How to Fix Kicked for Flying

Fix Kicked for Flying by setting allow-flight=true in server.properties to prevent false-positive flight kicks.

Quick Fix

Set allow-flight=true in server.properties if you want to allow flying, or improve server performance to reduce false positives.

Error Message

Flying is not enabled on this server

How to Fix

1

Set allow-flight=true in server.properties (does not enable creative flight, just prevents kicks)

2

Improve server TPS to reduce position desync

3

Use anti-cheat plugins that have better flight detection

4

Check network stability

Common Causes

  • Server lag causing position desync
  • Client lag or high latency
  • Elytra or trident use triggering false positive
  • Riding entities that move quickly

Diagnostic Steps

  1. Open server.properties
  2. Set allow-flight=true
  3. Restart the server
  4. If using an anti-cheat, configure its flight detection sensitivity

FAQ

Does allow-flight=true let players fly in survival?

No. It just disables the kick for being in the air too long. Players cannot fly in survival without mods or creative mode.
