Wings

Wings are Hardmode Accessories that allow the player to fly temporarily by pressing and holding the jump key. They also provide immunity from fall damage, rendering the Lucky Horseshoe etc. unnecessary. There are currently 21 types of obtainable Wings, 1 of which can only be obtained in the console version. An additional 6 Wings are unobtainable. Flight time and speed vary by type.

Equipping Wings generally replaces jumps entirely with flight, rather than requiring a double-jump to activate. Flight is much more controlled with Wings than with Rocket Boots or Spectre Boots alone, and allow for much greater flight range. Flight time is reset when the player stands on blocks, or grabs a block with Grappling Hooks or the Climbing Claws.

Wings also allow the player to glide down rather than fall, by continuing to hold the jump key after flight time has been exhausted. Gliding fall speed can be accelerated by holding the down key in addition. The player is always immune to fall damage when Wings are equipped, whether or not the player has glided down.

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.
 * Similarly, holding an Umbrella will stack its slow fall effect with the wings.
 * Grappling a block or clinging to blocks with Climbing Claws will reset flight time without having to land.
 * By holding the UP key during flight while using the the Bundle of Balloons, Frog Leg, Fishron Wings, Frostspark Boots, Flying Carpet, and Featherfall Potion, the player can attain a total maximum of ~1400 blocks of flight distance.
 * Having any of the double jump accessories, allows you to jump and glide by just holding space.

Trivia

 * All of the wing types (except the Jetpack) make the same sound when flapping. The Hoverboard and Beetle Wings are silent.
 * The Fishron Wings have the greatest flight height of any legitimately obtainable wings, as well as being better than all the developer wings with the exception of Red's Wings.
 * You need 300 (320 on Console) Souls of Flight to obtain all craftable Wings, and  (  on Console) to buy the purchased Wings.
