Elegant Elytras
by CrowFaced
With Elegant Elytras installed, players can pick decorative wings that replace the look of the Elytra on the character's back, each one crafted with feathers, phantom membrane and leather.
What it does
Elegant Elytras introduces a set of custom wings built on the Elytra. Each wing keeps Elytra-based flight, so a player who wears one can glide the same way, while the appearance changes to the chosen design. Wings come in several families: angel wings, dragon and demon wings, and faerie wings, with several variants in each family.
Many of the recipes need feathers, phantom membrane and leather, and the author recommends Enough Items to look them up. The mod is a Forge mod for client and server, so the server and every player need it. It has files for 1.18.2 and 1.20.1, with 2.1.2 for 1.20.1 as the latest release, and the code is under All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
Key features
Angel wings
Several angel wing designs, each with the flight of an Elytra and a different look.
Dragon and demon wings
A family of dragon and demon wings with several variants for players who prefer darker designs.
Faerie wings
Faerie wings add another set of options, with their own crafting path built from common materials.
Crafted wing recipes
Wings are assembled from parts and other materials, so each design takes some collection before it can be made.
