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

Features

• Double-jump to fly - Activate elytra gliding anywhere within the spawn radius
• Enhanced boost mechanics - Press F (Java) or Sneak (Bedrock) to get a speed boost while flying
• Bedrock/Geyser compatible - Full support for Bedrock Edition players via GeyserMC, virtual elytra cannot be displaced by inventory actions
• World-specific - Configure which world the feature works in
• No fall damage - Players won't take damage while using the elytra
• Lightweight - Minimal performance impact with efficient event handling
• Sound effects - Configurable boost sounds for better feedback
• Update checker - Notifies ops on first join after restart if a new version is available
• Admin commands - /spawnelytra reload and /spawnelytra info
• Permission system - Fine-grained control over who can use what features
• Anonymous metrics - Optional bStats integration (can be disabled in config)
• Flexible spawn radius - Option to ignore Y coordinate so players can fly at any height within the radius

Installation

1. Download the latest .jar file from the releases page
2. Place it in your server's plugins folder
3. Restart your server
4. Configure the plugin in plugins/SpawnElytra/config.yml

Configuration

The plugin uses the world spawn point as the center for flight activation. This is the exact location where players spawn when they first join the server or use the /spawn command. You can set this location using the /setworldspawn command.

world: world                      # The world where the feature works
spawnRadius: 50                   # Radius around spawn where players can start flying
boostEnabled: true                # Whether the boost feature is enabled
multiplyValue: 5                  # Velocity multiplier for the boost
boostDirection: forward           # Direction of boost: 'forward' or 'upward'
boostSound: ENTITY_BAT_TAKEOFF    # Sound played when boosting
message: "Press %key% to boost yourself."  # Action bar message (%key% = F/Sneak)
showBoostMessage: true            # Show boost activation message
showActivationMessage: true       # Show flight activation message
ignoreYInSpawnRadius: false       # When true: only X/Z distance checked (ignore height)
checkForUpdates: true             # Check Modrinth for updates on startup
debugMode: false                  # When true: verbose save/load logging enabled
enableMetrics: true               # Send anonymous usage statistics to bStats
