Create: Balanced Flight (Angel Ring)

Description

Create: Balanced Flight seeks to balance the disparity between wanting early game flight for easy base building, and ruining fun exploration. It is designed as the last flight mod you'll ever need, and meant to be used as the only flight mod in a modpack --- no jetpacks, hang gliders, or other rings. 

Versions before the 1.19.2 rewrite do not require Create. Requires Curios API.

What's New?

The centerpiece of this mod is the Flight Anchor, a new rotationally-powered block that converts RPM into flight, similarly to a beacon. For each RPM you feed into the Flight Anchor, you will be able to fly one block around it, and as high as you want. However, the cost is steep---the Flight Anchor can easily consume thousands of stress units just to get it running.

Of course, once you get an Elytra, you can craft the Ascended Ring ("Angel Ring") and unlock limitless creative flight, provided you can craft it.

Better Elytra Mechanics 

This mod also overhauls some Elytra mechanics to lessen the end-game impact of getting an angel ring and getting bored of exploring.  While creative flight is nice for hovering, simply holding W to fly around pales in comparison to how much fun Elytra flight is. Each improvement is configurable.

• Like fall damage, Elytra damage is disabled.
• You can Elytra fly off from the ground now, making it easier to get across short distances quickly.
• As long as you're sprinting and holding W, you will have infinite free firework rockets, propelling you forward without costing a hotbar slot.
• Pressing Crouch + C will perform a "take off," which shoots you into the sky and begins flight.

Because of these improvements, the Ascended Ring is very expensive. Modpack makers are free to change the recipes and gate the Ascended Ring behind rarer modded items, or make it easier.

Project Credits: Initially forked from Angel Ring, though everything has been completely rewritten and retextured. Huge thanks to tterrag for the awesome Registrate library.
