Netherite Plated Elytra

by Obe

Netherite Plated Elytra adds a netherite-plated elytra that players craft through a Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template and a Netherite Ingot.

FabricNeoForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.21.11

What it does

The mod adds the Netherite Plated Elytra as a craftable glider. Players obtain it by applying the Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template with a Netherite Ingot, and the finished item is meant to withstand the hazards of lava that would destroy a plain elytra. The item carries a durability of 864 and provides +4 armor when worn.

Elytra Trims by KikuGie and Elytra Physics by OhHeyItsJosh are named by the author as companions that work with the mod. Netherite Plated Elytra runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, both for 1.21.11, with 0.0.4 as the latest file on each loader. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are public.

Key features

  1. Netherite plated glider

    Adds the Netherite Plated Elytra as a glider that keeps its flight role and adds protection.

  2. Lava-resistant wings

    The elytra does not burn in lava, so flights over lava fields are not cut short by fire.

  3. Armor and durability

    The item gives +4 armor and a durability of 864, well above a plain elytra.

  4. Smithing upgrade path

    Players craft it with a Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template and a Netherite Ingot, so it fits the netherite progression.
