Drenched Wings

Fabric mod that blocks elytra use in liquids, applies environmental penalties, and enforces cooldowns. Fully configurable through server gamerules.

Core Mechanics

Environmental Nerfs

• 20-second cooldown for elytra in rain, water, or lava.
• Firework boosts disabled during rain.

Splash-Water Cooldown

• Hitting a player with a splash water bottle disables elytra for up to 20-seconds, scaled by proximity.

Server-Side Control

• All effects configurable via server game rules.
• Fully vanilla-compliant using Minecraft’s ItemCooldowns system.

This mod implements his proposed liquid-based Elytra limitations as a configurable, server-side Fabric mod.
