How to Fly in Minecraft: Explore the Skies
Last updated
Ever wondered how you can soar through the skies in Minecraft? Let’s dive into how to achieve flight in one of the world’s most beloved sandbox games.
Whether you’re building towering skyscrapers or simply want to explore the world from above, knowing how to fly in Minecraft can greatly enhance your gameplay experience.
Easy Steps to Take Off
Flying in Minecraft is a breeze in Creative mode. First, double-tap the jump button (spacebar on PC/Mac, A on Xbox, X on PlayStation, B on Nintendo Switch) to lift off. Keep tapping it to ascend. To move around in the air, just use your regular movement keys or joystick directions. To descend, press the sneak or crouch button (shift on PC/Mac, the right stick on the consoles).
In Survival mode, flying works a bit differently. You’ll need an Elytra, which is a special cape that lets players glide. You can’t fly upwards like in Creative mode, but you can soar through the skies. Find an Elytra in an End Ship, strap it on, jump from a height, then press the jump button again mid-air to start gliding.
