Checking Remaining Flight Time on an Elytra
Accessing the Item Tooltip
Vanilla Minecraft displays the raw remaining durability points of an Elytra, but translating those numbers into actual flight minutes is difficult. With Elytra Time Mod installed, you can check your exact remaining flight duration directly inside your inventory interface.
1. Open your player inventory screen.
2. Locate your Elytra, whether it is sitting in your regular storage slots or equipped directly into your chestplate armor slot.
3. Move your mouse cursor over the Elytra icon to prompt the information box to appear.
Reading the Flight Duration
When the hover tooltip appears, look past the standard item information to see the new time readout provided by the mod.
- The tooltip explicitly displays the remaining flight duration of that specific Elytra.
- This readout indicates how much active gliding time remains before the wings run out of durability.
- If you use the Elytra to soar through the sky, hovering over it again afterward will show an updated, reduced flight time.
Checking this tooltip eliminates the guesswork of calculating raw durability points and lets you determine the exact lifespan of your wings at a glance.
