🪂 Balanced Gliders
A lightweight balance and mini-competition patch for IBelieveICanFly by Yggdrah.
Balanced Gliders adds a dynamic, server-authoritative glider cooldown to prevent glide spam while keeping gliding fluid and vanilla-friendly. It also introduces a server-persistent distance leaderboard to turn every highpoint into a friendly challenge.

- Cooldown scales with time spent gliding
- Prevents re-gliding while cooldown is active
- Real-time cooldown countdown via StatusEffect
- Fully server-authoritative and multiplayer safe
- Works in single-player and dedicated servers
- Does not alter glider physics or controls
- Dynamic cooldown with configurable scaling
- StatusEffect-based cooldown timer
- Glide-end distance pop-up
- Server-persistent distance leaderboard
- Press
Lto toggle leaderboard overlay - Console command:
bg_top
- Press
- Optional leaderboard announcements
- Debug logging options
LEADERBOARD
Balanced Gliders tracks glide stats server-side and persists them across restarts.
