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

All changes made via commands are saved automatically.

❓ 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.
