Excelytra
Excelytra adds a crafting recipe for the elytra, so players can build wings instead of finding them only in End ships.
What it does
The mod leaves End ships and their elytras unchanged, and adds a structure similar to the amethyst geode in the End that yields the template for an upgraded phantom membrane. Combining upgraded membranes with netherite scraps produces the two wings needed for a full elytra, and two reinforced membranes plus some endstone finish the craft. Firework rockets still power the elytra as in vanilla.
The mod is a Forge build for 1.20.1 only. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The code is under All rights reserved and is not open source.
