To Glide

Take to the skies—no wings required.

To Glide adds a simple but immersive gliding system to Minecraft, letting you slow your fall and travel through the air using handheld gliders. Whether you’re exploring mountains, escaping danger, or just enjoying the view, gliding gives you a new way to move through the world.

Features

• Handheld Gliders Activate a glider mid-air to reduce fall speed and glide forward.

• Smooth Aerial Movement Control your descent and momentum for a natural, responsive flying experience.

• Toggle System Turn gliding on and off instantly while in the air.

• Dyeable Gliders Customize your glider’s appearance with any color.

• Third-Person Animations Dynamic arm positioning and item alignment while gliding for better immersion.

• No Elytra Required Glide early-game without needing rare endgame items.

How It Works

1. Hold a glider in your main hand
2. Jump or fall from a height
3. Right-click mid-air to activate gliding
4. Control your descent and direction
5. Right-click again to deactivate

You must be slightly above the ground to start gliding.
