About this Mod
Fly with nostalgia
Fly with nostalgia is a mod adding a retro flight mode, similar to the pre-creative days of Minecraft. Players with the retro flight mode active can walk through the air on glass platforms which slowly disappear behind them.

Commands
/fly
Enables or disables retro flight mode for the player. All the arguments are optional.
Command format: /fly <targets> <radius> <enable>
targets - choose one or more players for whom the retro flight mode will be toggled.radius - set how big the platform should be (in blocks around the player). Defaults to 3.enable - specify if the flight should be enabled (true) or disabled (false).
Permissions
Command responsible for toggling the retro flight mode offers granular permissions for target selection
and platform radius specification as well as a general permission for the base command usage.
fly_with_nostalgia.command.fly - usage of base /fly command (with an optional true/false enable/disable parameter)fly_with_nostalgia.command.fly.target - selection of a different player to enable flight mode for
using the target parameterfly_with_nostalgia.command.fly.radius - customization of a platform radius using the radius parameter
All specified permissions are false by default. Server operators with vanilla permission level equal
or above 2 are considered to have all permissions.
Loader-specific information
(Neo)Forge - corresponding loader's native permissions systems are used. External permission management mod
is required for assigning them only.
Sponge - native permission system is used. Permission management plugin is needed for assigning them.
Fabric - this loader does not provide any permission checking out of the box.
Permissions will be checked using fabric-permissions-api mod, if available.
The fabric-permissions-api-v0 library mod for registering the permissions as well as
a compatible permission management mod for assigning the registered permissions need to be installed.
Otherwise, the mod falls back to vanilla permission levels (op).
