Firework rockets can be used to increase speed. Losing altitude increases speed, and gaining altitude decreases speed. The player can aim their view around to turn or adjust their pitch. To fly, the player must press the jump key while falling, and the elytra spread apart like a beetle's elytra. They maintain their in-world texture design even when they're broken or enchanted. They are gray in color by default, but they adopt the design of any cape the player is wearing. Unenchanted elytra cannot be used on the grindstone alone.Įlytra are equipped in the chestplate slot, either by placing the item directly in the slot, by pressing use item while held in hand, or by firing a point-blank dispenser at a target. However, the prior work penalty can be reset to 0 for an enchanted elytra pair when it is disenchanted on a grindstone.
Each repair on the anvil, however, also increases the prior work penalty for the Elytra, making every subsequent repair increasingly expensive and eventually reaching an upper limit where repairs are no longer allowed because they are 'too expensive' (even if the player has many xp levels to spare).
