Why PremiumFly

Most "fly" plugins just flip allowFlight on. PremiumFly is built to feel like an intentional game mechanic — a double jump — rather than a slash command toggle, so donors and VIPs get something that actually feels premium.

• Built specifically for Paper 1.21, using the modern Adventure/MiniMessage text API — no legacy &-code messages.
• Grants can come from a permission node (great for LuckPerms rank groups) or a simple admin command — your choice.
• Player data is stored safely using Bukkit's Persistent Data Container, not scoreboard tags, so it won't collide with scoreboard plugins.

Features

• 🕹️ Double-jump flight — jump once normally, jump again mid-air to take off, exactly like Creative mode.
• 🔑 Two ways to grant access
  • /pfly <player> enable for one-off, manual grants.
  • The premiumfly.fly permission node for automatic grants through LuckPerms or any permission plugin.
• 🌐 Fully localized — built-in Japanese and English message packs, both fully editable in config.yml using MiniMessage formatting (hex colors, gradients, hover text, and more).
• 🔊 Sound & particle feedback on take-off and landing, so flight feels like an ability, not a toggle — fully configurable, can be disabled.
• 🌍 Per-world control — disable PremiumFly in specific worlds (minigames, parkour maps, etc.) via disabled-worlds in the config.
• 🧭 Admin quality-of-life — tab completion, /pfly list to see who currently has flight, /pfly info for version/update status, and /pfly reload to reload without a restart.
• 🔄 Built-in update checker — get notified in-game (and in console) when a new version is published on Modrinth.
• 📊 Optional bStats metrics — see real anonymous usage stats for your own copy of the plugin.
• 🛡️ Safe by design
  • Automatically revokes flight the moment permission is removed or the target world changes.
  • Never touches Creative or Spectator mode flight, so staff and admins are unaffected.
  • Cleans up its own state on /reload and plugin disable so nobody gets stuck flying (or gets kicked for "flying").

How It Feels To Play

1. Jump once → a completely normal jump.
2. While still airborne, jump again → flight engages, with a sound and particle burst.
3. Fly around freely, just like Creative mode.
4. Land, or double-tap again → flight ends.
5. Jump twice again whenever you want to take off once more.

Requirements

• Paper 1.21 or later (built and tested against 1.21.11). Spigot is not supported — PremiumFly relies on Paper-only APIs for performance and reliability.
• Java 21 or later.

Installation

1. Download the latest PremiumFly-<version>.jar from Modrinth or GitHub Releases.
2. Drop it into your server's plugins/ folder.
3. Start or restart the server.
4. Edit plugins/PremiumFly/config.yml to taste, then run /pfly reload.

Integrating With Other Plugins

Flight grants are stored in a PersistentDataContainer under the key premiumfly:granted, so other plugins can safely read it without touching scoreboards. If you already manage ranks with LuckPerms (or any permission plugin), simply give the desired group the premiumfly.fly permission — no command required.

FAQ

Does this work in Spigot, or only Paper? Paper only. PremiumFly uses Paper's PlayerJumpEvent for reliable, low-overhead jump detection — this event does not exist on vanilla Spigot.

Will this conflict with Essentials /fly or other flight plugins? No — PremiumFly only manages flight for players it has granted, and safely restores their state if the plugin is disabled or reloaded.

Can I use this without commands, purely through LuckPerms? Yes — grant the premiumfly.fly permission to a group and every member instantly gets double-jump flight.

Upgrading from an older PremiumFly version? Existing grants are migrated automatically the next time each player joins — no action needed.
