Flight Modes

Timed Flight

Players with blzdfly.timed may use flight while they have remaining flight time.

Flight time decreases only while actively flying.

Claim Flight

Players with blzdfly.claim may fly inside claims they own.

When leaving a claim:

1. A configurable grace period begins.
2. Returning to the claim restores Claim Flight.
3. If Timed Flight is available, flight automatically switches to Timed Flight.
4. Otherwise the player is safely landed.

Permanent Flight

Players with blzdfly.permanent have unlimited flight access.
