Elytra HUD
by Apollo_2040
Elytra HUD shows how much durability is left on a worn Elytra while a player glides, in the top-right of the screen.
What it does
The mod adds a heads-up display that reports the remaining durability percent of the Elytra being flown. A warning appears when durability drops below 4.6%, which is about 20 seconds of flight time left, so a player can land before the wings break. The low-durability message can be changed in the config file, and Mod Menu is needed to reach those settings in game. Elytra HUD is published for Fabric and needs Cloth Config API and Fabric API. It runs on the client alone, and the source code is open source under the MIT License, covering game versions 1.20 – 1.21.5.
