Balanced Elytra Crafting
Balanced Elytra Crafting lets players build their own Elytra from a Left Wing and a Right Wing, with each wing made from Dragon Breath Feathers and Phantom Membranes instead of End City hunting alone.
What it does
Players craft a single wing first, using Dragon Breath Feathers as the core material, then combine a Left Wing and a Right Wing in a crafting table to produce a complete Elytra. The recipe for each wing takes Phantom Membranes, a rare drop, so the materials come from adventure and resource gathering rather than repeated trips to End City ships.
The mod suits survival worlds in which exploration and gathering resources carry weight. Because the Elytra is assembled from parts, it stays valuable on a server and gives players an alternative to searching End City for one. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 16 release versions, 1.17.1 – 26.2, and the code is licensed as All rights reserved.
Key features
Crafted wings
Left and Right Wing items are crafted separately, each from Dragon Breath Feathers and Phantom Membranes.
Elytra assembly
A complete Elytra is made by placing a Left Wing and a Right Wing together in a crafting table.
Rare material costs
The recipe uses rare obtainable materials, so crafting depends on adventure progress rather than endless grinding.
Alternative to End City hunting
Players who would otherwise search End City ships for an Elytra can build one from the wing recipes instead.
