Obtaining an Aerobatic Elytra - endorh/aerobatic-elytra GitHub Wiki

This mod adds a new elytra item to the game. When equipped, this item allows players to fly aerobatically. It also supports an ability system, which lets different Elytras have different capabilities, such as fuel capacity, speed, lift or underwater flight.

In addition to the regular item durability, consumed while flying, the Aerobatic Elytra has a fuel meter, which can be recharged with firework rockets.

Crafting

Depending on the server configuration, you may be able to craft an Aerobatic Elytra from a regular Elytra.

The default recipe is as simple as adding two rockets, to the left and right of the elytra, but datapacks/modpacks may change this recipe, or remove it.

Finding an Aerobatic Elytra

By default, Aerobatic Elytras are not generated anywhere in the world.

However, the mod exposes a new loot table (oddly enough not exposed by vanilla Minecraft), which allows datapacks/modpacks to replace the Elytras found at End Ships (with luck involved). The mod also exposes a new loot function that makes it possible to make the Elytras appear more frequently near/far from the center of the End.

One of the bundled datapacks offers this feature, so it's very easy to set up in a server with just two commands:

  • /aerobaticelytra datapack install generate_aerobatic_elytra_in_end_ships will extract the datapack from the mod jar and copy it to the server's datapacks folder
  • /datapack enable generate_aerobatic_elytra_in_end_ships is the vanilla command to enable the newly available datapack

[!NOTE] These commands can only be used by operators or single player cheats.
