Rideable Flight Item Request
Bricius_The_First
This comes mostly to my lack to being able to write and make data packs at the moment with a dash of laziness thrown in for good measure. But I was looking for someone to design a 'vehicle' that can be made. Itll be for a flying 'machine' based on Leonardo DaVinci's design. https://www.leonardo-da-vinci.net/flying-machine/
I can list the creation points below for those interested.
-Textured Model with Wing Flap for animations (can just use simple stick, iron, and lather/bat wing/phantom wind textures for quick items)
-Invisible Rideable Horse with Invisible Armor Stand to hold the model (or new Horse Variant may be easier)
-Crafted in Two Parts; First you need Three Sticks and 6 Phantom Membranes/Leather (depending on used texture) to make "Flying Machine Wing". Then further craft with three wings, 1 Saddle, 1 Lever. Tope Row - Wind, Lever, Wing, Middle Center - Saddle, Bottom Center - Wing
-Once crafted gives you the item to set on ground. Can be picked up like an Armor Stand by Punching it.
-Recycled Mechanics for Flight: Runs at regular speed. If when sprinting you jump (using the Horse Jump Bar) and you get it in the common area (All but the last two bars), will only give you and the 'machine' slowfall for 10 seconds. If you get a critical jump (the last two bars of the horse jump bar) it will give 'flight', made with Levitation (for 15s) and Slow Fall until landed. A constant application of momentum through commands may be needed to keep appropriate speed for going forward with this as Slowfall and Levitation seem to kill momentum.
With the mechanics and creation requirements, I think this keeps it from being a broken form of flight and balanced pre-elytra. You have to build it with a total of 9 Sticks and 18 Phantom Membranes/Leather (membranes would be better imo), and a saddle, plus you cant use rockets to speed up or fly forever, and on top of this like a horse you cant just take off from anywhere, you need a bit of room and if you actually want to fly you have to work on that timing skill to get the critical jump, and the flight isnt permanent, instead requiring a degree of planning for both flight direction and landing, as Levitation and Slowfall gliding doesnt lend to very good turning in minecraft.
Plus at the end of this, seems like a fun little 'vehicle' that fits in with theme of middle age boats, minecarts, powered carts (with furnace or magic rails).
