How to Add Glowing Trims and the Cosmic Effect

Creating Glowing Trim Patterns

Trim designs can be made to stand out during night flights or inside dark caves by giving them an illumination effect.

1. Obtain a glow ink sac from a glow squid.

2. Combine your trimmed elytra with the glow ink sac.

3. Retrieve your modified elytra.

Your applied trim patterns will now glow vibrantly in dark areas, making your patterns clearly readable even with low ambient lighting.

Applying the Rare Cosmic Effect

For an advanced visual upgrade beyond standard dyes and trims, you can apply a special cosmic effect to your wings.

1. Acquire a nether star by defeating the Wither.

2. Combine the nether star with your elytra.

3. Collect your upgraded wings.

This gives your elytra a rare and unique cosmic appearance across the entire wing surface. You can also experiment with other items to search for hidden Easter egg recipes and interactions scattered throughout the mod.
