Players often encounter the frustrating "Flying is not enabled on this server" kick message, especially when using elytra or other flight mechanics. Fortunately, resolving this issue is straightforward through your server's configuration settings.
Follow these steps to enable flight on your Minecraft server.
Allowing Flight
- Log into your GhostCap panel and stop your Minecraft server
- Navigate to the Files section
- Open the
server.propertiesfile and locateallow-flight= - Change the value to
trueand save the file - Start your server to apply the new setting
What This Fixes
Enabling flight prevents automatic kicks when players use legitimate flight methods like elytra, creative mode flying, or certain enchantments and items. This setting is essential for servers that want to support normal Minecraft flight mechanics without triggering the anti-cheat system.
With flight enabled, players can enjoy the full range of Minecraft's movement options without unexpected disconnections.
