Grindy Elytras
A mod that makes Elytras harder to obtain.
Quick answer
Which Grindy Elytras release should I use?
Grindy Elytras 1.1.0-1.21.2 targets 1.21.2, 1.21.3, 1.21.4 with Fabric. Installation on the client is optional. Installation on the dedicated server is optional. 1 required mod needs a matching file.
Where it goes
Is Grindy Elytras required on the client, server, or both?
Installation on the client is optional. Installation on the dedicated server is optional.
The source marks this as usable on both the client and server.
What else does Grindy Elytras 1.1.0-1.21.2 need?
1.1.0-1.21.2. Change the file and its required mods may change too.
Install Fabric API first, but 1 required mod has no matching file for this setup. Do not mix loader builds to force a match.
We only count dependency files that match this setup. A file for another loader does not fill the gap.

🔎 F.A.Q
- Q: Does this mod affect already generated End Cities?
- A: It does not. This mod only applies to the End Cities which is generated after it's installed.
- Q: Does it work with mods or datapacks that changes End Cities or End Ships?
- A: Yes. It does.
- Q: Does it work on Forge with Connector?
- A: Yes. It does.
- Q: Can you port it above 1.21.5?
- A: No, use Harder Elytras instead. This mod is not a replacement, it's my interpretation of it for older versions.

Credits:
This mod was inspired by the Harder Elytras mod, since only datapack version of it supported 1.20.1 and it was very destructive, I decided to make my own interpretation of it.
Elytra Fragment texture is made by Shizotoaster
And thanks to Cassian for helping out on how to code this.
