Description from the author on Modrinth

Weighted Flight causes Elytra flight to become slower the more armor you're wearing. The better the armor you're wearing the slower / shorter the elytra flight will become.

A player wearing an Elytra and leather gear will fly further than a player wearing Diamond or Netherite.

The following options can be configured in the config:

  • armorPieceShare - How much the number of armor pieces matters compared to their armor value (0 = value only, 1 = pieces only)
  • toughnessShare - How much armor toughness matters compared to armor value, makes Netherite heavier than Diamond
  • maxElytraSlowdown - Maximum slowdown per tick for a fully armored player (0 to disable)
  • armorWeightCurve - How quickly the slowdown ramps up (1 = linear, higher = light armor barely matters)
