Tired of falling from great heights in Minecraft? Want to explore the world without the worry of plummeting to your doom? If so, then it’s time to learn how to stop flying in Minecraft. Flying can be a great way to get around quickly and see the world from a different perspective, but it can also be dangerous if you’re not careful. That’s why it’s important to know how to stop flying when you need to.

There are a few different ways to stop flying in Minecraft. One way is to simply press the spacebar. This will cause your character to stop flying and start falling. However, if you’re flying at a high altitude, this can be dangerous. A better way to stop flying is to use the elytra. The elytra are a pair of wings that can be equipped to your character. When you’re wearing the elytra, you can press the spacebar to start flying. To stop flying, simply press the spacebar again.

If you’re not wearing the elytra, you can also use a potion of levitation to stop flying. Potions of levitation can be found in chests throughout the world, or you can craft them yourself using a brewing stand. When you drink a potion of levitation, you will start to float up into the air. To stop floating, simply drink a potion of water.

Disable Creative Mode Flight

Use the Keybind to Disable Flight

In Java Edition, press the **Spacebar** key to stop flying. In Bedrock Edition, press the **A** button by default. You can also customize the keybinds in the game settings if desired.

Disable Flying Using Commands

If you’re having trouble disabling flight with the keybind, you can use commands. In the chat window, type the following command and press **Enter**:

/gamemode s

This command will switch you from Creative mode to Survival mode, which will disable flying.

Toggle Flight Using the Creative Menu

In Java Edition, you can also toggle flight in the Creative menu. Press the **E** key to open the inventory and click the **Creative Mode** tab. There, you’ll find a button labeled **Flight**. Click the button to toggle flight on or off.

Remove Elytra and Fireworks

To stop flying in Minecraft when using Elytra, remove the Elytra from your character’s inventory. To do this, open your inventory and locate the Elytra slot. Right-click on the Elytra and select “Remove” from the context menu. Your character will then stop flying.

Fireworks can also be used to fly in Minecraft. To stop flying when using Fireworks, you must first stop using the Fireworks. To do this, simply stop pressing the key that you are using to launch the Fireworks. Your character will then begin to fall.

If you are high up in the air when you stop flying, you can take damage from the fall. To prevent this, you can use a Water Bucket to create a pool of water below you. You can then land in the water to safely break your fall. Alternatively, you can use a Feather Falling enchantment on your boots to reduce the amount of damage you take from falling.

Fireworks

Fireworks can be used in Minecraft to propel yourself into the air. To use Fireworks, simply hold a Firework in your hand and press the “Use” key. The Firework will then launch into the air, and you will begin to fly. You can control the direction of your flight by using the “W”, “A”, “S”, and “D” keys. To stop using Fireworks, simply stop pressing the “Use” key. You will then begin to fall.

The duration of your flight will depend on the power of the Fireworks you are using. More powerful Fireworks will propel you higher and for a longer period of time. You can find the power of a Firework by looking at its tooltip. The power of a Firework is measured in stars. The more stars a Firework has, the more powerful it is.

Here is a table summarizing the different types of Fireworks and their corresponding power levels:

Firework Type	Power
Small Firework Rocket	1 star
Medium Firework Rocket	2 stars
Large Firework Rocket	3 stars
Creeper Firework Rocket	4 stars

Use Gravity Blocks

Gravity blocks are blocks affected by gravity and fall downward until they hit a solid block or the ground. When an entity stands on top of a gravity block, the block falls downward, causing the entity to fall as well. This can be useful for stopping an entity from flying, as the entity will constantly be pulled downward.

There are two main types of gravity blocks: sand and gravel. Sand falls downward at a speed of 1 block per second, while gravel falls downward at a speed of 2 blocks per second. This means that gravel is more effective at stopping flight than sand, as it causes entities to fall more quickly.

To use gravity blocks to stop an entity from flying, simply place the blocks above the entity. The entity will be pulled downward, and will eventually fall to the ground. You can use gravity blocks to create traps or obstacles that prevent entities from flying, or you can use them to simply stop an entity from flying in a certain area.

Sand and Gravel

Sand and gravel are very slow falling blocks, as sand falls at 1 meter per second and gravel falls at 2 meters per second. If any of these blocks are placed above a player, they will fall and hit the player, creating a very slow descent. Note that entities other than players, such as mobs or falling blocks, do not cause these blocks to fall.

When covered with a thin layer of sand or gravel, the player will fall at the speed of that block. If a player is covered with 2 blocks of sand, they will fall at twice the normal speed of sand at 2 meters per second, and the same goes for any number of sand or gravel blocks.

Block	Fall Speed (m/s)	# of Blocks	Total Fall Speed (m/s)
Sand	1	1	1
Gravel	2	1	2
Sand	1	2	2
Gravel	2	2	4

Place Water or Lava

One of the easiest ways to stop flying in Minecraft is to place water or lava. Water will slow you down and eventually stop you from flying, while lava will inflict damage and knock you back. To place water or lava, simply equip the bucket of water or lava and right-click on the ground. You can also place water or lava in front of you while flying, but be careful not to fall into the liquid yourself.

