How to Apply Armor Trims to an Elytra

Trimming Wings in the Smithing Table

You can customize your elytra with armor trims using the same process as standard armor pieces. This allows you to apply vanilla trim patterns or custom styles directly to your flight gear.

1. Interact with a standard smithing table to open its interface.

2. Place your armor trim template into the leftmost slot.

3. Place your elytra into the center equipment slot.

4. Place your desired trim material into the right slot. Materials such as gold or amethyst change the accent color and appearance of the trim pattern.

5. Take the finished elytra from the output slot.

Custom Styles and Display

The resulting trimmed elytra retains full flight functionality while displaying your selected pattern across both wings. You can immediately equip the wings to your chest slot to show them off in third-person view, or place them onto an armor stand to showcase different pattern and material combinations in your base.
