DorkixAzIgazi Armored Elytra Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I make an armored elytra?
Place your elytra and any chestplate together in an anvil (or smithing table, depending on your version) to combine them into a single armored elytra item. The resulting item will have both the flight capability of the elytra and the armor protection of the chestplate.
Can I use any chestplate with an elytra?
Yes, the mod supports combining any chestplate type—leather, iron, diamond, netherite, and others—with an elytra. Different chestplates will provide different levels of protection while flying.
What happens to durability when I combine armor and elytra?
Both the elytra and chestplate durability carry over to the armored elytra as separate durability pools. When you fly, the elytra durability depletes; when you take damage, the armor durability depletes.
How do I separate an armored elytra back into its parts?
Use a grindstone to disassemble the armored elytra, and you'll get back both the original elytra and chestplate. This is useful if you want to repair them separately or use the pieces in different combinations.
Can I repair an armored elytra in an anvil?
Yes, you can repair an armored elytra in an anvil using the appropriate repair materials for both the elytra (phantom membrane) and the chestplate (its corresponding ingot or material). You may need to repair each component's durability separately depending on how much damage each has taken.
Do I still take fall damage while wearing an armored elytra?
No, as long as you're wearing the armored elytra, you can glide and avoid fall damage just like with a regular elytra. The armor protection applies to other damage sources as normal.
Can I enchant an armored elytra?
Enchantments from the original elytra and chestplate are preserved when combined. You can also enchant the armored elytra afterward using an enchanting table or anvil, though enchantment compatibility depends on your mod version.
Does this mod work with other armor mods?
The mod generally works with chestplates from other mods, but compatibility depends on how those mods implement their armor. Test combining a modded chestplate with an elytra—if it works, you're good to go.
What's the best chestplate to use for an armored elytra?
Netherite offers the highest protection, but the choice depends on your playstyle and available resources. Lighter armor like leather or iron is easier to obtain early game, while diamond and netherite provide better defense for endgame flying.
Can I have multiple armored elytra with different chestplates?
Yes, you can create as many armored elytra as you want by combining different chestplates with separate elytras. This lets you swap between different protection levels or aesthetics depending on your needs.
