Q&A for How to Use an Elytra on Minecraft

As always in the end, there will be Endermen, but there is a dangerous mob known as the Shulker that hide in end cities. They look similar to purpur blocks, but don't be fooled. They have zig-zagged shells that can open up, allowing them to shoot special projectiles at you that cause you to float upward for 30 seconds. They also will teleport occasionally if you hit them.

The PC version of the game was developed first, and computers usually have more memory than phones, both of which contribute to more advanced game play.

Get moving fast enough, and with a good amount of precision, agility, and luck, you can zip through the hole easily.

Bedrock is unbreakable unless you are in Creative Mode. It prevents players from falling into the Void, so you don't want to break it in a regular survival world.

Yes, you merely need to press the "jump" button whilst in midair with the Elytra equipped on your character.

In survival, you can't. End portals are generated in underground strongholds, which are very rare and hard to find. Only three at most generate in a world! Strongholds can be located by throwing eyes of ender. The portal will probably need to be refilled with eyes of ender before you use it, though.

Use non-exploding fireworks, the kind that just zooms up and disappears. If that doesn't work, you probably can't do it.

It is possible that the developers thought jumping wasn't enough. In real life, an elytra is the usually brightly colored shell on a beetle that protects their wings and opens up when they fly. The elytra themselves don't actually do the flying.

The elytra is one of the most effective and fastest ways to travel in Minecraft, and is very overpowered if you know how to use it. Therefore, it is hard to get to help create a power balance in game.

Hold fireworks in either your main hand or offhand. Then, while flying with an elytra, use the fireworks. This will propel you forward.

Avoid running into walls and blocks and trying to land at high speeds. Try to make a gradual decline, or go around in a circle as you land to slow down.

Glide with the elytra. Then tap on the fireworks to fly. If it doesn’t work, try jumping when gliding.

Find the gateway portal. Then go through the exit portal. You need to have killed the ender dragon first. If you can’t find it, go 1000 blocks away so you are at 0, something, 0.

Go to the outer islands and keep searching a lot until you find the end city. They have purple blocks and shulkers.

You can only get a command block by using cheats. You can use the command /give username command_block. Be sure to replace 'username' with your in game name before entering the command.

You can get to the end by crafting eyes of ender, pressing the use button while holding them, and following them until they go underground. When the go underground or keep going back to the same area upon throwing, you should dig down until you find a stone brick structure. This is called a stronghold, and it contains multiple rooms, one of which is the end portal room. You need to fill each empty portal frame with an eye of ender, once you do the portal will activate and you can go to the End.

Not all end cities in Minecraft have ships, you need to keep looking until you find one that does.

This is done in the same way as enchanting any other item; the only upgrades for elytra are unbreaking and mending.

Go slowly, don't dive straight down or run into a wall as that will kill you. Keep practicing until you get the hang of it.

Chain armor is obtainable in survival but you can only get it by trading as loot or having a mob drop it.

It does work on Nintendo Switch, just jump and hit jump again to start gliding.

If your camera is set in first person, then it should be if first person when you use elytra.

Open your crafting table and put 8 obsidian around the sides. Put one eye of ender in the center. This will craft the ender chest.
