Finding and Holding the Most Efficient Gliding Angle

Reading the Pitch and Gliding Indicators

When gliding with an elytra, keeping an optimal trajectory is crucial for preserving momentum and traveling long distances. Once airborne, the mod displays your current pitch directly on the HUD alongside an indicator marking the most efficient gliding angle. Watch the indicator while in flight to see whether your crosshair is pointing too high or too low for optimal gliding.

Snapping and Locking Your Pitch

Instead of making delicate manual adjustments with your mouse, you can use dedicated control shortcuts to stabilize your flight:

• Snap to the Optimal Angle: Press your configured snap keybinding while gliding. Your view immediately adjusts to the most efficient angle, eliminating guesswork.
• Engage Pitch Lock: Once you are aligned with the best angle (or any specific pitch you wish to maintain), press your pitch lock keybinding. Pitch lock prevents accidental mouse shifts from altering your flight angle, allowing you to glide smoothly over long distances without drifting off course.
• Disengaging: Press the pitch lock key again whenever you need to dive, pull up, or adjust course for landing.
