Elytra Trails

Colorful trails for elytra flight, designed to match the vanilla visual style.

Version note: Vanilla APIs and particle implementations differ between Minecraft versions, so the exact trail appearance may vary slightly. Use the build that matches your Minecraft version.

Crafting

Ingredients Result
Book + any dye Enchanted book for the matching color trail
Book + gunpowder Big Trail enchanted book
Book + gunpowder + flint Multi Trail I enchanted book

Recipe example

Combine the enchanted book with an elytra in an anvil. Color trail enchantments are mutually exclusive. Big Trail and Multi Trail can be combined with a color trail.

Multi Trail books can be merged in an anvil: I + I -> II, II + II -> III, and so on.

Configuration

After the first launch, the mod creates config/elytra-trails.json on the client:

{
  "spreadRadius": 1.0,
  "spawnInterval": 1,
  "trailDuration": 100
}
Option Description Default
spreadRadius Spread radius of Big Trail particles, in blocks 1.0
spawnInterval Particle spawn interval in ticks; higher values are lighter on performance 1
trailDuration Lifetime of each trail particle in ticks 100

The config file supports hot reload. While flying with a valid trail enchantment, changes are picked up on the next particle spawn, usually within about one second. No game restart is required.

Installation

Fabric

  1. Install Minecraft 1.21 - 1.21.11 with Fabric Loader.
  2. Install the matching Fabric API version.
  3. Place the matching Elytra Trails jar in the mods folder.

NeoForge

  1. Install Minecraft 1.21 - 1.21.11 with the matching NeoForge version.
  2. Place the matching Elytra Trails jar in the mods folder.

Notes

  • This mod uses client-side particle rendering. Server-side gameplay does not create the visual trail.
  • Configuration is file-based; gamerule control is not included.
  • Different Minecraft versions may produce slightly different visual results.
