Elytra Ban

Takes elytras out of the game on your Fabric server. Nobody can glide, and any elytra that turns up is deleted. It's server-side only, so players can join with a vanilla client.

What it does

• No gliding: nobody can glide, players or mobs, whatever they're wearing.
• Elytras are removed from player inventories (armor and offhand slots included), ender chests, the item held on the cursor and any container a player opens, like chests, shulker boxes and anvils. A message above the hotbar says why.
• Everywhere else too: dropped elytras vanish, mobs and armor stands lose theirs, and item frames are emptied, including the ones on End ships.
• Elytras already in the world before you installed the mod are removed as they're found.

Good to know

• Removed elytras are gone for good, so tell your players before you install it.
• There's no config and there are no commands. Operators and creative mode aren't exempt.
• Elytras in containers nobody opens stay there until someone opens them. Ones inside shulker boxes or bundles carried as items are removed once they're taken out.

Compatibility

• Works alongside my other server mods, Lifeline / Half-Hardcore and Chunk Claims.
• Gliding is turned off for everything, so gliding items added by other mods stop working too.

Requirements

Minecraft 26.3 with Fabric Loader, on the server only. Players don't need to install anything, and Fabric API isn't required.

AI Notice

This entire mod was made with Claude Code AI, so there may still be some issues. Let me know in the comments. (This description was also made with Claude, I have gone through it making sure everything is correct.)
