Use Elytra as a Permanent Chest Armor Without Restrictions

Wearing Elytra Full-Time

This mod removes the underwater penalty of equipping elytra, making it viable to wear permanently without losing swim functionality.

Full-Time Elytra Setup

1. Equip your elytra in the chestplate slot

2. Keep it equipped while exploring, mining, or traveling

3. Swim in water normally when needed—no deployment occurs

4. Jump and deploy in air whenever you need to glide

5. Never unequip it unless you need a different chestplate

Practical Benefits

• Always ready for aerial escape or quick travel
• No inventory slot wasted carrying elytra separately
• Smooth transitions between ground, water, and air exploration
• Ideal for survival mode where mobility is valuable

Considerations

• You sacrifice the protection of a regular chestplate
• Elytra durability still decreases with use
• Repair your elytra at an anvil when needed
• This playstyle works best with good durability management
