#### Main Features

* **Spawn Area Control**: Define custom areas where the feature is active (circular or rectangular)
* **Per-World Configuration**: Configure different settings for each world

**Activation Modes**

* **Double Jump**: Double-press space bar to activate
* **Auto**: Automatically activates when player has air below and is in spawn area
* **Sneak Jump**: Sneak while jumping to activate
* **F-Key**: Press F (swap hands) to activate with an upward launch boost

**Boost System**

* Press F key while gliding to boost yourself
* Configurable boost strength and direction (forward or upward)
* Customizable sound effects
* Optional "press to boost" messages

**Additional Features**

* **Hunger Consumption**: Optional hunger cost for using elytra (activation, distance, or time-based)
* **Firework Control**: Option to disable fireworks while using spawn elytra
* **Game Mode Handling**: Automatic disable in creative mode (prevents buggy flying)
