Description
No Elytra Mod
No Elytra Mod is a lightweight server-side Fabric mod that gives you full control over elytra flight using a flexible rule-based system.
The mod does not remove or unequip elytra and does not affect Creative mode.
It simply enforces server rules and prevents flight when conditions are not met.
“You can wear it. You just can’t fly.”
✨ Features
- Disable elytra flight based on rules:
- 📍 Dimensions (
minecraft:overworld,minecraft:the_end, modded worlds) - 🌧 Weather conditions (rain, thunder)
- 📍 Dimensions (
- Modular rule-based architecture (easy to extend)
- Elytra flight remains enabled:
- in Creative mode
- when no restriction rules apply
- Fully server-side (no client installation required)
- Command-based configuration
- Automatic config saving
- No datapacks required
🧠 How It Works
The mod uses a rule system:
- each rule checks a specific condition (dimension, weather, etc.)
- if any rule blocks flight, elytra gliding is disabled
- players receive a contextual message explaining why
No teleportation, no damage, no hacks — just clean control.

🔌 Extending the Mod
The mod uses Java's ServiceLoader to automatically load rules.
This makes it easy to add new restriction types such as:
- time of day
- biomes
- player-specific rules
🤝 Compatibility
