About the mod

This mod adds armored elytra to the game.

Splitting

You can split the armored elytra in the grindstone to get back your original items.

Server side

All logic is handled on the server, client side install is only required for item icon and player model rendering.

Client side rendering

Player model

If installed on client side both the elytra and the chestplate is visible.

Inventory
Thirdperson
Armor stand

Custom item icons

Armor type, trim color and leather color icons with elytra at the back.

Custom icons are visible for players who have the mod installed on the client.

Custom icons

Resourcepacks

The mod no longer uses a custom resourcepack for the combined item icons. It modifies to the code to actually render the two items on top of each other with a slight vertical offset. Any custom texture pack is supported, but might not totally correct depending on the item icons. (Any size x16, x32, etc...)

The previous resourcepack Armored-Elytra-Icons-v1.14.0.zip will continue to work for default minecraft armors for players who do not install the mod on their client, but play on servers that use this mod. (Might drop support in the future, as a server owner please recommend installing the mod for players if possible.)
