About Paragliders

Soar through the skies with Paragliders, a graceful transportation addon that brings Breath of the Wild-style gliding mechanics to Minecraft through craftable paragliders and magical Deku leaves for aerial exploration. This elegantly simple modification revolutionizes vertical movement by allowing players to glide safely from any height, transforming mountain peaks and tall structures from death traps into launching points for scenic flights. The addon features two gliding options: the practical Paraglider crafted from leather and sticks for survival players, and the whimsical Deku Leaf combining nature's magic with gliding functionality. The automatic deployment system activates whenever you're more than two blocks high and falling, creating seamless transitions from jumping to gliding without complex controls. Glide ratios are carefully balanced to reward height advantage without trivializing ground travel - you'll cover approximately two blocks horizontally for each block of altitude. The physics system accounts for momentum, allowing speed boosts from elytra-style diving or extended flights from updraft columns near lava or soul sand.

Key Features

  • Two glider types: practical Paraglider and magical Deku Leaf
  • Automatic deployment when falling from heights
  • Balanced glide ratio preventing infinite flight
  • Momentum-based physics for advanced techniques
  • Simple crafting recipes using common materials
  • Works seamlessly with existing equipment slots

What Makes This Special

Paragliders brilliantly fills the gap between basic falling and late-game elytra flight, providing mid-game aerial mobility that feels earned yet accessible. The automatic activation removes control complexity while maintaining skill expression through trajectory planning. The Deku Leaf variant adds fantasy flavor for players wanting magical rather than technological flight. The addon respects Minecraft's progression by requiring leather (encouraging animal farming) while remaining cheaper than elytra. The gliding mechanics encourage architectural creativity, as players build tall towers and mountain bases knowing they can safely descend.

Pro Tips

  • Build tall launching towers for maximum glide distance
  • Combine with Riptide tridents for powered launches
  • Use near ravines for quick escape routes
  • Glide between mountain peaks for efficient travel
