FriedMentally's Elytra Slowfalling Disabler

Slow Falling Elytra Disable

This datapack changes how Slow Falling interacts with the Elytra. Instead of just applying the normal Slow Falling effect while gliding, this datapack disables your Elytra entirely when you have Slow Falling active — forcing you to choose between the two rather than stacking them together.

Why?

Slow Falling + Elytra can trivialize fall damage and make certain movement mechanics (like elytra-based PvP or parkour maps) too easy or unbalanced. This datapack removes that combo, giving a more vanilla-feeling risk/reward to flight and fall control.

Features

• Detects when a player has the Slow Falling effect
• Automatically disables Elytra gliding while the effect is active
• Lightweight, vanilla-compatible, no mods required — just a datapack
