I think i found a way for balanced flying. Wait minecrafttime50, wouldn't flying at all be to op?
No it won't be. well, not the way i'm gonna make it.
MAIN IDEA
There is no way so far to fly in survival, and most ideas i've seen here are very op or stupid.
But i may belive i've found a balanced way to fly without making it to OP
FEATHERS?
yes, feathers. here is mainly what i think.
There is no REAL use for feathers except for making arrows. But with this idea, its gonna give it a great meaning.
HOW TO MAKE IT
= Angel wings
COSMETIC WINGS[thanks to badprenup]
These are for cosmetic purpose only and all have same properties
= angel wings
= end stone
= End wings:End wings are wings with end stone texture and when flying,purple particles go out
= Golden wings: Golden color wings and when flying, yellow sparkles come out.
= glowing wings: these wings are special. They produce a light level of 15 around them
in a 15 block radius.
= dark wings: these wings are pitch black, think of a dark angel. they produce black
particles when flying.
Phoenix Wings: Surround a set of Angel Wings with 8 Blaze Powders. The result will have orange and yellow feathers and trail fire particles when flying.
HOW TO USE IT
You Equip it to your chestplate slot in your inventory.
No, you cannot wear a chestplate and wings at the same time.
Once you equip it, double click jump to fly.
Also with it equiped, if you just jump, you will glide instead of flying. BALANCED?
Every 4.5 seconds you will lose 1 hunger bar. when you have 0 hunger you will fall back down.
NO, you can't eat while flying.
When you fall from a long height[at least 5 blocks high], you will take 3.5 hearts of damage each time you fall,everytime.
The wings have durabillity. the durabillity is 250. the durabilliy goes away like this: 5 durabillity every second you fly, and 1 durabillity every 5 seconds for gliding.
Once durabillity is used up the wings break.
CONCLUSION
So here's my idea. I am open to constructive critism and regular critism
I Hope my idea is worth even taking into account.

1 hunger point a second seems a bit quick, especially considering you can't eat and it breaks when you fall from hunger... but i suppose it will encourage people to use it sparingly
So you would get a maximum of 20 seconds per flight, at the cost of all your Hunger? It's not a bad idea, although I would rather it not affect Hunger that much.
I would rather it allow you to glide for 20 seconds, slowing your decent to the speed that a chicken falls. You can also fly for 5 seconds at a time by double jumping. Flying would cost 1 Hunger per second as in the original idea, and gliding takes 1 Hunger every 4 seconds, so no matter what you only lose a maximum of 5 Hunger per jump.
I do think you should take normal fall damage if you run out of gliding or flight ability from high up. It balances it and makes people more cautious.
I don't know how balanced it would be, but those are just my opinions. Very rarely would I need to fly except over certain gaps, normally gliding would suffice. I would also give it durability instead of just breaking after you run out of Hunger, something like 100 Durability, with it losing 1 durability each second you glide, and 5 for each second you fly. That gives you 5 full gliding trips or 4 full flying trips.

I like this, it's not as stupidly broken as some other flying ideas out there since it has a drawback to make it so that you don't always fly and you have to walk sometimes. But I do have 1 problem, the durability is 2 low (Considering it is crafted with diamonds), could you decrease the durability drop rate or increase its durability. But other than that, Support

Can it be enchanted in any way? Maybe an enchantment making it take hunger away slightly slower (maybe 1 hunger every 1.5 seconds). And another question, can you attack with a sword or bow well using it? Anyways I've always thought wings would be nice in Minecraft so I support.

Thanks for support. But lets not get to far ahead of ourselves. I mean, i need time to think of enchantments that are balanced with the idea. If you have any suggestions that would be great
I dont think the wings should break, There made with 3-diamonds it would be a waste in my opinion for it to break, i dont think you should take fall damage either.. Chickens dont, Maybe have a limit to how high you can fly though to keep it balanced?

I think if they were to add in some kind of legitimate air travel option, it should really only be a glider of some kind with a limited flight distance. Then maybe they could take a page out of Assassin's Creed's playbook and have the gliders gain altitude when they fly over heat sources like fires or lava. That way you could extend glide distance over pre-determined paths, or you could just use the glider for a limited distance anywhere.

I support wings!
I suggest the way you go about wings should be different. For one: wings should be more difficult to craft and cost a lot more materials.
e.g. Nether star, a stack of feathers or blocks of diamond & gold
They shouldn't use durability at all & hunger should reduce like you were running, more if you were flying upwards. I don't like the idea that if you ran out of hunger you lost 5 hearts falling. That is a death wish, especially if it was night time and you fell off multiple cliffs. Therefore you can constantly glide with wings on.
However I do agree that wings should have a durability for damage taken by mobs (armor) & can only have a max time you can fly so its more of a travel accessory rather than a battle one.
No it won't be. well, not the way i'm gonna make it.