Water

Water is the most common way to stop flying in Minecraft. It is easy to find and does not inflict any damage. Water can be placed on the ground or in front of you while flying. If you fall into water while flying, you will be slowed down and eventually stop flying.

Lava

Lava is a more dangerous way to stop flying in Minecraft, but it is also more effective. Lava will inflict damage and knock you back, so be careful when using it. Lava can be found in the Nether or by using a flint and steel on a block of cobblestone. Lava can be placed on the ground or in front of you while flying. If you fall into lava while flying, you will take damage and be knocked back.

Teleport with Ender Pearls

Ender pearls are a versatile and powerful item in Minecraft. They can be used to teleport the player a short distance, making them a great way to get around quickly or to escape from danger. To use an Ender pearl, simply throw it in the direction you want to go. The pearl will travel a short distance and then explode, teleporting the player to its location. Ender pearls can be used to teleport anywhere, even through walls and other obstacles. However, they cannot be used to teleport to the Nether or the End.

Ender pearls are a great way to get around in Minecraft, but they can also be used to create some interesting tricks.

5. Use Ender Pearls to Create a Teleportation Maze

Ender pearls can be used to create a teleportation maze, which is a fun and challenging way to test your skills. To create a teleportation maze, simply place Ender pearls in different locations around the map. The pearls will teleport the player to their location when they are thrown, so you can use them to create a maze that is difficult to navigate. You can also use Ender pearls to create secret passages and shortcuts, making the maze even more challenging.

Steps	Description
1.	Create a new world in Minecraft.
2.	Gather some Ender pearls. You can find Ender pearls by killing Endermen.
3.	Place the Ender pearls in different locations around the map.
4.	Test your maze by throwing Ender pearls and teleporting around.
5.	Make adjustments to the maze as needed to make it more challenging or fun.

Use Barriers or Invisible Blocks

Barriers are invisible blocks that prevent the player’s movement. They can be used to create boundaries or prevent the player from reaching certain areas. They are placed in the same way as regular blocks, but they are not visible. This means that you can place barriers anywhere without changing the appearance of your world.

Invisible Blocks work as a type of placeholder block that has a hitbox for the player. Those can be used to mimic the behavior of a barrier but will still take up space and can be destroyed by the player. If you need a barrier that the player cannot break, use a regular Barrier block. Otherwise, Invisible Blocks are a suitable alternative.

Using Barriers

To use barriers, you will need to open the chat window and type the following command: /give [username] barrier

Once you have the barrier, you can place it in the world by pressing the use button (usually the right mouse button). Barriers can be placed on any surface, but they will only be effective if they are placed correctly. The top of the barrier should be facing the direction you want to prevent the player from moving.

Using Invisible Blocks

To use invisible blocks, you will need to open the chat window and type the following command: /give [username] invisible_block

Once you have the invisible block, you can place it in the world by pressing the use button. Invisible blocks can be placed on any surface, but they will only be effective if they are placed correctly. The invisible block should be placed in the same location as the barrier would be.

Block Type	Command	Description
Barrier	/give [username] barrier	Prevents player movement. Invisible.
Invisible Block	/give [username] invisible_block	Invisible with a hitbox. Can be destroyed by the player.

Disable Command Blocks

Command blocks are powerful tools that can be used to automate tasks and create complex contraptions in Minecraft. However, they can also be used to disable the player’s ability to fly.

To disable command blocks, open the chat window and type the following command:

“`
/gamerule commandBlockOutput false
“`

This command will prevent command blocks from executing any commands, including those that disable flying.

Additional Notes

Command blocks can be re-enabled by typing the following command:

/gamerule commandBlockOutput true

Command blocks can also be disabled and enabled using the “Game Rules” menu in the pause screen.
Disabling command blocks will not affect existing contraptions that use command blocks. However, it will prevent new contraptions from being created.

Here is a table summarizing the effects of disabling command blocks:

Command Block Output	Effects
True	Command blocks can execute commands, including those that disable flying.
False	Command blocks cannot execute commands, including those that disable flying.

Server-Side Configuration

To disable flying on a Minecraft server, you must modify the server properties file. This file can be found in the server directory and is typically named “server.properties”.

Open the “server.properties” file in a text editor.
Find the line that says “allow-flight=true”.
Change the value of “allow-flight” to “false”.
Save the changes to the file.
Restart the server.

After restarting the server, flying will be disabled for all players.

You can also disable flying for specific players by adding them to the “ops.json” file. This file can be found in the server directory and contains a list of players who have operator privileges.

Open the “ops.json” file in a text editor.
Add the following line to the file:

“`
{ “name”: “player_name”, “level”: 0 }
“`

Save the changes to the file.
Restart the server.

After restarting the server, the specified player will not be able to fly.

Property	Default Value	Description
allow-flight	true	Determines whether flying is allowed on the server.
op-permission-level	4	The permission level required to grant flying privileges to players.
