VO: Creative Fly Speed

🦅 Creative Fly Speed

"Unchain Creative Flight. Precision Maneuvering Meets Hypersonic World Navigation."

📖 Introduction

Building mega-structures, designing massive redstone contraptions, and surveying vast terrain in Minecraft's Creative Mode is often crippled by vanilla's sluggish, one-speed flight mechanics. Double-tapping sprint grants a minor boost, but traversing thousands of blocks to inspect a biome or locate a structure still takes agonizing minutes. Conversely, when placing delicate stair blocks or wiring tight redstone circuits inside compact interiors, vanilla flight velocity is too fast and floaty, causing you to constantly overshoot your target.

Creative Fly Speed gives you total, fluid mastery over flight dynamics. Designed with architectural precision under the Vanilla Outsider collection, it introduces dynamic mouse-scroll flight speed adjustment, sprint momentum scaling, calibrated vertical vs horizontal thrust, configurable inertia damping, and server-side packet authorization to eliminate annoying rubberbanding on multiplayer servers.

1 Jar 1 Version Policy: I build 1 dedicated JAR for each Minecraft version (e.g. MC 26.2, MC 26.3). Please download the exact build that matches your Minecraft installation. Multiplayer Architecture: Works as a lightweight server mod with client synchronization. On dedicated servers running Creative Fly Speed, clients can fly at supersonic speeds without triggering vanilla "Flying is not enabled on this server" kicks or velocity rubberbanding!

Part of the Vanilla Outsider Collection — modern mods designed to refine and elevate the vanilla Minecraft experience.

✨ Features

🎡 Dynamic Mouse-Scroll Speed Tuning

• On-the-Fly Velocity Adjustment: Hold Left Alt (configurable) and scroll your mouse wheel up or down while flying to seamlessly scale your flight speed from a crawl ($0.1\times$) up to supersonic velocity ($20.0\times$).
• Sub-Block Precision Mode: Dial speed down to $0.05\times$ for micrometer-level block placement, fine interior decoration, or cinematic camera tracking.
• HUD Speed Bar Narration: Displays a clean, discreet action bar readout (e.g. ✈️ Fly Speed: 3.5x) that fades away smoothly when adjustment ceases.

⚡ Calibrated Vertical & Horizontal Vector Physics

• Independent Vertical Thrust: Vanilla flight often feels unbalanced when ascending or descending. Creative Fly Speed allows independent calibration of vertical ascension speed (creative_fly_speed:vertical_thrust_ratio), making towering mega-build ascents effortless.
• Sprint Momentum Surge: Double-tap sprint while flying to engage a configurable secondary momentum surge ($1.5\times$ to $5.0\times$ boost), perfect for quick bursts across build plots.
• Inertia & Drift Elimination: Eliminate vanilla's floaty slide upon releasing movement keys with customizable inertia damping for instant, crisp stopping.

🛡️ Server-Side Anti-Rubberband Enforcement

• Smooth Dedicated Server Synchronization: On vanilla servers, flying faster than vanilla speed thresholds causes the server to constantly drag your position backward (rubberband) or kick you for illegal movement packets.
• Integrated Server Guard: Creative Fly Speed handles player ability velocity packets authoritatively on the server, synchronizing custom velocity limits so all builders on your creative server enjoy silky smooth flight.

🎮 In-Game Commands & Quick Controls

Creative Fly Speed provides intuitive Brigadier commands for quick velocity calibration:

# Set your current flight speed multiplier to 3.5x
/flyspeed set 3.5

# Reset flight speed multiplier to default vanilla speed (1.0x)
/flyspeed reset

# Inspect your current horizontal and vertical flight metrics
/flyspeed status

Server-Side GameRules

Server administrators can enforce global bounds and velocity ceilings using native namespaced GameRules:

📖 In-Depth How-To & Gameplay Playbook

Step 1: Installing for Singleplayer or Servers

1. Install Fabric Loader and Fabric API for Minecraft 26.2+ / 26.3+.
2. Place creative-fly-speed-x.y.z+.jar into your mods/ directory.
3. If running a dedicated server, install it on the server as well to unlock high-speed server authorization.

