FAQ
How do I get elytra?
Travel to an End city on the outer End islands, find the End ship, and take the elytra from the item frame in its treasure room. They cannot be crafted.
How do I fly with elytra?
Equip them in the chest slot, jump off a high point, and press jump again while falling to start gliding. Use firework rockets to gain speed and altitude for long flights.
How do I repair elytra?
Repair them in an anvil with phantom membranes (each restores part of the durability) or by combining two damaged elytra. The Mending enchantment repairs them automatically with XP.
Do elytra provide armor protection?
No. Elytra occupy the chestplate slot but give no defense, so you trade armor protection for the ability to fly.
