Elyta Momentum

What I want: Heya, with the End Update and the Elytra being released, I'm sure we've all had our fun flying around pretending to be a fighter jet, weaving between buildings and then falling short just before that epic manoeuvre. I'd love to see a plugin that essentially turns off your momentum while you're flying with an elytra, so instead of having to come to a stop because you run out of speed, you just keep moving! Like a real fighter jet!
Tl:dr, ake Elytra into a jetpack that will make you keep moving regardless of the angle you're heading.

Ideas for commands: /ElytraMomentum, /Elytra, /ElytraGlide, /ToggleGlide, /ToggleElytra

Ideas for permissions: player.toggleelytra

When I'd like it by: Whenever ^.^

 

This is a cool idea. Like better-looking flying. I will see how this could be done

 

Check out a plugin called "super elytra" I would link it but I'm lazy.

 

Done!

Please tell me if it's okay to upload this to dev.bukkit.org.

I made the permission elytramomentum.toggleglide.
Commands: all the ones you said, and /toggleelytra


UPDATE: added config with "update-delay". The lower this is, the less buggy it will seem (also, the more potential for lag there is). This is the amount of ticks between each "elytra gliding update". It must be atleast 1. It is by default 5. (1 is where it begins to look smooth). Note: unless there are multiple people at once using elytras, all with /toggleglide enabled, there should not really be any lag, no matter how low this number is.

Use this same link. I am still working on possibly customizing the messages.

 

Cheers man, I'll test it ASAP

What? AMAZING! Installing immediately

^w^

 

@MCMastery
This will prohibit some of the fun features of elytras, won't it? (I haven't tested it, I may be wrong!)
You set the velocity to the players direction, so it is fixed. The normal elytra can speed up and slow down.

I think there is a commandblock contraption for this, which works with spawning entities underneath the player, which push him up slightly. Then instantly killing them on the next tick.

May want to look into it?

 

Tried to test it, permission is elytramomentum.toggleglide, not elytramovement.

Other than that, works how I liked it to

Would it be possible to have a speed of movement option?

And you can absolutely upload it to the collective

 

I'll look at this (just came back from vacation)

 

Ah sorry, I made a typo in my post for the permission.

I added a speed variable in the config.yml. By default it is 1.

Now I am working on making it less jerky.

 

Just wanted to mention that this kind of plugin allready exists. With accelleration by pressing shift, fuel tank with display on screen, particles and neat stuff like that
