Andy´s Armored Elytras
by Andy_71
Andy´s Armored Elytras adds armored elytra variants made from leather, chainmail, iron, gold, diamond, netherite and copper, all combinable through a datapack addon.
What it does
Each elytra tier is a separate glide item that players can craft or obtain, and the set covers seven materials from leather up to netherite. The copper variant only works on game version 1.21.9 and later, and the Armored Elytra+ datapack addon is needed to combine the elytras with the rest of the set. Andy´s Armored Elytras RP is required as a resource pack dependency, so the textures for the new items load correctly.
The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with a data pack variant for server platforms. Files cover 12 release versions, 1.21 – 1.21.11, and the latest release-1.0 file for 1.21.11 was published on 2026-08-26. A server must run the mod, while players may add it for the matching textures, so either side can skip it only in the sense that clients are optional. The code is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
