FAQ
Is this mod compatible with banners added from other mods?
Not currently, though this is planned for a future release!
Will my enchantments/custom name stay if I customize my elytra?
Yes, any changes you made to your elytra will be preserved if you customize it.
How do I remove the customization?
You can undo your most recent elytra customization by washing it off with a cauldron (or in the case of the banner customization, wash off one layer at a time), or wash only one elytra wing at a time by shifting (the side washed is determined by the hand the elytra is in!). Alternatively you can remove all the customizations by putting the elytra in a crafting table with a water bucket.
