Disable Elytra / No Elytra
by potatotyper
With this mod, a server can keep elytras from being equipped in chosen dimensions, with server commands that set which dimensions allow them.
What it does
On a Fabric server, the mod stops elytras from being equipped in the dimensions an operator marks as disabled. Dimensions are named by their identifiers, such as minecraft:the_end, so a server can keep elytra flight in the overworld while removing it in the End. Commands that change the setup need operator-level permissions.
Changes made with commands are written to the mod config and take effect right away for players who are online. When a player moves into a disabled dimension, any elytra they wear is returned to their inventory. If the inventory is full, the elytra is dropped at the player's position in the new dimension. The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything.
The mod is published for Fabric and 26.1.2 only, with the 1.0.0 file dated 2026-04-13 under the MIT License. It is not open source.
Key features
Per-dimension elytra block
Elytras cannot be equipped in dimensions set as disabled, while other dimensions keep normal flight.
Dimension identifiers
Dimensions are referenced by full identifiers, such as minecraft:the_end, which lets the setup name any dimension.
Live configuration
Commands update the config and apply at once to players already online, with no restart needed.
Elytra returned on transfer
An elytra worn in a newly disabled dimension goes back to the player's inventory, or drops if the inventory is full.

Use cases

How it compares
Fast Elytra is a client-side only Fabric mod for 1.21 – 1.21.6, under All rights reserved, so it changes flight speed on the player's own side rather than restricting where elytras work. No Elytra Mod is server-side only on Fabric for 1.21.7 – 1.21.11 under the MIT License, and it covers a different version range. Craftable Elytra, a custom-licensed mod for 1.21 – 26.3, is server required with client optional and adds crafting instead of blocking.
