Elytriets

Elytriets fly around end cities and wear elytra, but hardly ever drop them.  Along with the elytra and carry knock-back iron swords.  They fly around kind of like phantoms, and land occasionally.  if you hit them, they will fight until very low in health, and then they will fly away until healed.  They look sort of like the vex but bigger.

Thank you!

    I like that this would make Elytras renewable which would help balancing the elytra supply on servers. I think you should elaborate more on the details of the mob though. How do they behave, neutral or agressive? And how do they fight? Just like any player would? That might be a bit boring.

    Also, since there is no solid ground in the end, wouldn't the elytras they drop just fall into the void if they don't die over an island? Maybe there should be a way to prevent that, as that would steal the player's reward for defeating them. It would be unfortunate if the go-to method ended up sealing them in with blocks so they can't fly away.

    I think this idea is amazing but there could also be zombie elytriets in the nether

    I would say make them harder to farm and kill but 100% of the time drop Elytra.

    Maybe they could use a different weapon to make them different from vexes. Otherwise I like the idea.
