How to Land Safely After Flying

Because the levitation granted by DarkFlight Mod is temporary, knowing how the descent mechanic works is essential for safe navigation in Survival Mode.

The Automatic Slow Falling Effect

When you initiate flight using /trigger flight while holding a diamond shovel in your off-hand, the mod manages your altitude and descent automatically:

1. As you rise into the air, the levitation status effect propels you upward.

2. Once the levitation timer ends, the mod automatically provides a slow falling status effect.

3. The swirl particles in your view and the status icon in your inventory confirm that slow falling is active.

Steering Downward

While under the slow falling effect, you will not drop suddenly to the ground:

1. Use standard movement keys (W, A, S, D) to steer your character horizontally as you drift downward.

2. Scout an open grassy area or clearing below to serve as your landing zone.

3. Allow gravity to pull you gently down. The slow falling status cushions your descent completely, ensuring a smooth touchdown without landing damage.

4. Once your feet touch solid terrain, you are ready to prepare for your next flight.
