Simply Craftable Elytra
Simply Craftable Elytra makes the Elytra craftable on Fabric for Minecraft 1.20.1, so players can build one instead of finding it.
What it does
The mod is focused on making the Elytra craftable, and its recipe uses 4 Phantom Membranes and 2 Strings. It requires Fabric API and runs on Fabric Loader, with the latest version recommended. Only 1.20.1 is covered by the single 1.0.0 release, published on 2025-04-02 and last updated the same day.
The author describes it as the first-ever mod of its kind for Fabric 1.20.1, added because community requests asked for more versions. It is meant to pair with Revamped Floating Islands and Nether Floating Islands, mods that change terrain generation so the Elytra becomes a more useful primary mode of travel. The environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod, and the code is open source under the GNU General Public License v2.0 or later.
