About this project
What does Elytra Wind Trails add?
Elytra flight in vanilla looks the same whether you’re drifting or rocketing at full speed. Elytra Wind adds visible effects that show how fast you’re going.
What it does
- Wind trails: a smooth, continuous white trail streams off each wingtip when you boost with fireworks or glide fast. The trails fade in as you speed up and fade out as you slow down.
- Trails follow the wings: the trails stay attached to the wingtips as your wings spread and fold.
- Wing ruffle: when you put on an elytra, the wings flutter for a moment and then settle. You can see it in F5, in your inventory preview and on other players.
- First-person streaks: your wingtips aren’t on screen in first person, so wind streaks rush past the sides of your screen when you’re moving fast.
- Other players: players around you get trails too.
What it fixes
- Elytra flight feeling flat, with no sense of speed
- Not being able to tell at a glance when someone is boosting
- Elytra snapping onto your back with no animation
Customizable
Change any of these in config/elytrawind.properties:
- trail length, thickness and opacity
- how fast you need to go before trails appear
- fade-in and fade-out speed
- ruffle strength
- whether to show trails on other players and the first-person streaks
Compatibility
- Minecraft 26.1 to 26.3, Fabric Loader 0.18 or newer
- No Fabric API needed
- Client-side only, so it works on any server and nobody else needs it installed
- Works with Lunar Client’s Fabric mod support
