About this Mod
Do you absolutly hate Elytra's on your server? Elytra Eraser is here to help. This data pack brings an essential balance change making Elytra's useless.
Erasing Elytra's creates a more enjoyable experience for everyone, as they allow players to use different modes of transportation rather than the elytra. Additionally, this makes The End a more challenging place to navigate for experienced players.
Key Features
- Erasing Elytra's: All naturally spawning Elytra's get replaced with an unbreakable leather chestplate so you can still flex to your friends.
- Admin Workarounds: This data pack doesn't directly remove Elytra's, just prevents Elytra's from being placed inside item frames, as they naturally spawn. So if you still wanted an Elytra, you could still use
/giveor get one from the Creative Menu.
