In the vast world of Minecraft, travel takes many forms, but none quite as exhilarating as gliding through the air with Elytra. These rare wings unlock a whole new dimension of exploration, allowing for rapid long-distance travel and impressive aerial maneuvers. This guide covers everything you need to know about obtaining, using, repairing, and upgrading your Elytra in all Minecraft game modes.

Elytra are unique, rare items allowing players to glide. They significantly enhance exploration efficiency, especially when combined with fireworks. In their folded state, they resemble a cloak; unfolded, they’re magnificent wings. They are naturally found only in the End after defeating the Ender Dragon, located within ships near End Cities. However, alternative methods exist for acquiring them in different game modes, detailed below.
Before venturing to the End, thorough preparation is crucial. Diamond or Netherite armor, ideally enchanted for protection, is essential. A well-enchanted sword and bow (consider Infinity or Power for the bow) are vital for combat. Stock up on plenty of arrows or a crossbow with fireworks for ranged attacks. Potions of regeneration, strength, and slow falling provide significant advantages. Golden apples offer crucial emergency healing, and blocks are needed to reach End Crystals. A carved pumpkin protects against Endermen aggression.
Activating the End portal requires 12 Eyes of Ender. Each Eye requires Blaze Powder (from Blaze Rods dropped by Blazes in Nether Fortresses) and an Ender Pearl (dropped by Endermen). Crafting an Eye of Ender is straightforward (see image below).
Use Eyes of Ender to locate the Stronghold. Throw an Eye; it will fly towards the Stronghold, indicating its direction. Once located, navigate the Stronghold's perilous underground passages. Find the End portal room and place Eyes of Ender in the frame to activate the portal.
Defeat the Ender Dragon by first destroying the End Crystals (using a bow or melee combat). Then focus on the dragon itself. After its defeat, a portal to the End gateway appears. Throw an Ender Pearl into it to teleport.
Locate the End City's ships. These are guarded by Shulkers; defeat them first. Inside the ship, break the Item Frame containing the Elytra.
In Creative Mode, simply open your inventory, search for "Elytra," and drag it into your inventory.
