Description from the author on Modrinth

Elytra Dye

Mod

It's an Elytra Dye Mod. Dye your Elytras like Leather Armor, cut them in half with Shears, dye both Wings separately and put them back together for Two-Tone Elytras.

Available for Fabric, NeoForge and Forge

Features:

  • Dyeable Elytras (Dyes can be mixed, just like on Leather Armor)
  • Split Elytras with Shears into a Left Wing and a Right Wing
  • Dye each Wing separately
  • Join both Wings again for a Two-Tone Elytra
  • Colors are visible while wearing and flying, and on the Item-Icon in your Inventory
  • Tooltip shows the Color of each Wing (Hex-Code)
  • Enchantments, Durability and Custom Name are kept when splitting and joining (no Enchantment-Duplication)
  • Undyed Wings keep the normal Elytra look (Capes are only shown on undyed Wings)
  • Wash the Dye off in a Cauldron, just like Leather Armor (26.1 and newer)
  • Wings can be found in the Creative-Tab "Tools & Utilities"
  • No Commands, no Config, everything works with the normal Crafting Table

How to use:
