Elytra Break Pop
by Abbas_Fadel
Elytra Break Pop shows a totem-style warning when an elytra is about to break, so a player knows the moment it happens mid-flight.
What it does
When the elytra breaks, the mod plays a visual warning built from the totem of undying animation, drawn with the broken elytra itself. Without it a break can pass unnoticed until the fall has already started, and fall damage follows.
The mod keeps a lightweight check that stays idle until an elytra actually breaks, so its footprint is small and the Modrinth page reports no measurable performance cost. Fabric API is required, and the mod has no config files or settings menu.
Elytra Break Pop is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Files exist for Minecraft 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.1.1 and 26.1.2, and the latest Fabric build, 1.0.0, targets 26.1.2 and dates from 2026-05-17.

What the author says
You're flying. Everything's fine. Then you're not flying anymore. No warning, no flash, nothing. Your elytra just quietly died and now you're plummeting at full speed wondering what went wrong. By the time you realize it, you're already taking fall damage.
