Magic Feather is my take on a more balanced Angel Ring from Extra Utilities.
It adds a feather that grants the player creative flight while within the range of an active vanilla Beacon.
This allows the player to enjoy the benefits of creative flight while building, without making exploration trivial.
If you wish to configure the range in which you can fly, check you Configurable Beacons, it's a companion mods that gives you more control over how beacons work. (You can change the range without it but it's better with)
You're free to use this in any modpack.
This mod is awesome, but will you update it again and fix the bugs?
suggested addon when approaching edge of beacon
Just wanted to report that the mod sometimes doesn't work. I'm not sure why it doesn't, or what is preventing it from actually working as intended, but even when you're in radius of a beacon it doesn't work. https://gyazo.com/9cef349e0d264a7c54cbc44c4b522564
Would it be possible to add an option that this will *not* work if mobs are nearby? and maybe a configurable range, how near mobs have to be that it'll disable itself.
I just think this could be cheesed a bit otherwise.

I hope that’d only be the case with hostile mobs.
Would it be possible to add a config option or a whitelist to allow other mods to grant creative flight capabilities? I really like the idea and theme of this mod and I really like making exploration worthwhile again, but eventually, I want trivialized exploration to be an option just like trivialized resource gathering or trivialized power or trivialized everything else in modded minecraft.
Also, there are some mods where other kinds of flight are pretty much a requirement. The Aether is a big one, as is Abyssalcraft. Draconic Evolution as well.
If that's too far from your personally philosophy, I totally get it. I was hoping to use this mod as a way to get midgame flight for base-building, with a transition to more powerful flight methods later on. I personally feel like that once I've gotten Avaritia's Infinity Armor (for example), exploration isn't a challenge anymore. But it's your mod, your choice.
Also, someone's opened a github issue calling the complete disabling of creative flight a bug. I wasn't sure whether it was a bug or a design choice, so I thought I'd ask and make a request.

I cannot get this to work. I have 6 beacons, I have tried the feather on my hotbar, in my hand, and in my offhand. all with no flying whenever I double jump
In reply to Bitterlank:
Literally last week I said "I wish someone would make flight tethering. Maybe base it around beacons or some other block."
Woah, that's an awesome idea!
Edit: You forgot to mention that the feather will never despawn (or at least will but in about 3.5 years)
This is a very cool idea. Essentially, the same as rftools environmental controller with the flight module in it, but with beacons and no power needed to run it. :)
Where would you get this Magic Feather item? I think it would be PERFECT as dungeon loot, or a rare purple robe villager trade.
This is awesome! Do you think it might be possible to add a magic feather that acts as a jetpack, along with the creative flight variant?
Although I see where the balanced comes from, I think one thing would be amazing even if its an option on the config..
Register the flight as an effect granted by the beacon, That way, You have to use either flight or speed or health or jump etc..
This is perhaps the best example of 'balanced' flight I have seen in a long time. Very clever all around
is there a temporary feather falling or complete fall damage immunity if you fly outside the beacon range?
