Craftable Elytra
by hydrazone
Craftable Elytra adds a crafting recipe for the elytra, so players can make the glider instead of finding one in an End city.
What it does
The mod restores an elytra recipe that uses one Nether star, two strings, two diamonds and two feathers. It is delivered as a mod or as a data pack, and the server must run it while players may leave it out. Files target Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 and 1.21.7 – 1.21.11, and the latest builds are version 1.0.0, first published on 2026-05-22. The code is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
