How to Customize the Elytra Crafting Recipe

The data pack features a customizable crafting recipe, allowing world owners to adjust which materials are required to maintain whatever balance fits their playstyle.

Accessing the Recipe File

Because data packs use standard file structures, you can edit the recipe definition directly:

1. Navigate to your world's datapacks directory.

2. Open the Craftable Elytras pack folder (or extract the archive if it is compressed).

3. Browse into the data folder, find the recipes directory, and locate the crafting JSON file responsible for the elytra.

4. Open the recipe file with any plain text or code editor.

Modifying Ingredients and Reloading

You can change the required components or adjust the crafting pattern:

1. Edit the ingredient identifiers in the file to swap out items for whatever materials you consider fair.

2. Save your changes and close the editor.

3. Return to your running Minecraft game and type /reload in the chat.

4. Test the changes by placing the newly defined materials into a crafting table to verify that the elytra appears in the output slot.
