About this Mod
Reliable Gliders
A mod that adds a simple, immersive, and balanced Glider to the game!
Features
- Easy Gliding! Simply hold the Glider in your main hand or off-hand and jump to activate it! It will drastically
slow your fall and allow you to cover far distances. - Configurable Updrafts: Gliding over blocks tagged with
reliable_gliders:updraft_blocks(default: Fire, Lava, and
Campfires) will give you a small boost. - Dyeing: Gliders can be dyed similar to Leather Armor for extra personalization!
- Durability: The glider has durability and takes damage every second it's being used. It will also completely
negate your fall damage while in use. Gliders are also compatible with mending and unbreaking.

Gliding!

Gliders can be dyed like Leather Armor!
