Preparing Elytras for Long-Distance Journeys

Evaluating Flight Readiness

Elytras are one of the best modes of transportation in the game, making long-distance travel convenient. However, continuous flight depletes durability quickly. Before taking off across large landmasses or hazardous terrain like the End void, use the mod's tooltip to confirm your gear can survive the trip.

1. Open your inventory or container where your Elytra is stored.

2. Hover your cursor over the wings to open the item tooltip.

3. Check the remaining flight duration to determine if the time left is sufficient for the distance you intend to cover.

Avoiding Mid-Air Durability Loss

Without regular maintenance, an Elytra can run out of durability in just a few minutes of flight. Depleting your wings mid-air removes your ability to soar and can result in fatal falls.

• If the tooltip indicates only a brief duration remaining, repair the wings before launching.
• If you have access to the Mending enchantment, ensure your Elytra is fully mended to maximize the displayed flight duration.
• For exceptionally long expeditions, hover over spare Elytras in your inventory to pick a reliable backup with sufficient flight time.
