Kites are miscellaneous novelty items that can be held by the player.
A kite can be flown during Windy Days or if the player runs fast enough while holding it. It can be raised higher with ⚒ Use / Attack and lowered with ⚷ Open / Activate. Lowering a kite back to the player will make them put it away.
There are 24 different kites, either dropped by certain enemies on Windy Days or purchased from NPCs.

Notes
- Kites can pass through solid blocks.
- Kites can be used on non-Windy Days if the user maintains enough speed, but are more difficult to keep afloat.
- Kites can be used while riding a mount, or while flying. However, the player will appear backwards while the kite is in use.
- The Pigron Kite will be a random color based on the biomes in the world.
- Kites can be used in reversed gravity, but will retain their normal orientation.

Trivia
- The three Hardmode jellyfish (Green Jellyfish, Blood Jelly, and Fungo Fish) do not have kite variants, unlike the pre-Hardmode Blue and Pink Jellyfish.
