FlyingAllowed

A flight management plugin that restricts flying to players' own claims or specific WorldGuard regions — ideal for non-pay-to-win servers.

Requires: BukkitOfUtils 1.19.2 or newer (works on Folia)

How It Works

Players can only fly inside:

• Accessible Claims — claims, islands, or faction land they own or belong to (some plugins also check the claim-extents set in config.yml)
• Flyable Regions — WorldGuard regions that have the flyingallowed-allow-flight flag set to allow

As players move, teleport, or use portals, flight is toggled automatically. When a player leaves an allowed area, flight is turned off and (by default) they're safely placed on the ground. Players in creative or spectator mode are left alone.

If several claim plugins are installed, any one of them allowing flight at a location wins.

Setup

Flying in Claims

1. Install FlyingAllowed and BukkitOfUtils.
2. Grant these permissions to the appropriate rank:
   • flyingallowed.in.claims — allows flight in Accessible Claims
   • flyingallowed.in.lands — required instead for Lands, KingdomsX, ProtectionStones, and SuperiorSkyblock2 (also accepted by every other claim plugin)
   • flyingallowed.command.fly — allows the /fly command
   • (Optional) flyingallowed.lands.toggle-on — auto-enables flight when entering a claim

Flying in WorldGuard Regions

1. Install FlyingAllowed and BukkitOfUtils.
2. Set the flag on the region: /rg flag <region> flyingallowed-allow-flight allow. A region with the flag set to deny blocks flight even if an overlapping region allows it.
3. Grant these permissions to the appropriate rank:
   • flyingallowed.in.regions — allows flight in Flyable Regions
   • flyingallowed.command.fly — allows the /fly command
   • (Optional) flyingallowed.lands.toggle-on — auto-enables flight when entering a Flyable Region

Flight Teleporting

When flight is turned off mid-air, the player is moved down to the ground so they don't take fall damage. Set toggle.off.auto.teleport.enabled to false to just turn flight off and let the player fall. The teleport is also skipped while gliding with an elytra or when the ground is within 1.5 blocks.

world-config.yml

Key	Default	Description
disabled-worlds	[some_disabled_world]	The world list (also editable with /dfw)
is-whitelist	false	false = blacklist mode, true = whitelist mode
is-full-disable	false	In worlds the plugin skips, force flight off (and place the player on the ground) instead of ignoring them

World Filtering

The plugin supports world-based whitelist/blacklist:

• Blacklist mode — the plugin is disabled in listed worlds
• Whitelist mode — the plugin is enabled only in listed worlds

Update Checker

FlyingAllowed reports its Modrinth project to BukkitOfUtils, so you can check for new versions with /boup info FlyingAllowed or from the /boup menu plugin screen.
