Features
Trims
Trims can be applied to elytras similar to the armor. By default, the mod provides textures for a all vanilla trims, and some custom ones! Note: on 1.20 and 1.21 you may need to install Elytra Trims Extensions for trim compat. !A few trims
Additionally, you can replace the trim pattern in the recipe with a trial key to get access to even more elytras. Note: this feature is currently only available on 1.21.10 and newer. 
Banner patterns
Banners can be applied to elytras to show the patterns. In the smithing table, combining elytra with a banner and either paper or leather will transfer banner or shield patterns respectively. Note: the patterns are applied without the base - you need to dye the elytra to add it. !Elytra with banner patterns
Dyeing
If you fancy something simplistic, dye your elytra however you want in a crafting table. !Dyed elytra
Glowing
Combine an elytra with a glow ink sac in the crafting table to make it glow! !Glowing trim
Cosmic effect
An expensive endeavor, but if you're willing to part with a nether star, you can apply a unique effect to your elytra.
