BEST ENCHANTMENTS FOR ELYTRA
The optimal enchantment setup for your Minecraft elytra.4 enchantments are compatible with this item.
Recommended Combination
Essential
Elytra can only be enchanted with Unbreaking and Mending (plus curses). Mending is essential since elytra cannot be repaired at a crafting table. Keep phantom membranes for anvil repairs as backup.
All Compatible Enchantments (4)
Prevents the item from being removed from an armor slot once equipped (except by dying or breaking).
Causes the item to disappear (be deleted) upon the player's death instead of dropping.
Uses experience orbs to repair the item instead of adding to the player's experience bar.
Increases item durability by giving a chance to not consume durability on use.
Which elytra to enchant
None of these 4 rule each other out, so one elytra can carry all of them at the same time.
There is one elytra in the game and no enchanting table will touch it: the elytra has no enchantability at all, so everything on this page has to arrive as a book on an anvil. It takes 432 uses before it breaks.
| Item | Durability | Enchantability |
|---|---|---|
| Elytra | 432 | 1 |
Enchanting Cost Notes
Anvil Costs: Each time you combine items on an anvil, the prior work penalty increases. Plan your enchantment order to minimize total XP cost.
Order Matters: Combine the most expensive enchantments first, then add cheaper ones. This keeps anvil costs lower overall.
XP Limit: Anvil operations are capped at 39 levels in survival mode. If the cost exceeds this, you need to restructure your combination order.
