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)
• 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.

⚙️ Requirements

• Minecraft 1.21.7
• Fabric Loader
• Fabric API (latest for 1.21.7)
• Java 21

🔌 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

• Designed for server environments
• Works with modded dimensions (if properly registered)
• Compatible with most Fabric-based server setups

No Elytra

No Elytra is a lightweight server-side Fabric mod that allows you to disable elytra flight in selected dimensions without breaking item mechanics or requiring any client-side installation.

The mod does not remove or unequip elytra and does not affect Creative mode. It simply enforces world rules in a clean and predictable way:

“You can’t fly in this dimension.”

✨ Features

• Disable elytra gliding in any dimension (minecraft:overworld, minecraft:the_end, modded/custom dimensions)

• Elytra flight is allowed:

  • in Creative mode
  • in dimensions not listed in the config

  • Command-based management

  • Automatic config saving

  • No datapacks required

  • Fully server-side (clients don’t need the mod)

⚙️ Requirements

• Minecraft: 1.21.7
• Loader: Fabric
• Fabric API: latest version for 1.21.7
• Java: 21

📦 Installation

1. Install Fabric Loader
2. Place noelytra.jar into the mods folder
3. Start the server

A config file will be generated on first launch:

/config/noelytra.json

🧠 How it works

Every server tick, the mod:

• checks players
• ignores Creative mode
• detects the current dimension
• disables elytra gliding if the dimension is blocked

No teleporting, no damage, no item removal.

🛠 Commands

Disable elytra flight in a dimension:

/noelytra deny minecraft:overworld

Allow elytra flight:

/noelytra allow minecraft:overworld

List blocked dimensions:

/noelytra list

Supports tab-completion for registered dimensions.

🗂 Configuration

  ]
}

❓ FAQ

Why use dimension IDs as strings instead of enums? To properly support custom and modded dimensions.

Does this work with modded dimensions? Yes, as long as the dimension is registered in the world registry.

Does it break elytra items? No. The elytra remains equipped; only gliding is disabled.
