of walking around mountains, oceans, ravines or long cave systems, you can fly straight over the terrain or clip through it. A low speed gives smooth, controlled cruising; a high speed covers an entire map in seconds.
- You can inspect anything from any angle. Fly above your base, build, redstone contraption or landscape to review layout, lighting and symmetry, or noclip inside walls and structures to see how they are put together without breaking blocks.
- Blocked areas become reachable. Noclip lets you pass through sealed rooms, walls and tunnels that would normally force you to dig a new path or look for another entrance.
- Falls stop being a penalty. With fall damage canceled, you can drop from cliffs, scaffolds or rooftops and keep working without worrying about losing health.
- The pace is yours to tune. A low value suits careful, precise positioning; a middle value feels like fast creative travel; a high value is for crossing long distances. You can switch between slow and fast movement in seconds.
Concrete examples
- Fly over a mountain or across a large ocean to scout a location before walking there.
- Noclip through a wall to get inside a sealed base or an unexplored cave.
- Circle your own build in the air to check lighting, shape and symmetry from above.
- Work on a tall scaffold, drop down, and take no fall damage.
- Set a high speed when crossing long distances, then lower it to line up a precise position.
- Explore a generated cave system through walls instead of digging a long tunnel yourself.

Installation
- Install Fabric Loader for your Minecraft version.
- Install Fabric API and Sodium, matching your Minecraft version.
- Place the FlyClip jar for your version into the mods folder of your instance.
- Launch the game. Flight and noclip start disabled; press F7 or F8 to turn them on.
Notes and compatibility
- The mod is client-side; all movement and settings live in your own client instance.
- On multiplayer servers, anti-cheat rules and detection depend on that server. Use the mod only on saves or servers where you are allowed to, and at your own responsibility.
- The speed slider lives in Sodium's settings where that version exposes a config API; on other versions it is in the F9 built-in screen, as described above.
- Settings are stored in config/flyclip.json; deleting that file resets the speed to the default 12 blocks per second.
