No more choosing between armour and flight. Combine any chestplate with an elytra in an anvil to forge an Armored Elytra — a single chestplate-slot item that gives you both.

How to make one

  1. Put your chestplate in the left anvil slot, your elytra in the right slot.
  2. Take the Armored Elytra from the output.
  3. Equip it in your chestplate slot.

To separate them again, place the Armored Elytra in a grindstone. You get both original items back with their enchantments intact.

Notes

The Armored Elytra renders both layers visually — you'll see the chestplate armour on your body and the wings open while gliding.
