Elytra Eraser

by burnttoastdev

Elytra Eraser replaces Elytra wings with an unbreakable leather chestplate on servers that run it.

What it does

The mod swaps naturally spawning Elytra for an unbreakable leather chestplate, so a player who finds wings gets a plain chest piece instead. A data pack component changes the balance so Elytra no longer offer flight as a travel option, which leaves players on foot and by other means of transport. The End becomes harder to cross for experienced players as a result. Only the server must run the mod, while clients may leave it out. Published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with files for 1.21.5 – 1.21.11 and the code under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only, so it is open source.

Key features

  1. Elytra replacement

    Naturally spawning Elytra are replaced with an unbreakable leather chestplate that players can still wear.

  2. Data pack balance change

    A data pack removes the flight advantage of Elytra, so they no longer work as a travel method.

  3. Harder End navigation

    Without Elytra, reaching and moving through the End requires other methods, which raises the difficulty for experienced players.

What the author says

Do you absolutly hate Elytra's on your server? Elytra Eraser is here to help. This data pack brings an essential balance change making Elytra's useless. Erasing Elytra's creates a more enjoyable experience for everyone, as they allow players to use different modes of transportation rather than the elytra…
