Do a Barrel Roll for Minecraft

Review Do a Barrel Roll

Changing the Elytra Flight Mechanics

Sooner or later, any Minecraft player gets to the End, where they find the elytra and become capable of safely moving around the game world using it. They allow them to fly through the air and travel long distances, saving not only their time but also food, potions, and health. Still, the standard flight mechanics in Minecraft are too simplistic, and when you fly with the elytra, it is hard to get used to it after various simulators. One could reasonably say that Minecraft is a slightly different project whose gameplay is tied to moving on the ground, mines, and collecting resources. Even so, if there is a possibility of flight, you can try to change its mechanics!

An add-on called Do a Barrel Roll will help us with this task, as it allows you to dramatically change the elytra flight system, making it easier, more colorful, exciting, and convenient. You will be able to fully control the angle, flight roll, and many other nuances. That will not only allow you to fly more efficiently and smoothly but also affect the creation of content for YouTube and other social networks and services where you can share different screenshots and videos. You cannot even imagine how much the visual picture changes after the installation of Do a Barrel Roll, so if you often fly with the elytra, be sure to add this mod to your build!

But when choosing the Do a Barrel Roll mod as an alternative to the standard flight mechanics, you should be ready for altogether new gameplay. After trying it, we can tell you that you will have to get used to every action, turn, and movement through the air as if you had picked up the elytra for the first time. The mechanics will change beyond recognition and become very different from the standard one, although the control principle and keys themselves remain intact. It basically resembles flying in GTA V, when you use a helicopter or plane…

So it has become more difficult to control the elytra, but only at the beginning. After several flights, it becomes much easier, and you will appreciate how convenient and elaborate the flight system of the Do a Barrel Roll mod is. It is indeed cool. You can literally feel every action, tilt, roll, even after a slight moving your mouse. The latter becomes very sensitive, and you need to be extremely careful with it since you can simply crash into any object, biome, earth, or mountain. We recommend that you initially take off not so high so that it is less painful to fall. It is even better to train over aquatic biomes, where your character will stay alive in any case.

Thanks to the Do a Barrel Roll add-on, you will feel flight in Minecraft very subtly, regardless of the biome. And that is a really cool mechanic that allows you to take a completely different look at the elytra. Fireworks still serve as an auxiliary item to prolong flights, but the acceleration of the main character now works differently. Be sure to try the mod, and you will understand everything yourself. We have taken a lot of screenshots for you: even from them, you can guess how well the player feels each flight, how the camera moves and changes, what turning angles are available, and much more.

The Do a Barrel Roll mod is client-side, but you can also install it on a server to synchronize its visual features, say, the character's model roll. In this way, even if other players watch all your flights from below, they will notice a significant difference between the modified version and the vanilla one. So if you install the Do a Barrel Roll add-on on a server, it will only add fun and bring user attention. We recommend admins take a closer look at this mod and try it on their servers.

The main advantage of Do a Barrel Roll is the possibility of thoroughly configuring it after installing ModMenu and YACL. You will thus be able to get access to a full list of parameters right on the game screen, where you will be able to alter mouse behavior, set elytra activation restrictions, change modifiers, and adjust sensitivity, tilt, and much more. It is a very important customization tool that allows each user to adjust the parameters and sensitivity for their devices, and special thanks should be given to the developer of the Do a Barrel Roll mod, who added so many menu items and opportunities.

It is also should be borne in mind that the settings allow you to enable and disable the synchronization of the mod with a Minecraft server. Thus, you can allow flying with the new mechanics without displaying visual effects. However, you can also turn the latter on, and all the effects will be synchronized and visible to both you and other users. In general, the mod has proved to be a cool option that must be added to your build. In the future, you will be able to fly more smoothly and quickly, becoming a true ace in elytra flights, which is a very important experience for a Minecraft player. If you have some other add-ons that improve the standard in-game elytra, be sure to specify them in the comments for other users.
