Buffed Elytra
by BaGaJa
Buffed Elytra changes how the Elytra wears down, so flight with fireworks no longer costs durability the way gliding does.
What it does
Under the mod, the Elytra loses durability only when a rocket is used for boosting, and gliding or flying without rockets no longer wears the item. Damage applies only to firework rockets, and firework rockets are slightly slower than in vanilla, which changes how fast a flight can be sustained with boosts.
The mod is a Fabric mod for 1.20.6 only. It needs Fabric API, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. The mod is published under All rights reserved, and it is not open source, although the source code and issue tracker are public. The latest Fabric file is 2.0.0, released on 2024-10-26, after the first release on 2024-10-25.
Key features
Durability only from rockets
The Elytra loses durability only when a rocket is used, so gliding without boosts leaves the item intact.
Firework damage only
Damage applies only to firework rockets, not to the Elytra's ordinary gliding and flying.
Slower firework rockets
Firework rockets fly a little slower than in vanilla, changing how boosts feel during flight.

Use cases
Long glides on a server
Server owners who want players to glide across large maps without repairing the Elytra often can use the mod, since gliding no longer wears it down.
Who it’s for: Players who use the Elytra often, and server owners who want less durability loss from long flights. The mod suits Fabric 1.20.6 setups that already run Fabric API.
How it compares
Experimental Elytra Nerf is open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, runs on Fabric for 1.20.1 – 1.20.4, and is client and server. Elytra Nerf is also CC0 1.0 Universal, but it is server-side only and covers 1.19 – 1.20.4. Firework Durability is server required with an optional client, is MIT-0 licensed, and targets 1.21.1 – 1.21.10, so it does not cover 1.20.6.
