Craftable Elytra [Simple Additions Series]
by Carlogamer
Craftable Elytra lets players craft an elytra from a dragon scale, phantom membrane and other materials instead of finding one in the End.
What it does
The mod adds a recipe path to the elytra, the gliding wings from the End ships. Players who would otherwise wait for an end city loot chest can build one at a crafting table once they have the required materials. The recipe is built around three dragon scales and three phantom membranes, both items that come from defeating the Ender Dragon and from phantoms in the night.
Craftable Elytra requires Dragon Scale, so that library must be installed beside it. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, covering 1.19.2, 1.20.1, 1.21 and 1.21.1. The mod is client and server, so a server needs it as well as every player who joins. It is released under All rights reserved, and the code is not open source.
Key features
Craftable elytra
Elytra can be made at a crafting table, so gliding no longer depends on finding one in an end city.
Dragon scale recipe
The crafting recipe uses three dragon scales as one of its key components.
Phantom membrane recipe
Three phantom membranes are also needed, tying the craft to items that phantoms drop at night.
Dragon Scale dependency
The dragon scale and the recipe items come from the Dragon Scale library, which must be present on the same loader.

Use cases
Survival progression
Players who reach the End but miss an elytra in a city can build one from materials they already collected.
Multiplayer servers
Server owners who want a craftable glider can install the mod on the server and on every client.
Who it’s for: Survival players and server owners who want the elytra available through crafting rather than only from loot. The mod suits worlds where gliding is a goal but ending the run to get the item is not.
