Experienced Minecraft players know that there are several ways to fly in every mode. But unless you know the exact steps, flying might seem too complicated. If you want to know how to enable flying in Minecraft, we’ve got you covered.

In this article, we’ll show you how to fly in several modes and even explain how to fly in Survival mode.

How to Enable Flying in Minecraft on Mac, Windows, and Chromebook

Every new player is eager to learn how to fly in Minecraft, and that’s why it’s crucial to know how to enable it in every mode.

For example, in the Creative mode, you can begin to fly as soon as you start building your world. If your Minecraft world is already in Creative mode, all you need to do is double-tap the space key to levitate and do another double tap to come down.

On the other hand, if you’re in Survival mode, the only way to fly without cheat codes is to use Elytra wings with a fireworks rocket. If you want the best of both worlds, you’ll have to enable cheats.

Using cheat modes allows you to fly as if you’re in the Creative mode on various devices. Here’s how it’s done:

1. Open the Game menu by taping on the Esc button.
   
2. Click Open to LAN.
   
3. Make sure it says Allow Cheats: On, set it if it doesn’t.
   
4. Select Start LAN World.
   
5. Start using cheat codes.

When you allow cheats, you can use codes to change your world’s mode. When you start using the console box, a simple line like “/gamemode c” enables you to do it. Of course, there’s an abundance of codes you can use to stay alive forever, destroy enemies, and make sure never to lose your inventory.

How to Enable Flying in Minecraft on Android and iPhone

Using Minecraft PE on your Android or iPhone gives you limited options when it comes to flying. You should either find Elytra or use a cheat code. If you want to save yourself from the trouble of going to End City, you can fly with the help of cheats.

The same process applies when you want to experience flying in Survival mode on several devices. Once you allow cheats, the whole Minecraft world can change its fundamental rules. You’ll notice that the hunger and experience meter are no longer visible, and that’s how you’ll know that you’re now in the Creative mode.

How to Enable Flying in Minecraft Survival Mode on PS4 and Xbox One

Minecraft allows you to fly in Survival mode, but only if you change the game mode to Creative. Once you decide to enable the cheats, a new LAN world will become active. In that one, the codes will enable flying, teleportation, and generating any kind of block, only to begin with.

It’s important to mention that cheats are only available in versions of the game that received the Better Together update. Since PS4 is still not among them, you can use cheats on Xbox One and platforms like Windows 10 and Switch.

Now that your mode allows you to fly, here’s how you can start flying using Xbox One controls:

1. Press the A button twice quickly to start flying.
2. Use D-pad and hold the A button to navigate your flight.
3. Use up and down arrows to fly higher or lower.
4. Press the A button twice quickly to land.

How to Enable Flying in Minecraft with a Command

Before you continue with your game, you’ll have to ensure that cheats are turned on. Here’s how:

1. Open the main menu and select Settings.
2. On the right side, scroll down until you get to the Cheats.
3. Turn the cheats on and exit.

When you change your Minecraft world mode, you can use a cheat code to fly. If you jump twice or use F12, it will make you jump higher and start flying. Using jump and sneak buttons, you can control whether you’re flying high or low, and when you’re close to your destination, you can safely land.

Keep in mind that while you have the cheats on, players connected to your world won’t be able to get any achievements for any accomplishment in Minecraft. Of course, they could use codes and enhance their gaming abilities, but achievement remains disabled until the end.

How to Enable Flying in Minecraft Single Player Commands

In Bedrock and Education Edition of Minecraft, you’ll have to use a different syntax to enable flying. Mayfly is a command suitable for checking the player’s ability to fly.

• To set player’s ability to fly, you should type “/ability .”

The best way to run a command in Minecraft is to use it through the chat window. For most Minecraft versions, all you need to do is press T to open the window and type any command. If you want to enable a player to fly using the mayfly command, follow these steps:

1. Press T and open the chatbox.
   
2. Type “/ability @player mayfly true.”
   
3. Click Enter to run the command.
   
4. The command is activated when you see it in the lower-left corner. When you see Ability has been updated in the left corner, that means that now you’re enabled to fly.
