Jet Elytra
by cutebow
Jet Elytra changes how the elytra looks on the player's model, replacing the body with jets while the player flies.
What it does
The mod swaps the player model for a jet while gliding with an elytra, and the look can be hidden through an option. Other players can also see randomized model variants when that option is enabled. The mod runs on the client alone, so a server needs nothing to show the jet model. It is published for Fabric across 12 release versions, 1.21 – 1.21.11, and is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Jet player model
The player model is replaced with jets while the elytra is in use, with a shader glow option for matching textures.
Hidden model option
A setting hides the replacement model so the player appears as usual, and it works the same for other players.
Config screens
Cloth Config and Mod Menu integration let players adjust the model options from the in-game settings.

How it compares
Better Elytra Flying is also client-side only, but it targets 1.21.9 – 1.21.10 and is not open source. Elytra Trinket Updated is open source under the MIT License for 1.21.10 – 1.21.11, and it needs both client and server.
