End ships... Who needs 'em? You certainly don't, not anymore at least. Enter, the Synthetic Elytron! With two of these, and a Netherite bar to join them, you can make yourself an Elytra, without even needing to build an awkward Cobblestone staircase to one of those icky ships. The recipes are simple:
Synthetic Elytron:
2 Phantom Membranes + 2 End Rods + 1 Netherite bar, in the approximate shape of a wing (see Gallery)
Note: the recipe can be flipped such that the End Rods are on the left as well
Elytra:
(Shapelessly)
2 Synthetic Elytrons (Elytra, whatever) + 1 Netherite Bar
