Disclaimer
⚠️ Disclaimer: This is a fork. I am not the original creator. The original mod was developed by Txnimc, with a later fork by Sintinium.
This version updates the mod for compatibility with Create 6.0.x.
About the Mod
Create: Balanced Flight seeks to bridge the gap between early-game convenience and meaningful late-game progression. It’s designed to be the only flight mod in your modpack — no jetpacks, gliders, or competing rings — offering a balanced, Create-compatible flight system.
Two Flight Options
-
Ascended Flight Ring
Grants Creative-style unlimited flight. Requires an Elytra to craft, making it an end-game reward. -
Flight Anchor
A rotationally-powered block that provides flight within a radius based on how much RPM it receives. Each 1 RPM gives 1 block of flight radius. Vertical flight is unlimited. However, the stress cost can be very high, requiring efficient setups.
Elytra Enhancements
To keep Elytra flight fun and relevant:
- No Elytra durability loss
- Take off from the ground with Elytra
- Infinite “free” firework boost while sprinting and holding W
- Crouch + C to launch into the air and begin gliding
These changes are fully configurable, and the Ascended Ring remains a high-cost item that modpack authors can balance as they see fit.
Requirements
- Create Mod (v6.0.x)
- Curios API
- Geckolib
Credits

+ Add Version### ✨ Improvements & Compatibility
- Improved mod compatibility with survival flight mechanics**
- Optimized beacon checks to reduce server load**
### 🛠️ Technical Notes
- The creative flight ability is no longer forcibly removed unless it was granted by this mod directly (e.g., via Ascended Rings or Flight Anchors).
- This change ensures smoother integration with other mods that grant flight under survival conditions (e.g., tech mods, custom gear, or status effects).
### ⚠️ Known Issues
- The light beam (beacon effect) that appears above flight anchors in the Overworld
- may not render** in other dimensions. This is a visual issue only — the beam is still being generated internally.
### ⚠️ Important Configuration Note
- Currently, configuration values must be set manually and identically on both server and client sides.**
may cause inconsistent behavior or bugs. Please ensure the configuration files on both ends match.
- Flight anchors can now be configured to work in specific dimensions.
in which dimensions they are allowed to function.
### ⚙️ Behavior
- Flight anchors now allow flying based on their RPM (power level), even in other dimensions.

Added translations for Spanish (es_es) and Portuguese (pt_br, pt_pt).
- Fixed reduced mining speed while flying by applying the Haste effect. This behavior is now configurable in the mod's config file.**
- Added Mexican Spanish and Simplified Chinese translations.**
