Elytra (pronunciation: [ˈɛl ɪ trə] el-i-trə)[1] are items that allow the player to glide.

They look grey with a tint of blue, unless the player is wearing a cape, then the elytra will reflect off the cape.

Obtaining

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

Usage

Flight

You look like a giant poo eating asian indian curry when you fly with these awful wings.

To initiate flying, the player must jump in midair. From there, direction is controlled by looking left or right, and the flying speed 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, causing it to descend at a faster rate (indicated by the player moving their limbs).

Elytra allow the player to travel 10 blocks horizontally for each block fallen when flying at a constant 0° pitch, not including the initial fall, resulting in a best constant glide angle of about 5.7°. The maximum flight time is obtained with a pitch of about 14° up. The maximum terminal horizontal velocity is approximately 67.5 m/s and is obtained with a pitch of about 52° down.[2]

Durability decreases by one point each second when flying. Elytra have 431 durability, resulting in 7 minutes and 11 seconds of flight. It is possible to apply the Unbreaking enchantment using an anvil and an enchanted book, which affects the Elytra in the same way that enchantment affects tools.

The player will not take fall damage while the elytra are equipped unless hitting the ground at an excessive rate of descent, which can be caused by nose-diving or stalling. Fall damage will then be a result of the height fallen during the nose-dive or stall.

A player gliding with elytra will have a shorter hitbox, 0.6 blocks in height rather than the usual 1.8 blocks.

Repair

Elytra when broken

When durability reaches 1, elytra will no longer work until they are repaired, and cannot lose more durability. These “broken” elytra have a different, tattered item texture, though they do not appear differently on the player. They may be repaired either by crafting two together or in an anvil, using leather: each piece of leather will repair the elytra by 108 durability, therefore requiring 4 leather to fully repair.

'''Apples''' are [[food]] items that can be eaten by the [[player]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Block loot ===

Oak and dark oak [[leaves]] have 0.5% ({{frac|1|200}}) chance of dropping an apple when decayed or broken, but not if burned. Breaking leaves with a [[tool]] enchanted with the [[Fortune]] enchantment increases the chances of dropping an apple: 0.556% ({{frac|1|180}}) with Fortune I, 0.625% ({{frac|1|160}}) with Fortune II, and 0.833% ({{frac|1|120}}) with Fortune III.

=== Chest loot ===

{{LootChestItem|apple}}

=== Trading ===

Apprentice-level [[Trading#Farmer|farmer]] [[Villager|villagers]] have a 50% ({{frac|1|2}}){{only|bedrock}} or 66.7% ({{frac|2|3}}){{only|java}} chance of selling 4 apples as part of their trades.

== Usage ==
{{see also|Tutorials/Hunger management|title1=Hunger management}}

To eat an apple, press and hold {{control|use}} while it is selected in the hotbar. Eating one restores {{hunger|4}} [[hunger]] and 2.4 [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]].

=== Crafting ingredient ===
{{crafting usage}}

=== Composting ===
Placing an apple into a [[composter]] has a 65% ({{frac|13|20}}) chance of raising the compost level by 1.

'''String''' is an item used in [[crafting]] recipes such as [[bow]]s, [[fishing rod]]s and [[lead]]s. When placed as a [[block]], string becomes '''tripwire''', which can be combined with [[Tripwire Hook|tripwire hooks]] to form a tripwire circuit.

== Obtaining==
String can be obtained from [[drop]]s, breaking [[cobweb]]s, [[fishing]], [[bartering]], and as gifts from [[cat]]s. String can be looted from [[jungle temple]]s, [[desert pyramid]] chests, and [[dungeon]]s.

===Breaking ===
Tripwire can be {{control|mine|text=mined}} instantly with any [[tool]], dropping string. Tripwire is also removed and drops string as an [[item]] when:
*[[Water]] flows into its space
* A [[piston]] pushes it or moves a [[block]] into its space
Tripwire is destroyed without dropping string if [[lava]] flows into its space.

