Enable Flight on Your Minecraft Server

How to allow flight on your Minecraft server and prevent players from being kicked for flying.

By default, the server kicks players detected as flying (without creative mode). Enable it in server.properties:

allow-flight=true

When to Enable

  • If you use mods that add flying (Elytra boosters, jetpacks, flying mounts)
  • If players get "kicked for flying" while using lag-related movement glitches
  • If you run a creative or build server

When to Keep Disabled

  • Vanilla survival servers where flight = cheating
  • PvP servers where flying gives unfair advantage

📝 Note: This does NOT give players creative-mode flight. It only prevents the anti-cheat from kicking players who are detected as airborne.
