  Questionable reimplementation of existing engine functionality

  To start with here... I'm not really sure what the point of this mod is? The engine already provides options for infinite health ("Enable Damage" checkbox when selecting a world) and double-tapping jump to fly (Settings->General, "Double tap jump for fly"). Maybe there's some use for a per-player infinite health toggle, but this mod doesn't provide that.

  But even if there was some use for this functionality, on to the problems...

  • There's a physics override that gets set for no apparent reason, making you shoot off into space after using this mod to enable flying unless you had the normal fly toggle turned on already
  • Double-tapping jump to enable/disable flying is really quite inconvenient and prone to inadvertent activation anyway
  • The infinite health function doesn't actually prevent dying, any damage over 20 HP still kills you
  • Uses deprecated minetest namespace instead of core
  • Emits lots of useless log messages
  • Can't be removed cleanly after use as some players will have fly granted by this mod and some will not, so you'd have to go through all of the players and set their privs to the desired state
