Aesthetic Elytras
by Pillow
Aesthetic Elytras lets players show a cape's texture on the elytra they wear, using a Fabric client-side mod for 1.20.4.
What it does
Displayed elytras can take on the texture of a cape, so a player who wears one can show a custom look while gliding. Players can rename an elytra and view the texture options, and an elytra can also be shown on an armour stand.
Custom textures are added as image files in the aestheticelytras/textures/cape folder, named in lowercase with hyphens, for example minecon-2016 for an elytra named Minecon 2016. Textures can also be supplied through a resource pack. Aesthetic Elytras is a Fabric mod for 1.20.4, released under All rights reserved, and it is not open source. Only the client needs it, so servers run without it.
Key features

A displayed elytra takes the texture of a cape while it is worn.
Renaming and texture options
Players rename an elytra and pick from the texture options listed in the mod's settings.
Armour stand display
Elytras can be shown on an armour stand, so a setup can be displayed without a player wearing it.
Custom texture files
New textures are added as image files following the lowercase naming rules, or supplied with a resource pack.

Elytra Only Cape is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and covers 26.1 – 26.3, so it does not run on 1.20.4.

What the author says
Files are stored lowercase and only with _,. or -, but the mod will transform uppercase and with space names to be acceptable. For example, you can name your elytra Minecon 2016, and that will be equivalent to the minecon-2016 file.
