ElytraFusion
The ultimate "Late-Game" flight & protection solution.

ElytraFusion solves the age-old Minecraft dilemma: "Do I wear my armor for protection, or my Elytra for mobility?" Now, you can have both.

This plugin allows players to infuse any tier of Chestplate directly into an Elytra using a Smithing Table. The result is a high-performance flight-wear item that retains full defensive stats without sacrificing your ability to soar.

Key Features

• All Material Tiers – Support for Leather, Copper, Chainmail, Gold, Iron, Diamond, and Netherite infusions. Each tier can be enabled/disabled individually.
• Native Smithing – Crafting uses the 1.20+ Smithing Table system for a seamless vanilla feel.
• Dynamic Trails – Unique, customizable particle effects that trail behind you based on your armor tier, with a global on/off toggle and per-tier disable.
• Enchantment Merging – Automatically combines enchants (like Protection IV and Mending) from both items.
• Custom Name Carry-Over – Named your Elytra? The fused result keeps the name by default. Configurable (elytra, chestplate, preserve, or fixed config).
• Reversible Fusion – Players can split a fused Elytra back into the exact original Elytra and Chestplate with /ef split, protected by a clickable in-chat confirmation screen. Works on legacy fusions too with a best-effort fallback.
• Fully Configurable – Adjust armor values, toughness, durability, particles, and every player-facing message via config.yml. Supports &-color codes and {placeholders}.
• Safe Updates – Drop in a new .jar without touching your existing config. Missing new keys fall back to packaged defaults at runtime, and a config-latest.yml reference file is generated only when something new is available.

How it Works

1. The Fusion: Place a Smithing Template, an Elytra, and your Chestplate into a Smithing Table.
2. The Result: You receive an Infused Elytra that grants the specific armor points of the chestplate used — plus its enchantments and (optionally) its name.
3. The Maintenance: Repair your gear in an Anvil using the base material (e.g., use Diamonds to repair Diamond Infused Elytras).
4. The Split (optional): Changed your mind? Hold the fused Elytra and run /ef split — confirm in chat and get your original items back.

Commands & Permissions
Command Description Permission
(Smithing Table fusion) Fuse an Elytra with any Chestplate elytrafusion.use (default: true)
/ef split Split a fused Elytra back into its original items (with confirm prompt) elytrafusion.split (default: true)
/ef give <player> <tier> Instantly give an infused elytra elytrafusion.admin (default: op)
/ef reload Reload config settings instantly elytrafusion.admin (default: op)

Pro tip: Because elytrafusion.use is a real permission, you can use LuckPerms contexts to restrict fusing to specific worlds, regions, or ranks — e.g. allow fusing only at spawn, or only for donators.
