Elytra Slot Mod FAQ

Open your inventory and look for the extra slot positioned just to the left of your armor slots. Drag the elytra from your inventory into that slot, or shift-click it to move it there automatically.

It sits directly to the left of the four standard armor slots in the player inventory screen. If you don't see it, make sure the mod is actually loaded and check whether another inventory mod is hiding or overlapping that area.

Yes, that's the whole point of the mod. The elytra goes in its dedicated slot while your chestplate stays in the normal chest armor slot, so you keep full armor protection while gliding.

Make sure the elytra is actually in the dedicated slot and not just sitting in your regular inventory. You still need to be airborne and press the jump key while falling to start gliding, just like vanilla elytra.

Open your inventory and click or shift-click the elytra out of the dedicated slot back into your inventory or hotbar. You can also swap it with another elytra by placing the new one directly into the slot.

Yes, the elytra behaves like a normally equipped one and loses durability as you fly. Repair it with phantom membranes or mending the same way you would a chest-slot elytra.

The mod was formerly known as Curious Elytra, so it's designed with that ecosystem in mind. If you also run Curios or Trinkets, check that the elytra slot isn't being duplicated or hidden by another mod's slot rendering.

Most inventory and armor HUD mods work fine, but some that redraw the inventory screen can overlap or hide the elytra slot. If the slot disappears, try disabling other inventory-tweaking mods one at a time to find the conflict.

It works on servers as long as the mod is installed on the server side or the server allows the slot behavior. On vanilla servers without the mod, the extra slot won't exist and you'll have to use the normal chest slot.

Yes, you can shift-click or drag it between the dedicated slot and your hotbar like any other item. There's no special keybind required unless another mod adds one.

Open your inventory and look for the extra slot added just to the left of your normal armor slots. Place your Elytra wings in that slot, then jump off a high place and press the jump key again to start gliding while your chestplate stays equipped.

Yes, that's the whole point of the mod. Your chestplate goes in the normal chest armor slot and the Elytra goes in the dedicated Elytra slot, so you keep full armor protection while gliding.

First check that the mod is actually loaded for your game version and that you're looking at the correct inventory screen, since some inventory-overhaul mods move or hide the slot. If the slot is missing entirely, another mod is likely conflicting with it, so try removing inventory mods one at a time.

Make sure the item is actually an Elytra and not a chestplate or a modded wing item the slot doesn't recognize. If it still won't go in, another mod may be overriding the slot's accepted items.

Just pick it up and drop it into whichever slot you want it in, the same way you'd move any armor piece. Remember that putting it in the chest slot means you lose chestplate protection, while the Elytra slot lets you keep both.

It generally works with mods that add new chestplates or armor sets, since those still go in the normal chest slot. Problems usually come from mods that redesign the inventory screen or add their own accessory slots, which can overlap with the Elytra slot.

Yes, the mod was renamed, so if you were looking for Curious Elytra, this is the same mod under its new name. The core feature of a separate Elytra slot is unchanged.

It needs to be installed on the server as well as the client for the extra slot to function properly in multiplayer. If only the client has it, the slot may appear but not behave correctly.

No, it's a lightweight mod that only adds an inventory slot and some slot logic, so it has essentially no impact on framerate or tick performance. Any lag you see is almost certainly coming from other mods.
