Fixed Elytra
by SWMods
Fixed Elytra changes how elytra durability, Mending and firework boosts behave, and adds an End-only enchantment that shortens the wait between boosts.
What it does
The mod is a standalone module built from a subset of changes first developed for Expected, with some of that content pulled out so players can choose which changes to apply. Its changes aim to balance the game, raise difficulty and give underused systems logical updates, while keeping the spirit of vanilla Minecraft.
Base durability of the elytra drops from 432 to 312 points, so players take more care when flying. Elytras can no longer be enchanted with Mending, which keeps the item a limited resource. After a firework boost, the player must wait before boosting again, which encourages slower, more deliberate movement. A new enchantment reduces that cooldown, and it is only obtainable in End Cities.
Fixed Elytra runs on Fabric for 1.21.1 and 1.21.5 and is installed on both the client and the server. Files are released under the Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 4.0 license, so the mod is not open source.
Key features
Lower elytra durability
Base durability is cut from 432 to 312 points, so elytras wear out sooner under normal use.
Mending is blocked on elytras
The Mending enchantment cannot be applied to elytras, which keeps repairs from making them effectively unlimited.
Firework boost cooldown
After a firework boost, the player has to wait before boosting again, which slows the pace of flight.
Cooldown-reducing enchantment
A unique enchantment shortens the wait between firework uses and can only be found in End Cities.

How it compares
Firework Fixed is a Fabric mod for 1.19 – 1.21.5 that runs on the client alone, is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Bedrock Elytra is a Fabric client-side mod for 1.21 – 1.21.11, also under the MIT License. N0 Elytra is a server-side Fabric mod for 1.21 – 1.21.10 and is licensed as All rights reserved, so Fixed Elytra differs by needing both sides to run it and by covering 1.21.1 and 1.21.5 instead.