A [[cobweb]] drops string when it is broken in these ways (see also {{section link|Cobweb|Usage}}):
*Breaking a cobweb with a [[sword]]
*Pushing a cobweb with a [[piston]]
*[[Water]] breaking a cobweb by flowing over it (flowing [[lava]] destroys cobwebs without leaving string)

===Natural generation===
Five pieces of tripwire generate naturally in every [[jungle temple]]. 

===Mob loot ===
[[Spider]]s and [[cave spider]]s drop 0–2 string upon death. The maximum is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 0–5 string with Looting III.

[[Strider]]s drop 2–5 string upon death. The maximum is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 2–8 string with Looting III.{{only|Java|short=1}}

[[Cat]]s drop 0–2 string upon death, unaffected by Looting.<ref>{{bug|MC-200707||Looting does not increase drops for iron golems and cats}}</ref>

===Chest loot===
{{LootChestItem|string}}

===Fishing===
String has a 0.6% ({{frac|3|500}}) chance of being caught when [[fishing]] with an unenchanted fishing rod. The chance decreases to 0.5% ({{frac|1|200}}), 0.4% ({{frac|1|250}}), and 0.3% ({{frac|3|1000}}) if the fishing rod is enchanted with [[Luck of the Sea]] at enchantment levels I, II, and III, respectively.

===Cat gifts===
{{main|Cat#Gifts}}

Tamed [[cat]]s have a 70% chance of giving the [[player]] a gift when they wake up from a [[bed]], and the gift has a 16.13% chance to be a string.

===Bartering ===
[[Piglin]]s may [[barter]] 3-9 string when given a [[gold ingot]].

== Usage==
String can be used as a crafting ingredient and tripwire can be used as a [[redstone circuit]] component. It can also be used to keep [[player]]s from ender-pearling through that space.

=== Crafting ingredient===
{{crafting usage}}

===Redstone component===
{{redirect|Tripwire|tripwire hooks|Tripwire Hook}}
{{see also|Redstone circuits}}

String can be placed as tripwire, which can be used to detect [[entity|entities]] as part of a tripwire circuit. [[Observer]]s can also be used with a tripwire to generate redstone signals. 

;Placement

To place tripwire, {{control|use}} string while pointing at a surface facing the space the tripwire should occupy.

{{Schematic | caption =
'''Tripwire Circuit'''
|SB|th-$w|tw-$ew|th-$e|SB
}}
:In order to activate [[tripwire hook]]s, tripwire must be part of a "tripwire circuit": a straight line of [[block]]s consisting of a block with a tripwire hook attached to it, a "tripwire line" (1 to 40 blocks of tripwire), and a second tripwire hook attached to another block. 

;Activation
Tripwire activates if almost any [[entity]] ([[player]]s, [[mob]]s, [[minecart]]s, [[boat]]s, [[item]]s, [[arrow]]s, etc.) intersects its collision mask. The tripwire remains active until there are no entities intersecting its collision mask. Thrown [[potion]]s, some arrows, thrown [[ender pearl]]s, and thrown [[eyes of ender]] do not activate tripwire.

;Behavior
An active tripwire updates adjacent [[block]]s (for example, it can activate a [[Tutorials/Block update detector|BUD circuit]]). Additionally, active tripwires that are part of valid tripwire circuits cause the attached tripwire hooks to activate (producing [[redstone]] power). Active tripwires do ''not'' themselves produce redstone power.

When tripwire is broken (including by being washed away by spreading [[water]] {{in|java}}) after being part of a valid tripwire circuit, it activates the attached tripwire hooks for 5 redstone ticks (10 game [[tick]]s, or 0.5 seconds barring lag). It does not produce the signal if it is broken using [[shear]]s.

===Trading===
Novice-level fisherman [[villager]]s have a 50% chance to buy 20 string as part of their first-tier trade.

Journeyman-level fletcher villagers buy 14 string for 1 [[emerald]] as part of their trade.

Trivia

  • In real life, elytra are the tough forewings of beetles and earwigs that cover the wings they actually use for flight. Elytra are not actually used for flight in real life.
  • Protection, Fire Protection, Blast Protection, and Projectile Protection enchantments work on Elytra. However, there is no way to apply these enchantments to Elytra in Survival Mode.
