Overview

The Elytra Contrails Mod enhances the flight experience in Minecraft by adding accurate, physics-based trails that emit from the wingtips of an Elytra. Unlike simple particle effects, these trails are rendered as smooth splines that follow the player's exact flight path, creating a cinematic and realistic look. The mod is designed with performance in mind, utilizing a custom rendering system that supports translucency, glowing effects, and high-refresh-rate displays.

Key features include: * Fully Customizable Trails: Adjust color, width, length, and transparency. * Twirling Mechanics: Perform barrel rolls and spins that create beautiful helix patterns. * Server Synchronization: When installed on a server, players can see each other's custom trails and twirls. * Resource Pack Support: Define custom textures, presets, and trail spawners for any entity model.