Step 2: Navigating Large Creative Worlds

• Double-tap Space to enter creative flight.
• Hold Left Alt and scroll your mouse wheel forward: watch the action bar indicate Fly Speed: 2.0x → 4.0x → 8.0x.
• Press W to cross vast oceans and continents in seconds!
• When you reach your build site, hold Left Alt and scroll backward down to 0.2x or 0.5x to place glass, stairs, and fine details with pixel-perfect control.

Step 3: Admin World Plot Setup

• For servers hosting creative build contests, set /gamerule creative_fly_speed:max_allowed_multiplier 5.0 to balance builder mobility with server chunk-generation performance.

📖 Introduction

Building massive mega-structures, laying complex redstone contraptions, or surveying vast landscapes in Minecraft's Creative Mode can be frustrating with vanilla's sluggish, fixed flight speed. Double-tapping sprint gives only a small speed boost, leaving long-distance navigation slow and tedious. On the other hand, when trying to detail interiors or place blocks in tight quarters, vanilla flight can feel too fast and floaty, causing you to constantly overshoot your target.

Creative Fly Speed gives you complete, calibrated control over your creative and spectator flight velocities. Built with lightweight server-authoritative architecture under the Vanilla Outsider Collection, it introduces permille-based speed multipliers ($1000 = 1.0\times$), independent Creative vs. Spectator GameRules, an ergonomic /cfs Brigadier command suite, and an optional ModMenu & YACL client configuration screen.

[!IMPORTANT] 1 Jar 1 Version Policy: I build 1 dedicated JAR for each Minecraft version (e.g. MC 1.20.1, MC 1.21.1, MC 1.21.11, MC 26.1.2, MC 26.2, MC 26.3). Please download the exact build that matches your Minecraft installation!

Multiplayer Architecture (Server-Authoritative): Install on your dedicated server and all players can fly at custom speeds! Vanilla clients can connect freely with zero required client-side mod installations. Installing on the client enables the optional in-game configuration GUI.

✨ Features

⚡ Pure $O(1)$ Lightweight Velocity Scaling

• Zero Heap Allocations: Computes velocity on player tick with pure primitive arithmetic ($0\text{ bytes}$ GC pressure).
• Stale State Gating: Only updates player abilities when the target speed actually changes, generating zero unnecessary network packets.

🎯 Granular Permille Speed Calibration

• Intuitive Permille Multipliers: Speeds are configured in permille, where $1000 = 1.0\times$ default vanilla flight speed ($0.05\text{ blocks/tick}$).
• Micro-Building Precision: Dial speed down to $200$ ($0.2\times$) or $500$ ($0.5\times$) for micro-block placement and cinematic camera passes.
• Supersonic Traversal: Dial speed up to $2500$ ($2.5\times$), $5000$ ($5.0\times$), or higher for lightning-fast terrain exploration.

🛡️ Independent Creative & Spectator Speeds

• Separate GameRules: Calibrate Creative building speed and Spectator exploration speed independently without conflicting rules.
• Survival Integrity: When switching back to Survival or Adventure mode, your player abilities immediately revert to standard vanilla values.

🎮 Ergonomic In-Game Brigadier Command Suite

• Fast Commands: Use /cfs or /creativeflyspeed to inspect current flight speeds, change values live, or reset to vanilla defaults.
• Permission Safe: Read-only commands (/cfs status, /cfs help, /cfs get) are available to all players; mutation commands require Game Master permissions (Operator level 2).

🖥️ Optional Client Configuration Screen

• Seamless GUI: When ModMenu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) are installed on the client, access a clean visual slider settings menu directly from the Pause menu or ModMenu.
• Dual-Context Sync: In singleplayer, slider adjustments immediately update live GameRules in real time and persist to config/vo_creative_fly_speed.json.

🌐 Clean World Save Resilience

• Zero World Clutter: The mod stores no custom NBT entities or broken chunk data. Removing the mod at any time leaves world saves completely uncorrupted.
