Fall four or more blocks to glide.

"from a high place"

Spake Miner 2015-10-08T13:23:21Z

I think I know what this issue is. It's not sometimes, I think it's whenever you go through the end gateway in the End, it disables your flight until you go back through the gate or exit the End.

Mr. Sandwich 2015-10-08T13:51:53Z

I didnt go to the end, I just grabbed it from creative mode

Same happened to me. Doesn't glide, got them from creative (stopped after a certain amount of time).

Can confirm for 15w42a. Elytra stopped working after I threw an ender pearl into an end gateway. Returning to the overworld fixed the issue.

Swekob 2015-10-29T07:59:26Z

Confirmed for 15w44a.
_To@unknown_{: You forgot to copy over affects version 15w44a from the duplicate I pointed out (MC-91554).}

Damnit, thanks.

Swekob 2015-11-12T16:03:51Z

Confirmed for 15w46a

I have the same issue in 15w51b, but I don't have to jump from a high place. It just stops working completely, just negating fall-damage most of the time.

Lily Aviarn 2016-01-05T23:54:02Z

I, too, ran into this problem in 15w51b. I logged into my world in Creative with the Elytra already equipped (and used, but not by much) and glided into my End portal. It worked fine, until I manually flew into the End gateway; then the Elytra stopped working entirely. Saving & quitting, then logging back in seems to fix it; but then I walked back into the gateway and it happened again.

This bug has been a problem for me too, ever since elytra were first introduced.
Mojang has to fix this before releasing 1.9 complete.
Otherwise, they'll be many deaths by crashing (Overworld/Nether), burning (Nether), or falling (The End)! It's not fair to lose these elytra when it's not your fault! 😞

It also doesn't work in 1.9 pre 4 and it is bugging me, however for me it won't work at any height.

Mustek 2016-02-28T23:35:29Z

Is this still the case in the pre-releases after the activation change?

@unknown: Tap spacebar in the air to activate them.

Edward Lee Jenkins 2016-02-28T23:39:53Z

Oh thx, it worked now.

Noah Barnes 2016-02-29T03:36:52Z

Hope this will be fixed in time
EDIT: As people said, reloging can fix it, but that shouldn't be the fix for this

Liam Orr 2016-02-29T19:57:09Z

I'm running 1.9 with windows 10, and I'm experiencing this glitch.

None 2016-03-30T06:06:38Z

it also affects to 1.9.1 pre 1

user-f2760 2016-03-30T06:58:35Z

@unknown that version is a bit outdated, how abour 1.9.1-pre3?

None 2016-04-02T12:33:47Z

it stills affects

None 2016-04-02T12:34:06Z

and in the trend update it works perfectly

user-f2760 2016-04-02T12:37:46Z

@unknown because that is outdated we can't select it
as of 1.rv-pre1, that is not supported here

None 2016-04-11T18:09:34Z

it works too on 1.9.2 and 1.9.3 snapshots

wobst.michael 2016-10-27T20:09:10Z

Is this still an issue in the most recent versions (currently that is 1.10.2, or 16w43a) of Minecraft? If so, please update the affected versions and help us keeping this ticket updated from time to time. If you are the owner/reporter of this ticket, you can modify the affected version(s) yourself.

Prokop Tomka 2016-12-28T14:56:35Z

I have the same problem in 1.11.2

I can use Firework Rocket, but it doesn't propell me, nor do I glide.

Nathan Robson 2017-02-13T05:33:30Z

I've had this problem for several versions. I was using the Elytra for about an hour without problems, and then suddenly, it just stopped working. I destroyed my Elytra and got a new one, and still nothing. This literally was just 10 minutes ago. I have my game fully updated to the latest version. Other people in my realm have had the same problem.

Uriel Salischiker 2018-10-02T20:23:55Z

Is this still a issue in the latest version of the game(currently 1.13.1)?

If so, please add it to the affected versions, thanks!
