Last updated
Ever wondered how you can soar through the Minecraft skies? Well, here’s all you need to know about using Elytra, your ticket to aerial adventures in Minecraft!
So, how exactly do you use Elytra in Minecraft? Let’s dive right into it and find out.
The Quick Guide to Using Elytra
Elytra are special wings that let you glide through the air in Minecraft. First things first, you need to find them. Elytra are located in the End City, a place you get to after defeating the Ender Dragon. Once you have them, just pop them into your chestplate slot, climb to a high place, jump off, and press the jump button again in mid-air to start gliding!
While gliding, you can control your direction by looking up or down and to the sides. Just remember, looking down will make you speed up and lose altitude, while looking up slows you down and helps you gain altitude. That’s pretty much it. With practice, you’ll be flying around like a pro!

Plus, it’s not just about getting from point A to point B; it’s an adventure every time you take to the skies. Elytra adds a whole new layer of fun to the game.
