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 (swap hands) to get a speed boost while flying
• 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
• Admin commands - /spawnelytra reload and /spawnelytra info
• Permission system - Fine-grained control over who can use what features
• Better messages - Enhanced action bar messages with keybind support

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.

spawnRadius: 50           # Radius around spawn where players can start flying
multiplyValue: 5          # Velocity multiplier for the boost (F key)
boostEnabled: true        # Whether the boost feature is enabled
world: "world"           # The world where the feature works
message: "Press %key% to boost yourself."  # Action bar message (%key% = F key)

# Enhanced features
boostSound: ENTITY_BAT_TAKEOFF    # Sound played when boosting
boostDirection: forward           # Direction of boost: 'forward' or 'upward'
showBoostMessage: true           # Show boost activation message
showActivationMessage: true      # Show flight activation message
