To get the best possible glide ratio (and thus the furthest distance out of their altitude), the diver pilot should aim directly at the horizon. The lowest rate of altitude loss is about 1.5 m/sec, obtained by gliding at the altitude cap with a slight upward pitch (12В° or 15В°). The player aims to glide just above the target, then as they're right over it they immediately reverse directions, then they make readjustments as necessary. Making a hairpin turn can actually be used for making high-speed landings safe as well as for precise landings on small targets like rooftops. Quicker turns cause greater losses, while gentle movements have small effects. Sharp turns are a fast way to lose speed. To glide from cliff to cliff, a player's best bet is to aim slightly above the horizon. In the real world, drag increases with speed, and drag, in turn, slows the aircraft Minecraft mimics this. The diver can increase speed by choosing to descend faster, but afterward, they do not regain nearly as much altitude. If the diver drops to 0 speed, they quickly get accelerated back up to at least this minimum. In Creative mode or when the 'mayfly' ability has been given, the player can alternatively hold the jump key to fly up,вЂЊ or double press the jump key to move around freely.ДЇlight can be stopped by pressing the jump key.вЂЊ Speed and altitude Д®lytra have a minimum speed of about 7.2 m/s (obtained by gliding at the altitude cap with a strong upward pitch of 30В°). The player's speed is slow enough to allow them time to do other things during a long flight, like sort out their inventory.

The critical, damaging angle is about 50В° with the collision surface, and the calculation for damage seems to be as if the player had fallen from their maximum potential glide height to the height of the struck surface.ДЄ safe and simple cruise with the highest travel distance can be achieved by aiming directly at the horizon while at the glide's altitude limit. The player does not take fall damage from colliding at a shallow angle or a low enough speed. Additionally, speed is quickly lost from sharp changes in direction.Дirectly hitting any surface while gliding too fast causes damage proportional to flight speed (although this may be calculated from another factor). Another flight method is using the Riptide-enchanted trident. Firework rockets can be used to increase speed. Losing altitude increases speed, and gaining altitude decreases speed. The player can aim their view around to turn or adjust their pitch. To fly, the player must press the jump key while falling, and the elytra spread apart like a beetle's elytra. They maintain their in-world texture design even when they're broken or enchanted. They are gray in color by default, but they adopt the design of any cape the player is wearing. Elytra are equipped in the chestplate slot, either by placing the item directly in the slot, by pressing use item while held in hand, or by firing a point-blank dispenser at a target.
