Obtaining [ ]

Natural generation [ ]

Elytra are found only in end cities in item frames in the treasure room of the end ship. A shulker guards the elytra and the transport'south two boodle chests.

Repairing [ ]

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

Elytra tin also be repaired in the role player crafting grid, by combining 2 damaged pairs of elytra together.

Ingredients	Crafting recipe	Description
Damaged Elytra		The durability of the two pairs is added together, plus an extra 5% durability, simply removing any enchantments.

Similarly, two damaged elytra pairs tin exist combined on a grindstone.

Ingredients	Grinding recipe	Description
2x Damaged Elytra		The durability of the 2 pairs is added together, plus an extra 5% immovability, but removing any enchantments.

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

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

Each repair on the anvil will also increment 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 "as well expensive". Nonetheless, the prior work penalty can exist 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 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 mitt, or by firing a point-bare dispenser at a target. They are grey in color by default, but they prefer the blueprint of any cape the player is wearing. They maintain their in-world texture design fifty-fifty when they're broken or enchanted.

Flying [ ]

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

Directly hitting any surface while gliding too fast causes damage to the player and their armor proportional to flight speed (although this may be calculated from another factor). The player does not take fall damage from colliding at a shallow bending or a low plenty speed. The critical, damaging angle is well-nigh 50° with the standoff surface, and the calculation for harm seems to be as if the thespian had fallen from their maximum potential glide height to the height of the struck surface.

A safety and uncomplicated cruise with the highest travel altitude can be achieved by aiming directly at the horizon while at the glide's altitude limit. The player'due south speed is deadening enough to allow them time to practise other things during a long flight, like sort out their inventory.

In Creative mode or when the "mayfly" ability has been given, the player tin alternatively agree the bound key to fly up,‌^{[ Boulder Edition just ]} or double press the jump fundamental to move around freely.

Flight tin be stopped by pressing the jump primal.‌^{[ Bedrock Edition merely ]}

Speed and altitude [ ]

Elytra take a minimum speed of about 7.2 m/southward (obtained by gliding at the altitude cap with a strong upward pitch of 30°). If the diver drops to 0 speed, they rapidly become accelerated support to at least this minimum. The diver can increase speed by choosing to descend faster, but after, they practice not regain nearly as much altitude. In the real world, elevate increases with speed, and drag, in plow, slows the aircraft; Minecraft mimics this. To glide from cliff to cliff, a role player'southward all-time bet is to aim slightly above the horizon.

Sharp turns are a fast way to lose speed. Quicker turns crusade greater losses, while gentle movements have small effects. Making a hairpin turn can actually be used for making loftier-speed landings safe as well as for precise landings on small targets like rooftops. The thespian aims to glide merely above the target, then as they're right over information technology they immediately reverse directions, then they make readjustments as necessary.

The lowest rate of distance loss is virtually 1.five m/sec, obtained by gliding at the altitude cap with a slight upward 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 nigh ix.47 to ane.

Slow Falling potions greatly decrease your vertical (fall) speed, which likewise greatly decreases your horizontal speed (conspicuously, it depends on the vertical fall rate, equally i might look from flight modeling). The net result is that you fly extremely slowly - but your Elytra withal takes durability impairment at the usual rate (i durability per second without Unbreaking, etc.). Due to this combination, Elytra plus Slow Falling is largely a novelty that well-nigh players won't utilize. The Feather Falling enchantment does not bear on Elytra speed (only can help protect you if you country hard).

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

Stalling [ ]

Trying for too high a pitch reduces the player'south lift. At a pitch of 30° higher up the horizon, the player has the lowest possible airspeed of 7.2 chiliad/sec. Higher up that, the thespian might exist considered to be in a stall. Increasing the pitch gets closer to a free-fall, and stalled flying at sixty° is plenty to cause fall harm. Stalling at 90° is a truthful free-autumn.

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

Powered flight [ ]

Firework rockets are used for speed boosts while gliding.

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

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

A trident enchanted with Riptide can be used for propulsion as well, just only in water when in the Overworld or The End. It can alternatively be used in a biome that has rain or a thunderstorm.

Information technology is possible to gain altitude during powered flight. This makes it possible to glide for extreme distances and had been used extensively past far lands/World Border challenges.

Durability and Repair [ ]

Durability decreases by one point 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 than 10,000 blocks of transport distance. Information technology is possible to apply the Unbreaking enchantment using an anvil and an enchanted book, which affects the elytra, in the same mode it does to tools. Unbreaking Three increases elytra'due south flight time to about four seconds per durability indicate, a full of 28 minutes and 44 seconds.

When the immovability reaches ane, elytra stop working until they are repaired, adopting a tattered texture in the inventory. The impairment ends at immovability 1, so they can never fully break. A pair may be repaired by 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 immovability points, requiring iv 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". Withal, the prior work penalisation tin 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 alone.

Enchantments [ ]

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

Unbreaking	III
Mending	I
Expletive of Vanishing	I

Trivia [ ]

• The singular form of elytra is an elytron.
• In reality, elytra are not used for flight. They are the tough forewings of beetles and earwigs that embrace the wings they actually use for flying. However, like Minecraft elytra, in beetles they can be used for gliding.
• A flying player has a shorter hitbox than usual: A 0.6 block cube centered on the player's feet.
• Information technology is possible to glide while on a ladder, past pressing ⇧ Shift followed by infinite, causing the histrion to fall with a speed adamant by the thespian'southward visual angle. This means that the player can descend fast on a ladder, but if the speed is too fast when hitting the basis, they can take fatal fall damage. Using a firework rocket tin can also speed upwardly the player's descent.
• In Java Edition if the player glides into deep water with elytra equipped, the animation does not stop, giving it the advent of a swimming animation. The animation stops one time the player touches the ground. Additionally, firework rockets can exist used with elytra underwater with a short boost duration.
• Elytra can be equipped onto some mobs using commands. This has no issue unless the mob has the FallFlying tag ready to 1b. Mobs glide frontward, unable to command the movement before landing, at which time they regain their AI.
  • Exceptions to this are squids as the squid's AI causes it to try swimming in midair, making it fall directly down because information technology conflicts with the elytra mechanics.
  • Because chickens fall slowly, they can move more altitude.
  • Endermen, tamed wolves and tamed cats that are non sitting cannot teleport until they striking the ground.
  • Because mobs do not regain control until they hit the ground, vexes fall until they die or despawn as they cannot touch on the ground.
  • Mobs capable of flying, such as parrots or vexes tin steer in air, though they cannot travel up or down. Dolphins also have this power.
• 4J Studios created an elytron-centered tutorial map for console edition when elytra were first introduced to this platform, this map is themed every bit "ruins of an ancient culture of Minecraft worshipers" and showcases the new amplified terrain generation. This map can be seen behind the scenes.^[ane] On 28 March 2017, 4J Studios added an elytron-themed Mini Games for console edition called "Glide;" it consists of Time Attack and Score Assault mode.^{[ii] [3]}
• A player who jumps with both elytra and the Slow Falling issue travels slightly upward, which is a cheap but time-consuming alternative to fireworks and Riptide-enchanted tridents.
• On May 5, 2019, Mojang tweeted 'The Terminate never yields plenty adequate resources, sadly,' along with a sad emoji.^[4] The beginning letter of each word spells 'T E north y e a r southward' (X Years). Attached was a picture of Steve and Alex wearing both a chestplate and elytra. The side by side 24-hour interval, they tweeted, "Have you noticed something suspic10us hither lately?"^[v]
• Elytra practise not deactivate when the player flies into lava.
