Elytra Nerf

by IAmSneak

Elytra Nerf changes how elytras wear, repair and fly on Fabric servers, making gliding harder to rely on for travel in single-player and multiplayer worlds.

FabricServer-side onlyCC0 1.0 Universal1.19 – 1.20.4

What it does

Elytras lose durability twice as fast as usual, and rockets are used to counter this by favoring higher flight duration and explosive types. Elytras also boost more slowly, so a player gains speed at a lower rate than in vanilla. Damage taken while wearing an elytra is reduced for magic sources, and rain or water increases the wear a worn elytra takes.

The mod is a server-side only change. Only the server needs it, and players join without installing anything. It requires Fabric API, and files cover 1.19 – 1.20.4 across ten release versions, with 1.0.1+1.20.2 for 1.20.4 as the latest file. It is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Faster durability loss

    Elytras run out of durability at twice the normal rate, so long flights cost more material.

  2. Slower boosting

    Firework boosts take effect more slowly, reducing the speed gained from each rocket.

  3. Repair with damage

    Elytras that are repaired take damage in proportion to the repair, which offsets the durability change.

  4. Rocket incentives

    Explosive rockets and higher flight duration rockets become the more useful choice for gliders.

Disable Elytra is also server-side only and open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, for 1.17 – 1.20.4, but it removes elytra flight instead of adjusting it. Buffed Elytra targets 1.20.6 and runs on client and server under All rights reserved, while Worse Elytra covers 1.20.1 on Fabric and Forge with a custom license and both sides.
