What is parity? This category is designed just for features that exist but work one way on one platform, and another way on a different platform. Bugs are not parity! Items in snapshots and betas are subject to change so please be sure to only post about things that are currently released in Minecraft. Please read the intro post before you post!

[Java Parity] Elytra activation

In Java 1.15 they changed the elytra mechanics so that they can now be activated while moving upwards. This makes takeoffs much more consistent as you can just double tap space and fire you firework. It also adds a very interesting counter to shulker levitation as you can now activate your elytra while floating and safely glide back down to the ground. Bedrock should also recieve this change.

    you should also be able to activate them using touchscreen (IOS and Android) and be able to use a firework quickly enough to enable taking off from level ground - currently impossible on touchscreen, but possible on EVERY OTHER variant of minecraft.

    You guys can activated elytra from ground level in bedrock by using the fireworks and tap quickly on the jump button (touch the screen with fireworks selected and jump button at the same time) you can get used to it after some tries.

    Thank you everyone for voting on this. It looks as tho Mojang eventually added this in a patch but never updated this page. I guess this can be marked as added/closed. :D
