If you don’t keep an eye on your Elytra’s durability bar, you’re bound to lose it. Instead of going through all the hassle to get it back, we recommend that you get it repaired. To repair elytra in Minecraft, you will need an anvil and phantom membranes. You can get membranes from a mob called Phantoms. Then open the anvil menu and place the elytra and membrane in it. Then drag the healed elytra and place it back into your inventory. To increase the life of the elytra, we recommend that you use enchanted books such as Unbreaking and Mending.
