How to Repair and Maintain Elytra Durability

Monitoring Durability Loss

Even when placed in the dedicated extra slot, your wings do not have infinite use. Flying continues to consume item durability just like in the base game.

1. Open your inventory screen periodically during travel.

2. Hover your cursor over the elytra in the dedicated slot to inspect its remaining durability bar.

3. Do not allow the durability to fully deplete, or the item will break into an unusable state until repaired.

Restoring Wing Durability

When your elytra becomes damaged from continuous flight, maintain it using vanilla repair methods:

• Anvil Repair: Remove the elytra from the dedicated slot. Place it into an anvil alongside phantom membranes or a second elytra to restore its durability bar.
• Mending Enchantment: If your elytra has the Mending enchantment, you can leave it equipped in the dedicated slot or hold it while gathering experience orbs from defeated mobs, mining, or smelting. The collected experience will automatically repair the wings.

Once restored, return the elytra to its dedicated back slot to continue using it alongside your chestplate.
