More Wings
Flight in Minecraft has always been one of the most satisfying ways to travel, and the Wings mod by pau101 gave players a whole new way to earn it through brewing and exploration. More Wings is a focused fork of that project, built to solve a very specific problem: making Wings play nicely with two of the most popular fantasy mods in the community. If you have ever wanted to soar over a dragon's lair or glide through the night as a creature of the dark, this add-on was made with you in mind.
What More Wings Actually Changes
At its core, More Wings is a compatibility and bug-fix fork. It does not reinvent the original mod; instead, it bridges the gap between Wings and two mandatory dependencies: Ice and Fire and Vampirism - Become a vampire! Both of those mods are required, so the add-on will not load without them. The most visible change is that Parrot Wings have been renamed and reworked into Amphithere Wings, tying the flight item directly into Ice and Fire's creature roster.
The fork also repairs two long-standing annoyances from the original: a broken lang file and a missing item entry. These are small fixes on paper, but they matter a great deal in a heavily modded world where every missing texture or untranslated string stands out.
Brewing Recipes and Modpack Balance
One of the main reasons this fork exists is brewing. The potion recipes in Wings are hardcoded, which means modpack authors cannot tweak them through configs or datapacks. For packs like MC Eternal 2, that rigidity was a real obstacle. More Wings changes those brewing recipes so they fit the progression curve of a larger pack, giving pack makers a working alternative instead of a workaround.
If you are putting together your own modpack, this is worth knowing: the license is MIT, and all monetization earnings and credit are attributed to pau101. Every piece of code and every asset still belongs to the original author, so using the fork in a public pack is both allowed and properly credited.
Supported Versions and Loaders
More Wings is distributed as a Forge mod, which is the loader most large kitchen-sink packs rely on. It targets the Minecraft 1.16.5 and 1.18.2 era of modding, the same versions where Ice and Fire and Vampirism are most stable. Before you download More Wings , double-check that your game version and your copies of both dependencies match the file you are grabbing. Mixing a 1.16.5 build with a 1.18.2 world will only lead to a crash log and a headache.
Dependencies You Cannot Skip
- Wings is replaced entirely, so you cannot run this add-on and the original Wings mod at the same time.
- Ice and Fire is mandatory and provides the Amphithere theme for the renamed wings.
- Vampirism - Become a vampire! is mandatory and unlocks the vampire-flavored flight options.
That last point trips people up constantly. If your game refuses to launch, the answer is almost always a missing dependency rather than a broken download.
How to Install More Wings
Installation follows the standard Forge routine, and anyone who has added mods before will feel at home.
- Install a matching Forge version for your Minecraft release.
- Place the More Wings jar file into your mods folder.
- Add Ice and Fire and Vampirism - Become a vampire! to the same folder.
- Remove the original Wings mod if it is still present.
- Launch the game once and confirm the wings appear in your creative tab or JEI list.
For players who would rather skip the manual file juggling, the foxygame.net launcher handles the whole process in a single click, pulling More Wings and its required dependencies into a ready-to-play profile without any folder digging. It is a convenient route for anyone who just wants to fly.
Once you are in game, brewing the flight potions is the real goal. Because the recipes were reworked, check JEI or your recipe viewer rather than relying on old guides written for the vanilla Wings mod. The ingredients will look different, and that is intentional.
Who Should Use This Add-On
More Wings is aimed at a fairly specific audience: players running Ice and Fire and Vampirism together who want flight that feels native to those mods. If you are building a dark fantasy pack with dragons, vampires, and aerial combat, the Amphithere Wings and the adjusted brewing tree slot in far more cleanly than the stock version. If you only want basic wings and have no interest in either dependency, the original mod remains the simpler choice.
The trade-off is clear. You gain compatibility, fixed lang entries, and flexible brewing, but you give up the freedom to run Wings alongside this fork. There is no middle ground there.
Final Thoughts
More Wings is a small, honest fork with a clear purpose. It fixes what was broken, renames what needed renaming, and opens the door for modpack authors who were blocked by hardcoded recipes. The MIT license keeps things clean, and pau101 keeps the credit. If your pack already includes Ice and Fire and Vampirism, download More Wings for Minecraft, drop it in your mods folder, and enjoy flight that finally fits the world you built.
