Backports 1.9.2 Elytra to 1.8.9, 1.7.10, and 1.9. Supports vanilla resource packs to override texture and sound, works with capes, has Quark-style dyeing, everything. Craftable by default, can be configured.
The 1.9 version only backports the sounds, if you want dyes and recipes see Craftable Elytra and Quark.
The 1.7.10 version doesn't support non-default Elytra textures, from either capes or player info.

On 1.7.10 it crashed in use with the mod "D-Mod". that adds just the fox and the bundle from future versions
In reply to UltralNova:
Backlytra is long since abandoned and unmaintained. It's a sloppy codebase and the 1.7 port is horrible. The D-Mod author has made a mod, Mixingasm, to work around bugs in Backlytra.
In reply to unascribed:
Thank you I forgot to look on the D-Mod page to see that sorry for the waste of time
how do you craft the elytra
In reply to khanrott:
You need 2 string, 2 paper, 2 feathers, 1 piece of leather, and an emerald.
on 1.7.10 pointing upwards using the elytra makes the player disappear and fall though the floor
Very good mod (bring back elytras on 1.7.10 + Quark's Tint Feature)

However, there is a glitch with the Aether II mod,when i have the Aether II installed, the elytra works fine but the model of the elytras wings is rendered twice.
If you are still around and updating this mod on request
It may be caused by the Aether's 2nd layer (Gloves, Rings, Accesories)
PS: If you could also add the Firework Rocket Boost feature and the ShiftClick, it would be perfect ;)
good mod but had a funny oversight. second layers on player models (especially in 1.7.10) dont change position along with the normal player

Im hoping this could be an easy fix?
Seworian, Ive been looking at this mod and its really cool, but would it be possible to make it so on servers with plugins to let older versions join, instead of elytra being leather tunic with 2 tags, it could be a elytra? Is that possible using game ids? Well get back too me, because if its possible for 1.8.9 and 1.9 i would be happy because i use 1.8.9! Talk to ya then!
This mod contains a hilariously bothersome incompatibility with Smart Moving, I fly sideways Smart Moving is set to disabled and when its set to easy normal or hard I look like I'm falling backwards when flying and forwards when using creative flight, sometimes the player doesn't fly forwards either
it crashes my server

Can you please add the "fireworks rocket gives you a boost" feature?
And I am on 1.7.10 :-)
Hello, Mr. admin I was testing your mod, and I must say it is amazing, I would just like to tell you about some features you need to mod, for example, in the current version of minecraft 1.11.2, when you are planning with the wings and You use fireworks while you plan, it allows you to fly indefinitely or until you run out of fireworks without being inport if you empty upwards you will fly infinitely, that is to say you never fall
The translation is not 100% correct Was translated with Google Translator
I don't know if you can, but would you please look at lowering the player's view point by a block when using the Elytra (1.7.10)? As it stands, the hitbox-shortening seems to work fine. However, if you go through a 1 block tall area by using the Elytra, your view is inside the block above you.
Aside from that issue, this has been a perfect re-implementation of the Elytra for 1.7.10, and that Quark feature is a nice bonus.
Hey unascribed,
Thank you for making this mod!!
Having Elytra's in 1.7.10 is so cool and it's exactly thesame!
However, I tried adding this to my server but for some reason it can't even startup. It says there was a problem with the launcher, and then it shuts down.
Is it possible you could make a hotfix for this issue for on the servers?? In a single player world the mod works just fine.
The mod works fine on servers in my testing. I don't have the time to debug a mod compatibility issue right now, sorry.
Possibly.
Could you create a deobf jar so I could create an addon for the mod?
