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.

Note: The plugin currently uses a Mixin to register a world tick listener. That is planned to be replaced with Sponge API in future releases.

First release of a plugin for adding a flight mode similar to the pre-creative age of Minecraft. Retro flying mode can be toggled using the provided ‘/fly’ command. Glass platform spawns underneath player’s feet as long as the surrounding blocks are either air or liquids. Platform radius is configurable per-player using the command. Crouching temporarily removes the platform.
