How to Disassemble an Armored Elytra Using a Grindstone

Reclaiming Your Original Equipment

If you want to swap your elytra onto a different tier of armor or simply need your original items back, you can dismantle the combined set.

1. Place or locate a grindstone.

2. Right-click the grindstone to open its interface.

3. Insert your armored elytra into the workstation slot.

4. Take the separated items out of the output.

Managing Separated Items

Disassembling an armored elytra set cleanly splits it back into your original chestplate and your elytra. Neither component is consumed permanently during this process, allowing you to reconfigure your gear whenever you find new armor or change your loadout.
