Netherite Flight Armor
Netherite Flight Armor adds a Netherite Winged Chestplate that combines full Netherite protection with the flight of an Elytra, made by an anvil fusion of a Netherite Chestplate and an Elytra.
What it does
The chestplate is crafted at an anvil by fusing a Netherite Chestplate with an Elytra, so no separate table or complicated recipe is needed. The result gives Netherite-level protection and glides like an Elytra, which removes the need to swap armor before taking off.
The mod keeps the standard Elytra mechanics and standard armor enchantments such as Unbreaking and Mending, so enchanted gear carries over. It is aimed at players who want late-game armor that stays unbreakable while still allowing flight in the skies.
Installation needs Fabric API. Netherite Flight Armor runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric on 26.1.2 only, with version 1.0.0 as the latest file from 2026-04-27, under All rights reserved.
