About Cool Elytra Roll for Minecraft 1.21.4

The dynamic rolling animations make sharp turns, dives, and climbs feel more realistic and satisfying, whether you're navigating complex terrain, constructing aerial structures, or simply enjoying the freedom of flight. Unlike vanilla Minecraft's static camera, this mod creates a genuine sense of flight dynamics that enhances every aspect of elytra usage.
