Elytra Flight Detector

Elytra Flight Detector is a lightweight client-side Minecraft mod for Fabric 1.21.4+ that detects when the player is ACTUALLY flying with an Elytra — not just wearing one.

The mod uses real Elytra flight detection (isFallFlying()) and displays a customizable HUD indicator while gliding.

Perfect for PvP, survival, exploration, movement practice, and players who want clear visual feedback during Elytra flight.
