How to Use the Elytra in Minecraft
Last updated
Ever wondered how to soar through the skies of your Minecraft world? Let’s dive into how you can use the Elytra in Minecraft, making your adventures more thrilling.
Curious about gliding over your majestic creations or the vast landscapes in Minecraft? The Elytra wings are your ticket to the skies.
Getting Started with Elytra
The Elytra is a special item that lets players glide through the air in Minecraft. You’ll find this treasure in the End City, a place you reach after defeating the Ender Dragon. Remember, it’s nestled in the End Ship, a structure floating a little away from the main city.
Once you’ve got your hands on the Elytra, equip it in your chestplate slot. Now, you’re just a jump away from gliding! However, remember that the Elytra doesn’t allow for true flight on its own – it’s more about stylish gliding from higher to lower grounds.
Mastering the Skies with Elytra
Launching yourself is easy: find a high spot, jump off, and press the jump button again mid-air. You’re now gliding! The control is intuitive – look in the direction you want to glide towards. Want to soar upwards? Use fireworks! Just hold them in your hand and right-click while gliding. Be careful, though, as misjudging your landing can lead to a crash.
Customizing your Elytra with enchantments like Unbreaking or Mending can make it last longer, ensuring many more exhilarating flights across your Minecraft world.
