Flight is possible within Minecraft’s Creative Mode already, but if you fancy exploring in Adventure Mode, until now you’ve been forced to keep your feet on the ground. That’s about to change, as Mojang is adding a cool magic cape that will let you soar through the sky like a voxel Superman.
Developer Jens Bergensten tweeted a few relevant bits of information about the new item, including the fact that it’s ”not craftable, only found”, and folds away when you land.
The flight model is also a lot more complex than the one found in Creative Mode, which is essentially a ‘noclip’ mode deisgned to allow you to inspect your creations. Check out the cape in action below. Pretty nifty, huh?
No word on when it will be added to the game just yet, but it’s on the way alongside a bunch of tweaks and changes in update 1.9, which you can read all about here.
