Hexxit 1 vs Hexxit 2

Back in the day, Hexxit 1 was a very popular modpack when it first came out. Not as widely played as Tekkit, perhaps, but everyone knew about it. Hexxit one came out back in 2015, but it never received any serious update after that for years to come. Over time as new mods and versions came out, it lost its popularity and became irrelevant.

With that said, Hexxit 2 replaced Hexxit 1 on October 23rd, 2021. The much-anticipated update got rid of some irrelevant mods and introduced new, totally game-changing ones.

Can you fly in Hexxit 2?

Yes, you can fly in Hexxit 2 if you enable cheats or play in creative mode. But it's also possible in survival or hardcore modes. One item you could use for that is the enchanted electric staff. Once you put it in use, it propels you forward while bouncing you off the ground a little bit.

If you look up and use the electric staff over and over, you'll keep jumping higher and higher. That way, you can fly around the map at a very high speed. The best part? You don't get fall damage if you end up on the ground.
