Fast Fly is a proposed Elytra enchantment designed to enhance the flight experience in a balanced way. While Elytra are one of Minecraft’s most loved late game items, their movement is very good; however, rockets take up a big chunk of inventory space. Fast Fly adds a new layer of progression by minimising rocket consumption.
What Fast Fly Does
Fast Fly improves two things at the same time:
- Glide Efficiency — you lose altitude more slowly and still gain distance
- Horizontal Speed — you naturally fly faster, even without rockets
Fast Fly I: +10% glide efficiency & +5% speed
Fast Fly II: +20% glide efficiency & +10% speed
Fast Fly III: +30% glide efficiency & +15% speed
This improves long distance travel, provides more control, and lets players explore the End, Nether, and Overworld without needing an overload of fireworks.
Why It’s Balanced
- Still requires rockets to gain height
- Does not grant infinite flight
- Uses an enchantment slot, so players must take longer to get the enchantment
- It could be a treasure enchantment, found in End Cities or Ancient Cities, giving players more reasons to explore the End late game
Why This Improves Minecraft
Fast Fly makes Elytra feel more rewarding as players progress. It offers smoother, faster, more enjoyable exploration while staying true to Minecraft’s survival balance.
