Elytra Expansion
- By
Cockpit HUD. Guns. Missiles. Dive bombs. Flares. Stop “gliding.” Start flying combat.
✦ What’s the deal?
Vanilla elytra is cool until you want to actually fight in the air. Elytra Expansion bolts on a full combat kit for Bedrock: craft unlock licenses, load ammo, take off, and go loud.
- Cockpit HUD — speed, altitude, heading, ammo at a glance
- Full arsenal — cannon, MG, missiles, bombs, and the big MEGA
- Dive bombing — bomb-cam + Jericho-trumpet-style siren vibes
- Flares & callsigns — break locks, name your bird
✦ The main course: dive bombing
Yeah, this pack’s personality is steep dives and loud drops. Tip the nose down, the bomb camera kicks in, and you get that Jericho trumpet energy (Stuka-flavored — not a ripped movie clip). Flip between HE / AP / carpet / incendiary / cluster / MEGA, line it up, and let go.
No copyrighted movie siren audio. Just the vibe.
✦ Toys on the hotbar
| Slot | Gear | How you use it |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Large cannon + prox flak | Right-click, one shell at a time |
| 2 | Missiles (ground salvo / track) | Sneak-tap to flip modes |
| 3–5 | Flares | Sneak-tap — break a missile lock |
| 6 | Auto-boost | Toggle · hangs around ~150 u/s (coal fuel) |
| 7 | Booster | Right-click for a kick of thrust |
| 8 | Bombs (HE/AP/carpet/inc/CL/MEGA) | Sneak-tap modes · right-click to drop |
| 9 | Machine gun | Right-click toggles spray on/off |
✦ Atmosphere stuff
- High-speed trails and near-miss flavor
- Big muzzle flash on the cannon
- Terrain / PULL UP warnings when you’re about to eat dirt
- Missile lock warning audio
- Dawn / dusk HUD tint
- Callsigns (optional takeoff shout-outs)
✦ Controls (quick)
Core loop: slap on an elytra → glide → pick a trigger → right-click (use item)
- Sneak tap — mode swap on slots 2 / 8; flares on 3–5
- Hold sneak — aim cam (dogfight / bomb run)
- Q — reload while that weapon’s selected
- Ammo & coal — auto-stock into reserves while elytra’s on
- /ee:help in-game · /ee:settings for HUD prefs
✦ Getting started
- Enable both BP and RP. One pack alone = nothing useful happens.
- Turn on Beta APIs in world experiments.
- Craft an unlock license → right-click to unlock that weapon.
- Craft ammo (or grab it) → toss it in inventory; it auto-loads into reserve.
- Take off. Shoot things. Drop things. Try not to become a crater.
- Optional: craft a Callsign Plate (name tag + paper + iron + redstone) and pick your callsign.
Creative folks: grab Creative Ammo Supply for infinite reserve.
Admin toys (cheats ON): /ee:kit · /ee:unlock_all · /ee:minigame, etc.
✦ Requirements
- Minecraft Bedrock (not Java)
- Engine ballpark: 1.21.60+
- Behavior Pack + Resource Pack together
- World experiments: Beta APIs on
✦ Quick notes
- Survival is craft-first. Cheat commands need OP + cheats enabled.
- Dive-bomb camera stays up on purpose — we don’t yank your view after every blast.
- JP/EN strings switch with your language settings.
- Blow up responsibly. Your world rules, your funeral (or theirs).
