🔧 About

This is a datapack made to make it more difficult to obtain Elytras.

Why?

I think many of us would agree that the Elytra is pretty OP, and they're quite easy to obtain once you get good at the game. You just have to beat the Ender Dragon (which isn't that hard), and then just run around and suddenly you have an Elytra!

For some people this is too easy, and for me this meant that me and my friends had an Elytra Within the first day that we opened our world. So i decided to fix it!

How?

The way i made it more difficult to obtain Elytras was, first of all, there is a bit harder recipe for Eyes of Ender, this doesn't do that much, but it slows the process of getting to the end a bit.

Then i made the Elytras you find in End Ships not work and called "Elytra Core". You need this Elytra Core to craft an Elytra. The other things you need is 1 Diamond, 6 Feathers and 1 Beacon (You can see the recipe for both the Elytra and the Eyes of Ender in Gallery, you can also change these recipes)

⚒️ Other info

Resourcepack

Without the Resourcepack, the Elytra Core will look like a Knowledge Book.

If you are planning to use this on a server, i recommend using this as the server Resourcepack or put the resources from this into your custom Resourcepack.

Changing the Recipes

To change the recipe for the Eye of Ender you first need to go to wherever you have the datapack and open the datapack then data > minecraft > recipes here there should be a file named ender_eye.json you can change this with the recipe you want, but the file with the new recipe have to be named the exact same.

To change the recipe for the Elytra you also need to go to wherever the datapack is and open it, then you go to data > harder_elytras > recipes there should be a file named elytra.json there. You can change the recipe like the Eye of Ender, it has to be named elytra.json or else it will not work. Note that where you want the Elytra Core to be, you need to put a Knowledge book.

For changing the recipe i recommend using TheDestruc7i0n's crafting recipe generator.

⚙️ Issues

• If you right click an Elytra Core twice in the same slot it will look like it has disappeared, but if you interact with the slot it was in it will come back (this is a minecraft bug, so i can't fix it)

• In the recipe book it will show that you need a Knowledge book in the middle instead of an Elytra Core

• Every Elytra and Knowledge book in an item frame when this is first installed will become an Elytra core, this won't happen after it's installed, you can safely update the pack or minecraft without this happening.
