Wings

Wings are Hardmode Accessories that allow the player to fly temporarily by pressing and holding the jump key. Equipping Wings replaces jumps entirely with flight, rather than requiring a double-jump to activate. Wings also allow the player to glide down rather than fall, by continuing to hold the jump key after flight time has been exhausted. Glides can be sped up by holding the down key in addition. The player is immune to fall damage when Wings are equipped, whether or not the player has glided down, making the Lucky Horseshoe redundant.

Wings flight time vary by type. Of the 1.2 wing types: Bee, Butterfly and Fairy provide the least time; Harpy, Bone, and Bat slightly more and Frozen, Flame and Ghost more still making them superior to other variants.

Flight is much more controlled with Wings than with Rocket Boots or Spectre Boots alone, and allow for much greater flight range. Wings also work while under Water. They are always visible on your character, but fold into a low-profile image when not in midair.

Flight range
All other jump-boosting Accessories stack with Wings to increase flight range:


 * The Cloud in a Balloon has a unique effect on Wings: They make your first flight very short (roughly half a second), requiring a double-jump for any real flight time. However, once you have double-jumped, flight is significantly faster than usual, and a smoke effect is added (not illuminated), similar to using the Spectre Boots alone (the smoke effect does not appear if both the Cloud in a Balloon and the Spectre Boots are equipped). The double-jump also causes the usual Cloud effect.

Tips

 * An Ice Rod can be used to lay blocks of ice to land in mid air, allowing you to stay in the air almost indefinitely, provided you have enough mana.
 * Using Feather Fall Potion can also increase the duration of flight greatly, as the slow fall effect of the potion stacks with the wings, allowing very long glide.

Technical
The player is able to fly for exactly five seconds everytime when they press the spacebar and hold it. Gliding, however, has no limit. The player is able to fly 300 feet upwards in a continous run unless they are obstructed by a block. Torches, Wood Platforms are able to be bypassed in flight; platforms only through the bottom. Most non-solid blocks are able to be bypassed.
