Elytra Crafting Recipe
by StaticLabs
Elytra Crafting Recipe replaces the Elytra's end-city source with a crafting recipe that players complete in the normal survival loop, using Dragon's Breath, Nether Stars and Phantom Membranes.
What it does
The recipe is designed as a late-game challenge: a player has to gather materials from the Nether, the End and the sky before the Elytra can be crafted. Only vanilla Minecraft items are used in the recipe, and the mod adds no new blocks or materials, so the balance follows the existing game progression.
Only the server needs the mod, and players can join without installing it. Elytra Crafting Recipe is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Files exist for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and a Data pack build is also available. The mod covers 1.13 – 26.1.1 in 48 release versions, and the latest file is 1.0+mod for 26.1.1.
Key features
Craftable Elytra
The Elytra can be made at a crafting table from a recipe, so it no longer depends on finding an End ship.
Dragon's Breath and Nether Star inputs
The recipe requires Dragon's Breath and a Nether Star, which push the player through the End and the Nether.
Phantom Membrane inputs
Phantom Membranes are part of the recipe, so a player must hunt phantoms to complete it.
Endless hunting ends
Players no longer have to wait for a last End ship to spawn, which suits multiplayer servers with many players.

Use cases
Multiplayer servers
Server owners who want a non-linear progression for many players can offer the Elytra through a recipe instead of a ship.
Late-game challenge
Players who have finished the End can use the recipe as a last goal that requires all three dimensions.
Who it’s for: Server owners and players who want the Elytra as a crafted reward rather than a loot find, in survival worlds and on multiplayer servers.
