Overview
This project is for the Forge mod loader. To see its counterpart for the Fabric mod loader, please go here.
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.
Confused on how to change the modes how does that work?
Is it compatible with "Gilded netherite" mod on 1.18.2?
Hi! I have caelus API installed and its crashing on startup.. Says somethings missing. On 1.19..
In reply to uncultured_dragon:
+1 same here
Hey there.. Found a mod called "Better Flight (Forge)" and I was wondering if the flight mechanics from that mod also worked even with the elytra bound to a chestplate?
It crushes
1.19 please
Can u make it compatible with Slimelytra from Tinkers' Construct mod?
Will the 1.19 port take too much time?
will you port it on 1.19?
cant we simply have the ability to move the elytra to the slot of the chestplate to make it work client sided?
Is there going to be an 1.18.2 version?
In reply to froz11_utd:
The 1.18.1 version works on 1.18.2.
Can I use this mod in a modpack for forge?
Hi is there a command I can use to add the elytra to the chestplate? I use a modpack where we can find chest plates in loot chest but can't craft them and this stops the mod from being able to be crafted with this particular chestplate
Thank you so much ive wanted this for so long i was thinking to make my own mod about this but you already did it thank you
