Better Elytra Render
by KGriffon
Better Elytra Render changes how the elytra wings look on a player's back, so they sit closer to the body and stop reading as floating panels.
What it does
The mod targets the visual model of the elytra in three ways: the two wing parts sit slightly further apart, the wings are placed nearer the body, and they are raised like a cape so arms do not clip through the texture. The change is most visible with cape textures such as the Jack Black cape. Only the client needs the mod; the server and other players do not. Files exist for Fabric only, with Fabric API required, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Wings set closer to the body
The elytra sits nearer the player's back instead of appearing to float behind them.
Cape-style wing spacing
The two wing parts are spaced slightly further apart, so a cape texture on the elytra reads more clearly.
Raised wings
The wings are lifted like a cape, which keeps the arms from clipping through the texture.

What the author says
This mod aims to improve the look of elytra in three different ways. The two parts of the elytra are now slightly further apart, making elytra with cape texture look better (especially with the "Jack Black" capes).
