So today I died 4 to 5 times while trying to fly with elyctra wings. Each time i was at 150 to 300 elevation then suddenly YOU DIED and my levep was around 62. I currently have render distance at max. I tried restarting the game but same thing. I suspect its either a glitch or my render distance setting. I was using rockets and was at full health when it happened. Any insight would be great i lost 2 sets of god gear as a result. I would like to try to avoid this i the future.

That's strange, it hasn't happened to me before

@SharpSerac don't die and maybe you won't die xd

Well i was full health, god gear and electra, at a height of 253. then suddenly Your dead screen level 62. obviously it lagged and killed me. so its either servers fault or my fault for render distance setting. I would merely like to know which it is so I can try to avoid it in the future.

I have a shulker full of elytra for sale just saying

Once I was on like 600 in height.
I went AFK to the bathroom.
I found myself dead and I looked like a pancake.

Moral of the story is: Don't go that high in height thinking you'll live xD
