Customizable Elytra

by hidoni

Customizable Elytra lets players dye Elytra and place banners onto them, in the same way leather armor and shields accept those changes.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.16.4 – 26.2

What it does

Elytra can be dyed and decorated with banners, and the mod extends this to armor trims from 1.20 onward. Crafting an Elytra with a piece of paper hides the cape from appearing on it. Glow ink sacs from other mods also work on it for 1.16. Both the server and every player need the mod, and it is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across the 1.16.4 – 26.2 range, under the MIT License as open source code. Required dependencies are Fabric API and Quilted Fabric API or Quilt Standard Libraries, and Mod Menu is optional.

Key features

  1. Dyeable Elytra

    Elytra take dye in the same way leather armor does, so their color can be changed in a crafting grid.

  2. Banner placement

    Banners can be applied to an Elytra to add a pattern, matching the decoration used on shields.

  3. Cape hiding

    Crafting an Elytra with paper hides the player's cape from showing on the wings.

Allows Elytra to be dyed and have banners placed onto them, in the same way as leather armor and shields (You can also hide your cape from appearing on your elytra by just crafting it with a piece of paper!)
