How to fly with Elytra

Now that you have the device itself, it would require some fuel to work with. Elytra needs a hefty amount of fuel for longer flights and this required fuel is fireworks. Yes, you can get fireworks from chests or make some with the help of a piece of paper, one firework star and one gunpowder.

Make sure to have enough fireworks for fuel. Then, remove your chest plate from your character, if any is equipped, and equip the Elytra on the, now empty, character’s chest plate slot. Now go to an open area and press the ‘Spacebar’, this will let Elytra spread its wings.
