[TUTORIAL] Making a flying armor 2022.x - Forge 1.18.2 - Look at the comments for updates up to 2023.x 1.20.1

I tried to make it as simple as possible, it does require to lock the code.

Create your default or custom 3d armor
Modify the desired settings
Save
Now lock the code
Copy the following and paste it right before the last "}" in the code

    

   @Override
   public boolean canElytraFly(ItemStack stack, net.minecraft.world.entity.LivingEntity entity) {
      return true;
   }

   @Override
   public boolean elytraFlightTick(ItemStack stack, net.minecraft.world.entity.LivingEntity entity, int flightTicks) {
      if (!entity.level.isClientSide) {
         int nextFlightTick = flightTicks + 1;
         if (nextFlightTick % 10 == 0) {
            if (nextFlightTick % 20 == 0) {
               stack.hurtAndBreak(1, entity, e -> e.broadcastBreakEvent(net.minecraft.world.entity.EquipmentSlot.CHEST));
            }
            entity.gameEvent(net.minecraft.world.level.gameevent.GameEvent.ELYTRA_FREE_FALL);
         }
      }
      return true;
   }

=============SPECIAL NOTE================

    If needed set stack.hurtAndBreak from 1 (default value - breakable) to 0 (unbreakable)

=============SPECIAL NOTE================

Congratulations, now your armor (chestplate) will act just like an elytra ... and still have armor properties.

If you still have doubts, watch the following ...

NOTE: Apologies for the image hosting issues, one of my server admins decided to rearrange the content in it causing mapping issues.

Please ... (right click and save for future reference)

Results ...

Take off

Landing

With some creativity you could add a tick to the chestplate ... adding an additional chestplate that will switch while in air for a winged model, making it cool and more enjoyable to watch.

I would gladly like to see screenshots of your creations.

Have fun

@Max10tails - I never had an issue playing in a server, usually the mod has to be in the server and in the client.

could you add a tutorial on how to get this to work so it has wings when in air

Jump to top Permalink

does this work with 3d modle armor?

Jump to top Permalink

Yes ... That is the entire code for a Geckolib 3d armor, including how to enable the elytra flying, and how to trigger the armor animations with:

fall flying
blocking with shield on right or left hand - good for armors with wings
crouching
sprinting
freezing
on fire
in powder snow
idle

The code is the entire tutorial, you only need to:

create your own custom animations
rename them to your preference
test it.

It also has a regeneration effect (or you could assign a different or custom effect) while wearing the full set. Or just remove it.

Does work for 1.19.4? Because the armor doesnt compile correctly.

@ valencian

That code is for a Geckolib armor. Just generate the code with MCreator and then add at the bottom ...



    //ENABLE ELYTRA FLYING

    @Override
    public boolean canElytraFly(ItemStack stack, LivingEntity entity) {
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean elytraFlightTick(ItemStack stack, LivingEntity entity, int flightTicks)
    {
        if (!entity.level.isClientSide && (flightTicks + 1) % 20 == 0) {
            //set stack.hurtAndBreak from 1 (default value - breakable) to 0 (unbreakable)
            stack.hurtAndBreak(0, entity, e -> e.broadcastBreakEvent(net.minecraft.world.entity.EquipmentSlot.CHEST));
        }
        return true;
    }

    protected boolean onGround;
    public void setOnGround(boolean p_20181_) {
        this.onGround = p_20181_;
    }

    public boolean isOnGround() {
        return this.onGround;
    }

If you decide to copy/paste it, then you will need to figure out what is causing the error in your project.

Maybe the class name, or the animations I added based on a custom shield on hand ... not sure.

Oh, I forgot to say that i figured out the issue, anyways thanks!

code for mcreator 2013.3 please

Jump to top Permalink

Did you just posted MCreator 2013.3 ...? I think it was for 1.6

Which MCreator version are you using? Post a screenshot of the version

For which Minecraft version is the armor for?

Please show the entire code (not just the error) in order to possibly help you better.

Jump to top Permalink

Ok, so possibly you had a typo with the version ...

I just double-checked the code and found a slight change for 2023.3.

It had a change from:

.level

to:

.level()

Updated code:

	//ENABLE ELYTRA FLYING

    @Override
    public boolean canElytraFly(ItemStack stack, LivingEntity entity) {
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean elytraFlightTick(ItemStack stack, LivingEntity entity, int flightTicks)
    {
        if (!entity.level().isClientSide && (flightTicks + 1) % 20 == 0) {
            //set stack.hurtAndBreak from 1 (default value - breakable) to 0 (unbreakable)
            stack.hurtAndBreak(0, entity, e -> e.broadcastBreakEvent(net.minecraft.world.entity.EquipmentSlot.CHEST));
        }
        return true;
    }

    protected boolean onGround;
    public void setOnGround(boolean p_20181_) {
        this.onGround = p_20181_;
    }

    public boolean isOnGround() {
        return this.onGround;
    }

Also, double check the imports (at the top fo the code):

import net.minecraft.world.entity.LivingEntity;//MIGHT BE REQUIRED
