Elytra Durability Warning
by Hicham
Elytra Durability Warning gives an Elytra wearer a visual and audio alert before the glider wears out in flight.
What it does
While an Elytra is worn, the mod watches its remaining durability. When it drops by 10 percent, a bright red warning appears in chat and a high-pitched sound plays, giving the pilot time to land safely instead of having the wings break mid-flight. The code only runs while an Elytra is being worn, so the alerts stay out of the way otherwise.
The mod is a client-side only addition: only the client needs it, and servers and other players run without it. Fabric API and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) are required dependencies and must be installed alongside it. Files are published for Fabric, covering game versions 1.21.4 and 1.21.11, with 2.2+fabric for 1.21.11 as the latest build from 2026-07-09. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Visual alert in chat
A bright red warning message appears in chat once the Elytra's durability falls by 10 percent.
Audio cue
A high-pitched sound plays with the warning to draw the player's attention even when looking elsewhere.
Alerts only while gliding
The checks run only while an Elytra is worn, so no processing happens when the player wears other equipment.
Early warning before a break
The alert arrives at the 10 percent threshold, leaving time to land before the Elytra breaks in flight.

Use cases
Long flights
Players who cross large distances on an Elytra can keep track of wear without checking the item manually.
Multiplayer play
Since the mod runs on the client alone, players on any server can use it without the server owner installing anything.
Who it’s for: Players who use the Elytra on Fabric for long flights and want a warning before the glider breaks. Players on other loaders will need a different mod.
How it compares
Durability warning mod is also a client-side only Fabric mod, published under All rights reserved for 1.20 – 26.1.2, so its version coverage is broader. Breaking Warning is a Fabric mod for 1.21.11 that runs on the client and server and is released under the MIT License. ArmorSafe is a client-side Fabric mod for 1.21.11 under the MIT License and is open source, so its code can be read and changed.
