Overview
Colytra is a mod that adds the ability to attach an elytra to any chestplate you want, allowing you to reap the benefits of having an elytra without sacrificing the ability to wear your cool-looking armor. Caelus API is a required dependency for versions on Minecraft 1.13.2+.
Elytra Attachment
To attach an elytra to a chestplate, you just have to place them both in a crafting grid. The output will be the chestplate with a tooltip showing that an elytra has been attached to it.
The colytra has three separate modes depending on the configuration option select:
- Normal: The chestplate and elytra exist separately. They each retain their own enchantments and flight will drain the elytra's durability as normal. The elytra component can be repaired using Phantom Membrane in the anvil as normal, along with the approrpriate prior work penalties. Separation is possible by placing the colytra in a crafting grid again.
- Unison: The chestplate and elytra will fuse together and act as one. All enchantments from the elytra will be merged into the chestplate. Flight will drain the chestplate's durability/energy. Separation is not possible.
- Perfect: Same as Unison mode, except that flight will not drain any durability/energy.
1.12.2 Overview:
Colytra is a mod that adds the ability to attach an elytra to any chestplate you want, allowing you to reap the benefits of having an elytra without sacrificing the ability to wear your cool-looking armor. This mod also includes a bauble version of the regular elytra, allowing you to use it as a body bauble when you have Baubles installed alongside it. Also wondering about Quark's dyable elytras? No worries, they're completely compatible!
Features
Attaching Elytra to Chestplate
To attach an elytra to a chestplate, you'll need an anvil. Simply place the chestplate you want to install it on in the left slot and the elytra you want to install in the right slot, and, at the flat fee of 30 levels, bingo! You've got a chestplate with the power of an elytra! A colytra, if you will! Stupid name? Probably!
Some notes about the colytra:
- This fusion is permanent; there is no way to separate them once the process is completed.
- Prior work penalties for both the elytra and the chestplate will be combined into the new colytra, so be wary of using components that have been worked on multiple times already.
- The elytra and chestplate components function as two separate items in terms of durability and repair. Their durabilities are separate and you can repair each component separately using their respective repair methods. Do note, however, that them being on the same item means that work penalties will apply to either of them cumulatively.
- Enchantments from either component will be combined into the new colytra. Unbreaking and Mending work as usual for both the chestplate and elytra components.
- There is a keybinding to toggle the elytra component on/off for the colytra. This will disable all elytra features and basically act just like the regular chestplate.
- The elytra component will, as usual, be disabled when durability drops to 1. It will never destroy itself. However, the chestplate is under no such restriction. If the chestplate gets destroyed, the elytra component will be destroyed as well.
Configuration Options:
Permission Mode - Set how to manage which chestplates can be attached with an elytra ("Blacklist" or "Whitelist")
Item List - A list of items to be either blacklisted/whitelisted
Colytra Durability Mode - How to handle durability of elytras on chestplates
- Normal - Elytras on chestplates will have a separate durability
- Infinite - Elytras on chestplates will not use any durability
- Chestplate - Elytras on chestplates will use the chestplate's durability or energy, whichever is applicable. It will not have its own separate durability.
Disable Bauble - When Baubles is installed, set to false to disable the elytra bauble
Elytra Bauble
If you have Baubles installed, there will be a new elytra body bauble for you to use. The recipe is simply a regular elytra! You can craft them both back and forth at no cost.
I'm surprised that the mod was just uploaded 3 hours ago for 1.14.4
I really love this mod, great for defense and quick flying escape against enemies or just having cosmetic wings
Edit: Suggestion, The way how this mod works on the Elytra, maybe the system could work for other modded items (even though it doesn't fit the mod name) like the jet packs from Simply Jetpacks 2, the vampire cloaks from Vampirism or Brad16840's backpacks. They overlay the armor while it works normally from the mods. Not saying it can be in the mod, rather an add on maybe? Just a suggestion.
I'm curious (or should I say... Curios... okay terrible pun)- does the 1.14.4 version retain the "Bauble Elytra" feature through Curios API? I feel like that would make sense, especially given its your own API, but it isn't mentioned in the 1.14.4 Overview section and Curios isn't even listed as an Optional Dependency. Is this planned? I've always found the merging of Chestplate and Elytra to be clunkier than it having its own slot (also not sure how well it works with any modded chestplates, if at all, since I always opted for the Bauble).

Curious Elytra
will it has a fabric edition?
In reply to 13544wak:
Maybe one day, but no plans for a Fabric version at this time.
Any chance you could make for fabric? This is my favorite mod, but forge gives me half of the fps as fabric does :(
In reply to j_nikolay:
I'm open to the idea, but it's a really low priority right now.
How does the "separating colytra from chestplates" config work?
In reply to Plasmascythe:
Will the chestplate be destroyed?
In reply to Plasmascythe:

In reply to that_god_420:
What's the error message?
This mod is preventing Forge from loading mods properly.

In reply to carinyc:
You'll have to be more specific. What's the error? Any logs?
In reply to TheIllusiveC4:
nevermind it appears to be a forge issue
couldn't find out where the config is - 1.14.4's latest version doesn't allow me to check in the 'mods' section in game, and I couldn't find any file in the config folder named 'colytra'
In reply to spectralinfinity:
There's another config folder in your world save folder called "serverconfig". Look in there.
Many thanks!
That crafting recipe doesn't exist for me in 1.12.2
