Shifting with Elytras

So when you shift in the air with an Elytra nothing really happens. I found a perfect way that shifting with Elytras in current flight would be both useful and interesting so let’s get into it!

 

Shifting with Elytras: When a player shifts when flying with an Elytra, they can move their head in any direction without messing the current flight path that they’re in. This would be very useful for shooting arrows, potions, and fireworks straight down at a target or just taking a nice little look at the land below. The possibilities that I find with this function would be endless for games, maps, and so much more.

    While although this could be useful, what about the ability to take flight without having to need something really high? What about the ability to take off from the ground?

    You would need to be an expert with Fireworks.

    Such shifting would be just like looking around when riding a boat. It makes perfect sense. I would use it A LOT when exploring the world.

    Dang, was just going to create this suggestion.
    One thing though, you should perhaps make your suggestion more clear. For example the title could say: "Hold shift with Elytra" or "Hold shift while flying to look around", but regardless I love this idea.
    Mojang should incorporate this idea immediately.
