Baubley Elytra
by jbredwards
Baubley Elytra lets players wear an elytra in the Baubles body slot on Forge 1.12.2, and it also fixes several Baubles bugs.
What it does
Baubley Elytra adds a configurable Baubles slot for elytra in the body position, so a player can keep the glider equipped without giving up the chestplate. The mod also patches a set of bugs in Baubles itself, including several issues with gravestone mods, item drops created by other mods, and item capabilities that could fall out of sync with the client when a bauble was equipped.
The author notes that newer Baubles forks already include these patches, and that Baubley Elytra can switch its own patches off through ConfigAnytime when they are not wanted, since they tend to cause issues in some setups. The Baubles inventory button can be reached through the creative inventory. Enchantments such as Mending, Curse Binding, Curse Vanishing and Soulbound, including modded ones, are said to work with items placed in bauble slots.
The mod is light-weight and needs Baubles installed on both the client and the server. ConfigAnytime is optional, but it lets settings be changed without a restart. Baubley Elytra is published for Forge 1.12.2 only, with the latest file 1.3.6 dated 2026-06-07, and the source code and issue tracker are public. The license is a custom license, so the mod is not open source.

How it compares
The Aether's Baubles is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, for Forge 1.12.2 and client and server, and it adds its own bauble items rather than patching Baubles. Construction Wand Legacy is also open source, under the MIT License, for Forge 1.12.2 and client and server, but it adds a building tool instead of a bauble slot. ElytraCrafting is server-side only, under All rights reserved, for Forge 1.12.2, so players join without installing it.
