Obtaining [ ]

Natural generation [ ]

Elytra are establish just in end cities in detail frames in the treasure room of the end send. A shulker guards the elytra and the send'south ii boodle chests.

Repairing [ ]

Elytra can be enchanted with Mending so that they become repaired as the player collects experience orbs while wearing/holding a pair.

Elytra can also be repaired in the player crafting filigree, by combining two damaged pairs of elytra together.

Ingredients	Crafting recipe	Clarification
Damaged Elytra		The durability of the ii pairs is added together, plus an extra five% immovability, just removing whatsoever enchantments.

Similarly, 2 damaged elytra pairs can be combined on a grindstone.

Ingredients	Grinding recipe	Clarification
2x Damaged Elytra		The immovability of the two pairs is added together, plus an extra v% durability, but removing any enchantments.

Elytra can too be repaired at an anvil using phantom membranes, which has the reward that it preserves enchantments on elytra. Each phantom membrane restores 108 immovability points, exactly 25% of the elytra'south full durability.

Name	Ingredients	Anvil usage
Elytra	Elytra + Phantom Membrane	Repair & Name Elytra 2

Each repair on the anvil will also increase the prior work penalty for the Elytra, making every subsequent repair increasingly expensive, with an upper limit where repairs are no longer immune because they are "too expensive". However, the prior work penalty can be reset to 0 for an enchanted elytra pair when information technology is disenchanted on a grindstone (past adding null to it). Unenchanted elytra cannot be used on the grindstone alone.

Usage [ ]

Elytra are equipped in the chestplate slot, either past placing the item directly in the slot, by pressing use item while held in hand, or past firing a indicate-blank dispenser at a target. They are gray in color by default, but they adopt the design of whatsoever greatcoat the player is wearing. They maintain their in-earth texture blueprint even when they're cleaved or enchanted.

Flying [ ]

To fly, the player must press the jump key while falling, and the elytra spread autonomously like a beetle'south elytra. The actor tin aim their view around to plough or suit their pitch. Losing altitude increases speed, and gaining altitude decreases speed. Firework rockets can be used to increment speed. Another flight method is using the Riptide-enchanted trident. Additionally, speed is speedily lost from sharp changes in direction.

Directly striking any surface while gliding as well fast causes damage to the player and their armor proportional to flight speed (although this may exist calculated from another cistron). The player does non take fall impairment from colliding at a shallow angle or a low enough speed. The critical, damaging angle is about 50° with the collision surface, and the calculation for damage seems to be every bit if the player had fallen from their maximum potential glide peak to the height of the struck surface.

A safe and simple cruise with the highest travel distance tin can be accomplished by aiming directly at the horizon while at the glide'south distance limit. The player's speed is irksome enough to allow them fourth dimension to do other things during a long flying, similar sort out their inventory.

In Creative mode or when the "mayfly" ability has been given, the histrion tin can alternatively hold the jump primal to fly up,‌^{[ Bedrock Edition only ]} or double press the jump key to move around freely.

Flight can be stopped past pressing the bound key.‌^{[ Boulder Edition only ]}

Speed and altitude [ ]

Elytra have a minimum speed of near seven.ii m/s (obtained by gliding at the distance cap with a strong upward pitch of xxx°). If the diver drops to 0 speed, they quickly get accelerated back up to at to the lowest degree this minimum. The diver can increase speed past choosing to descend faster, but after, they do not regain almost as much altitude. In the real earth, drag increases with speed, and drag, in plow, slows the aircraft; Minecraft mimics this. To glide from cliff to cliff, a player's best bet is to aim slightly to a higher place the horizon.

Sharp turns are a fast fashion to lose speed. Quicker turns crusade greater losses, while gentle movements have small furnishings. Making a hairpin turn can actually be used for making high-speed landings safe as well equally for precise landings on modest targets like rooftops. The player aims to glide just above the target, then equally they're right over it they immediately reverse directions, and then they make readjustments equally necessary.

The lowest rate of altitude loss is nigh 1.5 k/sec, obtained by gliding at the altitude cap with a slight up pitch (12° or 15°).

To get the best possible glide ratio (and thus the furthest distance out of their altitude), the diver pilot should aim directly at the horizon. This ratio is almost nine.47 to ane.

Slow Falling potions greatly decrease your vertical (fall) speed, which also greatly decreases your horizontal speed (clearly, it depends on the vertical fall rate, as one might wait from flight modeling). The cyberspace result is that you wing extremely slowly - simply your Elytra yet takes immovability damage at the usual rate (i durability per second without Unbreaking, etc.). Due to this combination, Elytra plus Slow Falling is largely a novelty that nigh players won't use. The Feather Falling enchantment does not affect Elytra speed and does non reduce fall damage from hitting things with elytra.

It is possible to calculate the glide range by dividing the altitude by tan of the glide angle (distance/tan(glide angle)). For example, if the player glides from an altitude of 64 blocks above ground with a glide angle of 15 degrees, they can glide for 237 blocks (presume that they are on superflat), since floor(64 / tan(15)) is 237.

