Elytra Slot

by TheIllusiveC4

Elytra Slot lets a player wear an elytra in its own inventory slot, so flight stays available while a chestplate is worn.

What it does

Equipping an elytra in the added slot grants the same flight as wearing it in the chest slot. The chest slot stays free for other armor, which is the main purpose of the mod. It adds the slot through Curios API and Trinkets, so the inventory screen shows it alongside other accessory slots.

Built on Fabric API, Accessories, Caelus API, Curios API, Quilted Fabric API (QFAPI) and Quilt Standard Libraries (QSL), and Trinkets, it needs those libraries installed alongside it. Client and server is the required setup, and builds exist across Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. The source is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, making the project open source.

Key features

  1. Dedicated elytra slot

    An extra slot in the player inventory holds the elytra, so the chest slot remains usable for armor.

  2. Chest armor kept

    Flight from the elytra is preserved while a chestplate is worn in the armor slot.

  3. Accessory slot placement

    The slot is registered through Curios API and Trinkets, so it appears among other accessory slots on the player.

  4. Elytra flight in the slot

    An elytra placed in the slot keeps its full gliding behavior, so players do not lose flight to gain armor space.

Questions

Does Elytra Slot need Fabric API on Forge?

Required dependencies include Fabric API, which the Fabric build depends on directly. The Forge and NeoForge builds still depend on the other libraries named on the card, so each loader's requirements should be checked on install.

Does the server need Elytra Slot?

Yes. Both the server and every client need the mod installed, since the setup is client and server.

Which game versions have files?

Files exist for 23 release versions, covering 1.13.2 – 1.21.5, with the latest NeoForge file being 10.0.1+1.21.4 for 1.21.5.
