What Are Elytra?
Elytra can be found in MinecraftsEnd Cities.
Elytra can also be found hanging in an Item Frame on an End Ship.
If you glide slightly downwards, you will gain speed and be able to travel longer distances.
You are not able to jump and directly begin flying upwards.
Learning how to properly fly and stay in the air is very beneficial when using your Elytra.
In our Minecraftsingle-player world, we generally use Redstone Rails to travel around.
After the addition of the Elytra, we have nearly eliminated using Redstone Rails altogether.
Weve found that the Elytra is also a wonderful cure for any potential boredom you may have in Minecraft.
Weve found that its nearly impossible, but we keep trying because we continuously keep getting closer and closer.
Another benefit of the Elytra is the potential for it to back up your life in an unexpected situation.
Durability
Like most items that are used, Elytra have durability.
An Elytra has a durability of 431 points.
The durability of an Elytra will decrease by one point for every second it is being used in flight.
When the durability of the Elytra reaches 1 point, it will stop working completely.
Instead of completely breaking and not being able to be used anymore, the Elytra can actually be repaired.
To repair an Elytra, put two Elytra together on a Crafting Table.
The shared points between the two Elytra will be added together and will be combined into one Elytra.
Combining an Elytra and Leather on anAnvilwill also repair the damaged Elytra.
Each Leather added to the Elytra will add 108 points of durability.
To completely repair a fully damaged Elytra, you will need to use 4 Leather.
Enchanted items gain additional properties that will benefit the player upon use.
The available Enchantments that may be added to an Elytra are Unbreaking and Mending.
The Unbreaking Enchantment gives the item a longer lifetime until its breaking point.
The higher the level of the Enchantment given to the item, the longer it will last.
The Unbreaking Enchantment is applied to each point of durability.
The Enchantment Mending uses a players own XP to increase an items durability.
An item with the Mending Enchantment uses XP orbs collected to repair an item.
If a player does not have a cape, their default color of Elytra is a grey variant.
you could change the appearance of your Elytra usingMinecraft resource packsorMinecraft mods.
