This mod adds armored elytra to the game.
You can combine any chestplate with an elytra in the anvil to forge an armored elytra.
You can split the armored elytra in the grindstone to get back your original items.
All logic is handled on the server, client side install is only required for item icon and player model rendering.
If installed on the client side, both the elytra and the chestplate are visible.
Armor type, trim color, and leather color icons with the elytra shown at the back.
Custom icons are visible for players who have the mod installed on the client.
The mod no longer uses a custom resourcepack for the combined item icons. It modifies to the code to actually render the two items on top of each other with a slight vertical offset. Any custom texture pack is supported, but might not totally correct depending on the item icons. (Any size x16, x32, etc...)
The previous resourcepack Armored-Elytra-Icons-v1.14.0.zip will continue to work for default minecraft armors for players who do not install the mod on their client, but play on servers that use this mod. (Might drop support in the future, as a server owner please recommend installing the mod for players if possible.)

Having compatibility issues? Report them here by creating an issue describing which mods and versions you are using!
Any modded armor which does not have any special effects are compatible by default. For example a new modded armor with a custom armor material like emerald or obsidian. The chestplate should have the item tag #minecraft:chest_armor.
Any elytra item which is an extension of the default minecraft:elytra should work.
