Elytra not an Armor is a simple addon that allows players to use elytra in the back accessories slot using Novelty addon.
Note
Please note that this addon does not use Minecraft flight mechanics; it only simulates the flight physics to make it look like using elytra. It doesn't same with the basic flight mechanic, but it's similar with some differences.
For Developer
Using this addon as dependencies for your addons can make developers create custom elytra by defining custom tags in the item tags component called "flight:enable_flight" or using a custom scriptevent command to add a player custom tag to trigger flight, or registeringa custom chestplate item to the world but it only registered on the memory so you should registering at the first world loaded or using tick function commands but I doesn't recommended it
Example code:
using item tags component
so the tags you should add is "flight:enable_flight" to make it like elytra
