Elytra Drag Mod gives you more control over your flight by adding air brakes to your elytra. Just press the sneak key while gliding to slow down in the sky. This makes it much easier to control your speed and land safely without taking a lot of damage.

Frequently asked questions

How do I slow down while flying with an elytra?
While gliding in mid-air, press and hold your Sneak key to activate the air brakes. Keep holding the key to maintain the drag effect until you reach a safe speed or stop.
Does the mod use a separate keybind for air brakes?
No, the air brakes are tied directly to your standard Sneak key. Whatever key you use to sneak on the ground is the same key you hold to brake while gliding.
How do I cancel a firework rocket boost if I am flying too fast?
Pressing the Sneak key to brake automatically cancels any active firework rocket boost. This lets you cut off excess thrust immediately if you are about to overshoot your landing or hit terrain.
How can I tell when the drag effect is actually active?
When you apply the brakes mid-flight, a small puff of smoke appears and your elytra switches to a custom braking wing animation.
