Elytra Nerf - Dimensional
by Phyton
Elytra Nerf - Dimensional lets server owners raise elytra durability loss separately in the Overworld, the Nether and the End.
What it does
Each flight with an elytra costs durability, and the mod adds extra loss per use in the dimensions a server selects. By default only the Overworld is affected, so players lose more durability while gliding there, and the Nether and End keep the vanilla rate unless an operator enables them. The damage amount is set to 25 by default, and the toggles for each dimension are changed through a settings file reached with the function phy eon:settings.
The mod is a datapack, so it has no Java code of its own and needs a server that runs data packs. Server owners can keep elytra useful for emergency escapes and quick ascents while making long-distance travel slower, which shortens the time before repairs are needed. Only the server has to run it, while players may leave it out. It is released under the MIT License, and the files target 1.21.6 – 26.3.
Key features
Per-dimension toggles
Overworld, Nether and End can each be switched on or off, so extra durability loss applies only where the server wants it.
Configurable damage
The extra durability lost per use is set to 25 by default and can be changed in the settings.
Overworld by default
Only the Overworld is affected out of the box, leaving the other dimensions at their vanilla rate.
Settings via function
The settings are opened with the function phy eon:settings, which shows the available options.

How it compares
No Elytras removes elytra from the game, with files for 1.21 – 1.21.10, and it is needed on the server, with the client optional. Craftable Elytra changes how elytra are obtained, under the MIT License, for 1.13 – 26.2, and only the server has to run it. No Durability removes the durability cost and is open source, for 1.21 – 26.1, and it has to be on both the server and every player. Elytra Nerf - Dimensional keeps elytra in use and instead makes their durability wear faster in selected dimensions.

What the author says
Ever notice how once players get an elytra, the world instantly feels smaller? Other forms of transportation become irrelevant almost immediately. This datapack nerfs elytra usage so it remains useful for emergency escapes and quick ascents, but not as the primary mode of travel in the Overworld.
