How to Equip an Elytra Alongside Your Chestplate

Accessing the Dedicated Slot

In standard gameplay, wearing an elytra requires giving up your chestplate armor slot. With the mod installed, open your player inventory by pressing your inventory key (default E). Look at your player model's equipment section. Beside your standard armor slots (helmet, chestplate, leggings, and boots), you will find an extra dedicated back slot intended specifically for your wings.

Equipping Both Gear Pieces

1. Place your preferred chestplate (such as iron, diamond, or netherite) directly into the standard chest armor slot.

2. Pick up your elytra and place it into the newly added slot next to your armor.

3. Close your inventory.

Your character now wears both items at the same time. The full protection and defense rating of your chestplate remains completely active, while your elytra sits equipped and ready for flight without taking up any of your main hotbar or inventory spaces.
