Executing the 40/40 Gliding Technique

Lining Up Your Flight Pitch

The 40/40 flight technique lets you travel long distances efficiently by alternating between steep dives and climbs. This mod visualizes the required angles so you do not need the debug screen open.

1. Equip an elytra in your chestplate slot and launch into flight.

2. Look downward toward a -40° angle to initiate a dive. As your view nears the target pitch, a clean angle guide line will appear on your screen.

3. Hold your crosshair along the line to accelerate while descending.

4. Pitch upward toward +40° to begin climbing. A matching +40° angle line will appear as your view approaches the climb angle.

Following Motion Glyphs

The mod keeps your HUD uncluttered by only rendering guides when you are actively gliding and looking near target pitches. When switching between phases:

• Pull-up phase: Watch for on-screen motion glyphs that signal when to pull up from a dive to preserve your forward speed.
• Release phase: When climbing, look for release glyphs that indicate when to level out or dive again.

Using these indicators ensures you hit optimal glide slopes consistently without manual angle guesswork.
