Elytra Slot — FAQ

FAQ

Can I wear a chestplate and an elytra at the same time? Yes - that is the whole point of the dedicated slot. The elytra goes in its own slot and the chestplate stays in the chest armor slot.

Does the elytra still need durability and repairs? Yes. It wears down while gliding and is repaired the normal ways (anvil with phantom membrane, Mending, or combining two elytra).

Do I press a key to fly? No. As long as an elytra is in the slot, you glide the normal way - jump off a height and use the jump input.

What happens if the elytra breaks while flying? You stop gliding and fall, exactly as with a normally-worn elytra. Repair it or carry a spare.

Can I put something other than an elytra in the slot? No. The slot only accepts an elytra.
