Features

Trims

Trims can be applied to elytras similar to the armor. By default, the mod provides textures for a all vanilla trims, and some custom ones!
Note: on 1.20 and 1.21 you may need to install Elytra Trims Extensions for trim compat.
A few trims

Additionally, you can replace the trim pattern in the recipe with a trial key to get access to even more elytras.
Note: this feature is currently only available on 1.21.10 and newer.
All the trims

Banner patterns

Banners can be applied to elytras to show the patterns. In the smithing table, combining elytra with a banner and either paper or leather will transfer banner or shield patterns respectively.
Note: the patterns are applied without the base - you need to dye the elytra to add it.

If it's a trim provided by a mod or a datapack, it will need custom textures for the elytra. Please make a trim request, but be patient, as it takes creative work to make good trim designs.

If it's a non-vanilla elytra, it may need explicit support from Elytra Trims. In this or other cases, please make an issue report.
