Spawn Elytra – like in Craft Attack

Overview

Bring CraftAttack-style elytra flight mechanics to your spawn area! This plugin lets players double-jump for elytra gliding and boost with the F key (Java) or Sneak (Bedrock) – no actual elytra wings required.

Works out of the box with a simple radius around spawn, or set up a fully custom rectangular area and center point in-game with /spawnelytra setup and /spawnelytra center – no config editing needed.

Features

| Feature | Description |
|———|————-|
| Double-jump Flight | Activate elytra gliding anywhere within the spawn area |
| Circle or Rectangle Area | Classic radius, a fixed box, or draw one in-game with /spawnelytra setup |
| Custom Center Point | Move the flight area off the vanilla world spawn with /spawnelytra center |
| Smart Boost System | F-key boost for Java players, Sneak boost for Bedrock players, with optional multi-boost + cooldown |
| Max Flight Duration | Optional cap on flight time with a boss bar/title countdown – closes the “fly forever” exploit |
| Bedrock Compatible | Full Geyser/Floodgate support with a virtual elytra system |
| Fully Custom Messages | Every player-facing message lives in messages.yml with color codes and placeholders |
| Particle Visualization | /spawnelytra visualize outlines the current area so you can see exactly where it is |
| No Fall Damage | Safe landings guaranteed, including forced landings from the flight timer |
| World-Specific | Configure which world the feature works in |
| Permission System | Fine-grained access control |
| Privacy-Focused | Optional bStats metrics (can be disabled in config) |

Why Choose SpawnElytra?

• Cross-platform – Works seamlessly with Java & Bedrock players
• Set up entirely in-game – no need to hand-calculate coordinates for a custom area
• Lightweight, event-driven, minimal performance impact
• Highly configurable, down to every message players see

Configuration

SpawnElytra ships with two config files:

• config.yml – spawn area shape/radius, boost settings, flight duration limit, toggles for every message
• messages.yml – the actual text for every message, with & color codes and placeholders

A custom rectangular area and/or center point (set via /spawnelytra setup/center) are stored separately in a plugin-managed area.yml and take priority over config.yml, without ever touching or overwriting your comments there. Run /spawnelytra info to see what’s actually active.

Note: Without a custom center, the plugin uses your world’s spawn point (/setworldspawn) as the center for flight activation.

Bedrock Edition Support

SpawnElytra automatically detects Bedrock players via Floodgate or the Geyser-Spigot API and provides:

• Virtual elytra system – No need for physical elytra items
• Sneak-to-boost – Natural boost mechanic for Bedrock controls
• Chestplate preservation – Saved on the player’s own data and restored on landing, death, or world change
• Inventory protection – The virtual elytra can’t be displaced by equipping other armor mid-flight

Works with Geyser and Floodgate for seamless cross-play!
