/permissions command

Sets the permission level in which players can use basic Survival Fly commands. These commands include:

  • /flight
  • /flightspeed
  • /flightstatus

Permission levels:

Regular (default option)

  • Anyone can use commands.

Moderator

  • Players that bypass spawn protection can use commands.

Gamemaster

  • Players that have higher authority, such as permission to use command blocks, change gamemode, change difficulty, etc. can use comands.

Admin

  • Only players with operator can use commands.

Note: Permission level "Regular" means that players can only use Survival Fly commands on themselves. Only operators can use these commands on other players.

(since: v1.3)


LuckPerms Integration

You can use LuckPerms with this mod! (Fabric, NeoForged and Forge only)

Only compatible on version 1.3 of the mod or higher.

Permission Nodes for Survival Fly

  • "survivalfly.flight" - Allows /flight and /flightstatus execution on self.
  • "survivalfly.flight_speed" - Allows /flightspeed execution on self.

Note: LuckPerms is optional! Meaning, if you don't want to use LuckPerms:

  1. Command permissions are based on Survival Fly's built-in "permission" system, which you can view above.
  2. With LuckPerms installed, permissions are determined by the permission nodes, listed above.

Due to a NeoForged 1.21.1 incompatibility issue w/ LuckPerms, LuckPerms will not work with this version of Minecraft on NeoForged.


For older version players (1.21.11 [not including 1.21.1], and below)

Players should install this mod for themselves client-side, otherwise they will not be able to read messages when executing commands.

Commands will still work, but messages will be unreadable. This issue has been fixed in version 1.3 for Minecraft 26.1 and above.

To change permission level for commands, locate the "survivalfly-config.json" file, and set the permission level to one of the following strings:

  • "REGULAR" (now called "ANYONE" on version 1.3 and above)
  • "MODERATOR"
  • "GAMEMASTER"
  • "ADMIN"
  • "OWNER" (no longer exists in version 1.3 and above)

Frequently Asked Questions

Survival Fly server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (26.1.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Survival Fly compatible with fabric and forge and neoforge?

Survival Fly officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge for Minecraft 26.1.2, 26.1.1, 26.1. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Survival Fly – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Survival Fly consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
