How to fix the "Flying Is Not Enabled" error

This error usually appears when the server thinks a player is flying without permission. Elytra, latency, or certain plugins can also trigger it.

Common fix

Enable allow-flight in server.properties:

allow-flight=true

Steps

  1. Open https://panel.nexuscloud.id/.
  2. Select your Java server.
  3. Go to Files.
  4. Open server.properties.
  5. Change allow-flight=false to allow-flight=true.
  6. Save the file.
  7. Restart the server.

Notes

  • Paper's documentation explains that allow-flight=true prevents automatic kicks for players flying in survival.
  • This setting can help players using elytra, but it also makes the server more tolerant of fly cheats.
  • If your server uses an anti-cheat, check the anti-cheat configuration as well.
