# 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`:

```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.
