Elytra

Elytra (pronunciation: &#91;ˈɛl ɪ trə&#93;  el -i-trə) are items that allow the player to glide.

Obtaining
Elytra are found in end cities. One pair of elytra is found within an item frame in each End ship.

Usage
Elytra are equipped in the chestplate slot.

To initiate flying, the player must jump from a height of at least four blocks. From there, direction is controlled by looking left or right, and rate of descent is controlled by looking up or down. Looking upwards while gliding temporarily increases the player's altitude, however doing this for too long stalls the player (indicated by the player moving their limbs). The player will not take fall damage while the elytra are equipped unless the player is in a nose-dive (caused by looking straight down in midair), and then fall damage will be a result of the distance fallen during the nose-dive.

Landing or taking damage while elytra are equipped deals one point of durability damage. Elytra have 431 uses, however this can be increased by enchanting them with the Unbreaking enchantment using an anvil. They may be repaired with leather in an anvil.

After a pair of elytra's uses are all spent, they will no longer work unless they are repaired. These “broken” elytra have a different, tattered texture as an item, though they do not appear differently on the player. They require 5 leather to fully repair. Broken elytra will remain at a durability of 1, because they cannot lose more durability.
