Elytra Back Slot
ElytraBackSlot
cape slot This mod lets you wear the vanilla Elytra in the cape slot of cape slot or and, so you can fly and keep a real chestplate equipped at the same time.

✨ Features
* No config required — equip your wings as an accessory, leaving the chestplate slot free for armor. * No config required — wear a Netherite Chestplate AND a cape-slot Elytra at the same time. The chestplate gives you defense, the Elytra gives you flight. * No config required — flight works exactly like with a chestplate-Elytra: double-tap space to glide, fireworks for boost, durability ticks down normally as you fly. * No config required — the actual Elytra wing model and animation render on your back when flying, not a flat cape texture. * No config required — runtime auto-detection of whichever accessory framework is installed; just drop the mod in and it works. * No config required — zero setup, zero commands.

🎮 How it works
1. Install the mod alongside cape slot OR cape slot (or both). 2. Open the accessory UI: * cape slot: press `H` to open the dedicated accessories screen. * cape slot: open your inventory — the cape slot appears in the sidebar. 3. Drag your Elytra into the cape slot. 4. Jump and press space mid-air — the wings unfold, you glide, durability decreases as expected. 5. Equip any chestplate you like in the regular armor slot — full armor stats stay active.

🔧 Compatibility
* ✅ Curios (Fabric) (Wisp Forest) — uses the built-in `cape` slot, suppresses the default cape rendering so only the vanilla wings show during flight. * ✅ Curios (Fabric) (emilyploszaj) — adds the `chest/cape` slot to the player and registers the Elytra as a valid item. * ⚠️ Curios (Fabric) — not natively supported; the Fabric port of Curios is largely unmaintained. If you need it, use Curios (Fabric) which routes Curios calls through Accessories (your mileage may vary depending on version compatibility).

❓ FAQ
Q: Do I lose flight if I take damage and lose all my Elytra durability? A: Same as vanilla — when the Elytra hits zero usable durability, you stop gliding. The broken Elytra stays in the cape slot until you replace it.
Q: Can I wear an Elytra in BOTH the chestplate slot and the cape slot? A: Yes, but the vanilla chestplate-Elytra takes priority. The cape-slot one is the fallback when the chest slot has no Elytra (or has a regular chestplate instead).
both server and client A: Yes, but the mod must be installed on both server and client. Server validates the flight, client renders the wings.
Q: Will it crash if I have neither Accessories nor Trinkets installed? A: No, it just does nothing in that case — no crash, no errors.
