ElytraWarn
ElytraWarn is a Fabric utility that warns the player when an equipped elytra drops below a durability threshold during flight.
What it does
When an elytra in the chest slot falls below 10% durability, ElytraWarn plays a blinking banner alert and a sound, so a glider can land or swap wings before the elytra breaks mid-flight. The warning clears itself once the elytra is repaired or replaced with a fresh one. The check reads the item's current and maximum damage, and it looks only at the chest slot while the player is gliding.
The warning is drawn through Fabric's HUD render callback, so it respects the F1 key that hides the interface and pauses automatically on menus and screens. A toggle on the Y key switches the alert on or off, and the alert starts disabled by default. ElytraWarn is a client-side mod: the server does not need it, and players can use it on any server.
ElytraWarn requires Fabric API and is published for Fabric only, in four release versions 1.21.8 – 1.21.11 under the MIT License. The mod is not open source, though its license is permissive. Version 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 is the latest file, dated 2026-06-11.

Use cases
Long glides
Players flying across large distances can see the elytra wearing down and plan a repair or landing before the wings break.
Who it’s for: Players who glide with elytra in survival or long-distance travel, and players who want an early signal before a fragile elytra fails in the air.
How it compares
LowDurabilityWarning is also a Fabric mod with a client-side environment and the MIT License, and it covers 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, a wider range than ElytraWarn. Elytra Alert is a Fabric client-side mod under the MIT License, is open source, and covers 1.21 – 26.3. Fight2Flight is a client-side Fabric mod for 1.21.5 under All rights reserved, so its license is not permissive like ElytraWarn's.
