Overview
Bring CraftAttack-style elytra flight mechanics to your spawn area! This plugin lets players double-jump for elytra gliding and boost with the F key (Java) or Sneak (Bedrock) - no actual elytra wings required.
Works out of the box with a simple radius around spawn, or set up a fully custom rectangular area and center point in-game with /spawnelytra setup and /spawnelytra center - no config editing needed.

| Privacy-Focused | Optional bStats metrics (can be disabled in config) |
Why Choose SpawnElytra?
- Cross-platform - Works seamlessly with Java & Bedrock players
- Set up entirely in-game - no need to hand-calculate coordinates for a custom area
- Lightweight, event-driven, minimal performance impact
- Highly configurable, down to every message players see
Configuration
SpawnElytra ships with two config files:
config.yml- spawn area shape/radius, boost settings, flight duration limit, toggles for every messagemessages.yml- the actual text for every message, with&color codes and placeholders
A custom rectangular area and/or center point (set via /spawnelytra setup/center) are stored separately in a plugin-managed area.yml and take priority over config.yml, without ever touching or overwriting your comments there. Run /spawnelytra info to see what's actually active.
Note: Without a custom center, the plugin uses your world's spawn point (/setworldspawn) as the center for flight activation.

- Virtual elytra system - No need for physical elytra items
- Sneak-to-boost - Natural boost mechanic for Bedrock controls
- Chestplate preservation - Saved on the player's own data and restored on landing, death, or world change
