Armored Elytras
by lukitasbito
Armored Elytras lets players merge an elytra with a chestplate into one item that both glides and protects, and split them apart again.
What it does
Players combine an elytra and a chestplate on an anvil to create a single armored elytra. Dropping the merged item on a grindstone separates the two pieces again. Enchantments carry over safely through both merging and separating, and a netherite armored elytra keeps its chestplate when burned in fire, while the elytra part burns off.
The mod is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.2 – 1.21.5, published under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, and the source code is public. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Snapshot builds are also published.

What the author says
