ElytraTweaks

[1.0.5]

Changed

• The elytra no longer deploys from the vanilla jump/spacebar key. It now deploys only from the mod's dedicated deploy key (default: Left Alt). This prevents accidental deploys and fixes conflicts with movement mods that use the jump key, such as ParCool.

Fixed

• Stopping flight mid-air now takes a single press of the deploy key. Previously it could require two presses because the client and server fall-flying state drifted out of phase — deploy now syncs both sides via the fall-flying packet, so a single stop press always works.

How the spacebar block works

• Two layers, for modpack robustness:
  1. Proactive: the client-side tryToStartFallFlying is cancelled for any attempt that the mod's own deploy key did not initiate.
  2. Reactive safety net: if the player ends up gliding without having asked to (via an unusual deploy path from another mod), the wings are folded client-side (no stop packet, so it never traps you in the crawling hitbox).

Known limitation

• In very large modpacks, a mod may open the elytra through a path the proactive layer can't see (e.g. a server-side deploy synced back to the client). The reactive net still stops it, but because it acts a tick later you may see a brief one-frame "flicker" of the wings. Flight is never actually sustained.