Stalling [ ]

Trying for also high a pitch reduces the player's lift. At a pitch of thirty° higher up the horizon, the histrion has the everyman possible airspeed of seven.two m/sec. To a higher place that, the player might exist considered to be in a stall. Increasing the pitch gets closer to a costless-autumn, and stalled flight at lx° is enough to cause fall impairment. Stalling at xc° is a true gratis-fall.

Recovering from a stall is done by readjusting to any safe pitch every bit quickly as the histrion likes. This can be just irresolute to look at the horizon.

Powered flight [ ]

Firework rockets are used for speed boosts while gliding.

Firework rockets tin be used for propulsion during flight by placing it in either hand and using . Using a firework rocket while gliding quickly maximizes the player's speed for a time similar to the rocket'south flight elapsing.

If the rocket is equipped with firework stars, information technology explodes at the end of its flight, inflicting damage based on the number of stars.

A trident enchanted with Riptide can be used for propulsion also, but but in water when in the Overworld or The Finish. It can alternatively be used in a biome that has pelting or a thunderstorm.

It is possible to gain altitude during powered flight. This makes it possible to glide for farthermost distances and had been used extensively by far lands/World Border challenges.

Durability and Repair [ ]

Durability decreases by one bespeak each second when gliding. A pair of elytra has 432 durability, allowing 7 minutes and 12 seconds of gliding fourth dimension without enchantments, providing more than x,000 blocks of transport altitude. Information technology is possible to apply the Unbreaking enchantment using an anvil and an enchanted book, which affects the elytra, in the same fashion it does to tools. Unbreaking Three increases elytra's flight time to nearly 4 seconds per durability bespeak, a total of 28 minutes and 44 seconds.

When the durability reaches one, elytra stop working until they are repaired, adopting a tattered texture in the inventory. The damage ends at durability 1, so they can never fully break. A pair may be repaired past either using the Mending enchantment, combining two pairs in a grindstone, or combining it in an anvil with phantom membranes. In an anvil, each piece of membrane repairs elytra by 108 durability points, requiring 4 pieces to fully repair them.

Each repair on the anvil will too increase the prior work penalty for the Elytra, making every subsequent repair increasingly expensive, with an upper limit where repairs are no longer allowed because they are "too expensive". Nevertheless, the prior work penalty can be reset to 0 for an enchanted elytra pair when it is disenchanted on a grindstone (by adding nothing to it). Unenchanted elytra cannot be used on the grindstone lonely.

Enchantments [ ]

Elytra tin can receive the following enchantments by combining in an anvil:

Enchantment	Max Level	Method
Unbreaking	Three
Mending	I
Expletive of Vanishing	I
Curse of Binding	I

Trivia [ ]

• The singular grade of elytra is an elytron.
• In reality, elytra are not used for flying. They are the tough forewings of beetles and earwigs that cover the wings they really use for flight. Nonetheless, like Minecraft elytra, in beetles they tin exist used for gliding.
• A flight player has a shorter hitbox than usual: A 0.6 block cube centered on the player's feet.
• It is possible to glide while on a ladder, by pressing ⇧ Shift followed by space, causing the player to fall with a speed determined by the role player'south visual angle. This means that the player tin descend fast on a ladder, but if the speed is besides fast when hitting the footing, they tin can have fatal fall damage. Using a firework rocket tin as well speed up the thespian's descent.
• In Coffee Edition if the player glides into deep h2o with elytra equipped, the animation does not finish, giving it the appearance of a pond blitheness. The animation stops once the histrion touches the footing. Additionally, firework rockets can be used with elytra underwater with a short boost duration.
• Elytra can be equipped onto some mobs using commands. This has no result unless the mob has the FallFlying tag ready to 1b. Mobs glide frontward, unable to command the move before landing, at which fourth dimension they regain their AI.
  • Exceptions to this are squids as the squid'southward AI causes it to attempt swimming in midair, making it autumn straight down because it conflicts with the elytra mechanics.
  • Considering chickens autumn slowly, they can move more distance.
  • Endermen, tamed wolves and tamed cats that are not sitting cannot teleport until they hitting the ground.
  • Because mobs do not regain control until they hit the ground, vexes fall until they dice or despawn equally they cannot bear on the ground.
  • Mobs capable of flight, such as parrots or vexes can steer in air, though they cannot travel up or down. Dolphins also have this ability.
• 4J Studios created an elytron-centered tutorial map for console edition when elytra were kickoff introduced to this platform, this map is themed as "ruins of an ancient civilisation of Minecraft worshipers" and showcases the new amplified terrain generation. This map can be seen behind the scenes.^[2] On 28 March 2022, 4J Studios added an elytron-themed Mini Games for panel edition called "Glide;" information technology consists of Time Attack and Score Assault mode.^{[3] [4]}
• A player who jumps with both elytra and the Slow Falling consequence travels slightly up, which is a inexpensive just fourth dimension-consuming alternative to fireworks and Riptide-enchanted tridents.
• On May 5, 2022, Mojang tweeted 'The End never yields enough adequate resources, sadly,' along with a sad emoji.^[5] The first letter of each word spells 'T E n y east a r s' (Ten Years). Attached was a picture of Steve and Alex wearing both a chestplate and elytra. The next day, they tweeted, "Have you noticed something suspic10us hither lately?"^[six]
• Elytra do not deactivate when the player flies into lava.
