ElytraMerge

ElytraMerge

A lightweight minecraft plugin that lets players combine a chestplate with an elytra on an anvil, so the elytra inherits the chestplate's armor, toughness and enchantments.

Features

• Place an elytra and a chestplate in an anvil (either slot order) to fuse them.
• The resulting elytra gains the chestplate's armor value and, for diamond/netherite, armor toughness.
• A netherite chestplate additionally grants +10% knockback resistance and makes the elytra fireproof.
• Enchantments from the chestplate are merged onto the elytra (curses are skipped; matching enchantments of equal level are bumped up one).
• An already-merged elytra cannot be merged again — it is tagged with persistent data so the anvil refuses a second merge.
• Player-facing text lives in a language file (lang/en.yml); add your own lang/<name>.yml and switch it in config.yml.

Compatibility

Minecraft: 26.1.2 or newer. Built and tested against 26.1.2 (build 8).

Java: 25 or newer (required by the 26.1.2 server API).

Server software / architecture:

All work happens inside the anvil event on the calling thread, with no scheduler involved, so the same jar runs unchanged on Folia's regionized threading model and on the single-threaded Paper/Purpur model.

Built against folia-api 26.1.2.build.8-stable.

Building

mvn clean package

The jar is produced at target/ElytraMerge-1.0.0.jar. Drop it into your server's plugins/ folder.

Configuration

# config.yml
language: en

On first start the plugin writes config.yml and lang/en.yml into its data folder. Existing files are never overwritten, so your edits are preserved across restarts. Missing keys in a custom language file fall back to the bundled English defaults.
