This mod adds a casual way to obtain Elytras without waiting for the Endgame. The Lesser Elytra has a durability of 150 (compared to Elytra's 400+), is irrepairable, and cannot be enchanted at an anvil if the book has Mending on it. This means the only way to enchant it is Unbreaking I, II, or III. If you run out of durability in flight, the item will break like a sword or piece of armor would - no broken-but-repairable state.
Worldmodels are the same as normal elytra, item icon is a modified version of the normal elytra, for easy noticing in your inventory.
You will gain the recipe upon picking up a Phantom Membrane.
