Flying in Minecraft is a truly magical experience. Whether in creative or survival mode, zooming over the vast landscapes generated offers a new perspective. This article will show you how to achieve flight in Minecraft in both creative and survival mode!
How to fly in Minecraft
If you are in creative mode, you can double-tap your spacebar to fly in Minecraft. This will put you in flying mode, allowing you to zoom around the sky as you please. You can use the WASD keys and mouse like normal to control your player in the air. However, you can also go up and down by either pressing sneak to go down or the space bar to go up.
Because you will be traveling long distances, the chunks containing your destination will often be unloaded, meaning they won’t be visible until you are within render distance. For this reason, If you plan on flying between locations, we recommend using the waypoints Minecraft mod to avoid getting lost. This mod will allow you to set waypoints for destinations, which will be visible in your Minecraft world even if they are outside your render distance.
To get started using this Minecraft mod, download Badlion Client here. Badlion Client is an all-in-one Minecraft mod pack that includes numerous Minecraft survival mods, such as the waypoints mod. It allows you to start using the warpoints Minecraft mod in your world within minutes, all with a single download.
Once you have installed Badlion Client, check out our waypoints mod article here for a step-by-step guide on how to use the mod in survival or creative.
How to fly in Minecraft survival mode
You can use an elytra paired with a rocket to fly in Minecraft survival mode. This will allow you to authentically fly in your Minecraft survival world without using cheats or going into creative. To use an elytra, make sure to wear it like armor first. Next, you will want to jump into the air a couple of blocks and immediately hit space after jumping. This will activate the elytra, allowing you to glide gracefully. If you have fireworks in your hand, you can activate them by right-clicking, propelling you forward.
To achieve flight, you will first need to locate a Minecraft elytra, which is found in end ships located in end cities. This is no easy task, as it will require you to beat the game and search the expansive end highlands biome for the rare end cities. Finally, if you find an end city with an end ship, you must tower up many blocks and ward off the pesky shulkers to reach an elytra. Unfortunately, this is the only way to obtain an elytra in Minecraft. If you plan to go this route, we recommend watching this video, which goes into more detail on how to obtain an elytra quickly.
Finding an elytra is only the first step. To have an actual flying experience, you will want to craft many Minecraft fireworks. You can craft a firework using paper and 1-3 gunpowder.
While gunpowder can be obtained from creepers, you will likely want to start a gunpowder farm for easy supply. This can be difficult but extremely rewarding, so we recommend building this farm if you plan to use an elytra often. To start creating a gunpowder Minecraft farm, follow this tutorial:
