Enhanced Elytras
by anaphan
Enhanced Elytras gives the elytra two new variants, bladed and weighted, which change how players dive into and fight enemies in flight.
What it does
Both variants are built from an elytra surrounded by a second material, and the bladed and weighted types follow the same recipe pattern. Crafting uses a smithing table for the upgrade, and each variant is enchantable with the enchantments of the weapon it imitates. Netherite is the one material that does not take the upgrade.
The bladed variant works like a mace in flight: a dive can smash an enemy in one strike. The weighted variant works like a spear: a player can fly quickly through a group of enemies and deal damage as the glider passes. Both are aimed at player-versus-player fights and combat against mobs.
The mod needs Fabric API and runs on Fabric and NeoForge, with files for 26.2 only. It is open source under the MIT License, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it. The latest Fabric and NeoForge files, 0.1.0, were published on 2026-06-28.
Key features
Bladed elytra
A bladed elytra combines the elytra with a second material and performs a mace-style dive attack.

Mace and spear enchantments
The new elytras accept the enchantments of the mace and spear they imitate.
Material tiers
Each variant comes in tiers that use different materials, with netherite excluded from the smithing upgrade.
