Flying?

I've been working on new buildings and such, but every time I build something new, I manage to fall off of it at least 10 times. I was wondering if I'd be able to temporarily be given flying to build a few things. I'd like to try and build a larger house and add the missing bow to my skeleton. Is there any way I could get this? Thanks! :)

I understand thats it is hard to build stuff without falling off but the staff cant give you fly. When I built my "Adv-Project" I fell off more than 50 times and even died because the building was a tower over 70 blocks high, I still did not get or wanted fly abilities.

Well there are a few things in place so you don't have worries. One of them is MCMMO's "Acrobatics" skill. Whenever you fall, hold shift before you hit the ground. You have a chance for a "Graceful Roll", which negates a lot of damage. A higher Acrobatics level increases your chances of this. If you want, you can use someone's acrobatics tower or ask someone to build you one so you can easily level up. If you're simply so high a graceful roll won't help, you can surround the building in 3 blocks of water, as that will negate all fall damage.
Another thing that makes life easier is the [Lift] signs. Those can be placed as two or more points for instant vertical teleportation. These tools will make your life easier. If you have any further questions on the matter myself or another VIP or Staff can help you.

We don't hand out special abilities, you gotta earn them through pure, hard censored gorey work. That includes your knees inverting and your eyes popping out.
Have a nice day

-Staff CAN fly for Griefing assistance/other purposes, very VERY good AdvBuilders sometimes get fly (Dalton (Never seen one o' his builds) and Zera (Our best builder)

THat is a poor example as I had fly for that a better example would be my Skyhold that is now above Countypo's House. That I built without fly. I died quiet a few times on it as well but it was worth it.

I wasn't as active when Dalton got adv so I never saw his creation, and you do have fly now due to being staff...
