Fly

I think vips or vip+ should have the ability to do like /fly or something. You could make it so they can only fly for like 30mins every week or so. It would be really good to see this as it will make it so much simple to do any builds/projects, such as guardian farms or redstone related builds.

I disagree. We already have /j and /back, plus, the VIP and VIP+ ranks are no longer available for purchase, so only we + the staff team would have access to it.
The point of having /fly for only 30 minutes makes it seem more like a trial period every week or so, except you can't buy the command for the rest of the week, and builds aren't worked on only 30 minutes every week. As I stated earlier, we already have /j and /back, which is more than enough for builds.

I agree with Adam. /j and the pocket watch are more then enough for builds and such.

Besides, being able to fly would take away some of the challenges of survival building, even the /j commands already contibute to this.

Lets say you're working on something like what you can't use /j to access. Consider if I or you needed to build under something it would be very hard to access due to the fact that you can't just /j up on it because it well tp you to the block above.
But thanks for the feedback.

Then rework something even if it means breaking it to place there again.

What about someone is in a situation what fly would be the only logical thing to fix the issue or reworking something out isn't possible. Like removing the dirt floor from the top of a guardian grinder after you put the water on it and the glass over. The only possible thing to do is fly up and remove the dirt, I don't see many other ways of doing this.

Build a tower of any block you can stand on so that you can reach the dirt block.

On guardian grinders you can't build on sign or gates if you're under the gate or sign

Then what I said in reply; place something where you want even if you have to break whatever's in the way, even if it will cause some minor problems.

This isn't likely to happen anytime soon really. You cannot currently purchase VIP and Mojang aren't keen on servers directly selling things which give you a gameplay advantage. We actually trialed a temporary fly a few years ago now and it just wasn't as nice as we thought it might be; lots of smaller things to consider such as what happens if the timer runs out while someone is mid-flight, etc. Plus you can already get a lot of the benefits using /jump anyway. On top of that in later versions of Minecraft (which we will be updating to eventually) you can get Elytra wings anyway which effectively allow for flight in Vanilla.

I can understand your reasoning but this isn't going to be implemented at the moment.

Get the watch dude, it's better than flying, you just zip around with a right click. quicker than /jump but it's the same thing really.

I've had /fly on other servers and the VIP watch is better by a considerable amount in my opinion, unless you're making a big floating build or something.
