How to Customize Braking Speed and Activation Threshold

If the default air brakes stop you too abruptly or feel too gentle for your flight style, you can tune how the drag mechanic responds by editing the mod's configuration file.

Locating the Configuration File

1. Confirm the mod is loaded by checking that Elytra Drag is listed in the Minecraft Mods menu.

2. Close the game (or open your game directory from your launcher) and open the config folder inside your Minecraft directory.

3. Find the configuration file for Elytra Drag Mod and open it in a plain text editor.

Tuning Drag and Minimum Speed

Inside the config file, look for two flight-control settings:

• Drag Coefficient: Controls how quickly you slow down while holding the Sneak key. Increase this setting for stronger, faster braking, or lower it for a smoother, more gradual slowdown.
• Minimum Speed: Determines the minimum flight speed needed to activate the drag feature. Lowering this lets you engage the brakes even during slow glides, while raising it ensures braking only activates when flying fast.

Save your edits to the configuration file and restart Minecraft to test your updated braking feel in the sky.
