your elytra troubles are likely to simply be lag
the mob griefing is off so that the spawn area and certain other special areas cant be destroyed or defaced by random mobs or mobs spawned/led by a player

@Paul2001 no , an other vip+ can t fly too
and it s other solution to stop that

the staff work tirelessly to keep the spawn area looking good
and the elytra lag can affect anyone

@Paul2001 but it is light in the spawn !!

wont stop zombies from following someone there

that shouldnt be possible your not allowed to change your own gamemode especially to 3

@Paul2001 in the spawn it is gamemode 3

gamemode 3 is spectator gamemode 2 is adventure mode

I have over 30 deaths and lost about 7 elytras in the End because my wings wouldnt engage at crucial moments (ie, when I leap over the Void). Then I realized it's lag and learned to test it out before leaping off the islands. When lag is too bad I avoid most adventuring altogether and just work on my base. Since I started doing that, my deaths from the Void and falling have disappeared.

It's just the way it is.

i on the other hand have only really used elytra on my solo worlds and have been killed several times by the lag from some command block creations

@Paul2001 it s not lagging , and i finded 2 end forteress with boat

i saud game mode 3 for 2 sorry

With Boat?

The airships.

I have noticed a few issues with elytras, if you notice they dont activate at all after warping or going to another dimension try relogging and it should fix it, lag does also affect it however the previously stated stops it completely till tp'd back to the overworld or reloging for some odd reason.

I've posted this before, but this is a known bug. It would help if everyone could upvote the bug report:

https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-92916

There is a suggestion that these are cause by teleportating between chunks that can be unloaded. It seems to me that people are more often invisible since warps were added, which do teleport you between unloadable (definitely a word) chunks so there might be something to it.
@CraftyMyner do you think it would be worth changing warps so they send you first to spawn, then to the warp, to see if makes a difference to how often players become invisible etc.?

@Andureil About mob griefing, can't you make mobs dissapear and/or disable mob griefing just in the spawn area?

This has been asked so many times already

@Andureil And no answers? lol

i think it would cause a lot of lag (ive tried similar things on solo) and would destroy your pets when you bring them to the spawn by accident

@Andureil And no answers? lol

oh i was thinking entirly differently there, thanks R4iscool1

About the elytra not activating.. Here's what I do:

1. Build a huge tower (mine is two stacks (128 blocks) high.

2. Go to the top and walk off

3. WAIT..... Don't activate it immediately, let yourself fall a bit before activating.

4. Smooth sailing from there, except the lag of course.

I've noticed jumping off the tower is less likely to work, try walking off instead.

people do tend to button mash the jump button this way it means that the jump is used then the elytra not the elytra on and off before you've fallen far enough for them to work. thanks for pointing it out i'd forgotten about that

Crafty has talked on the mob griefing topic hundreds of times, and you'll get the same response
Mob griefing is off to protect spawn, he doesn't block the creeper explotions and allow mob griefing, because that would be game breaking, I mean, they allow you to have infinite villagers easily AND creepers to don't destroy blocks? It is one thing for the other, mobs can't grief you, but you can't farm villagers easily

About the elytra issue, just relog and u shd be able to open your wings. I have tried this multiple times in the end and havent died to that yet.

I just make a 4 block tower, you can firework yourself up and u wont die if ur elytra fails

By the way, if you are falling in the End and log off, you can save yourself by having a friend log on, tell you their TPA ID, getting the command ready on your clipboard, then quickly Ctrl V Enter and you are out.
-Note your friend has to be in the End dimension.

I got my internet switched, connection is not at 600-1200ms now :)

Just jump off of a platform and it will activate. Hasn't failed me yet.

Makes raiding end cities much more enjoyable and quicker
