Elytra Hopper
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
Elytra Hopper is heavily inspired by Elytra Recast, but for Minecraft 26.1.x and 26.2.x.
If/when Elytra Recast updates, you should use it instead!
Features
- After opening your elytra, holding jump keeps it open after landing so you can hop around and build momentum.
- Landing in water can close your elytra so you can swim normally.
- Reduces jump cooldown while holding jump, with a configurable delay from 0 to 10 ticks.
- Includes a JSON config file.
- Includes Mod Menu support with a vanilla-style config screen.
- Adds optional unbound controls for toggling the mod, recast/hopping, and water-closing behavior.
