Elytra_crafting
Elytra_crafting lets players craft Elytra with a recipe, which the vanilla game does not offer.
What it does
The mod adds a crafting recipe for the Elytra, a wing item used for gliding. Without it, the Elytra can only be found in the game world, and this recipe gives players a way to make one at a crafting table. The mod is a single recipe addition and has no other blocks, items or screens.
Elytra_crafting is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and also as a data pack for server platforms. Files cover 23 release versions, 1.17.1 – 1.21.11, with 1.0.0 as the latest build for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, all dated 2026-03-07. Snapshot builds are published as well.
The server must run the mod for the recipe to work, while players may leave it out and still join. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
