An Elytra has a durability of 432, meaning the wings can be used 432 times before they are destroyed. A Minecraft world has multiple Elytra, so you can always search for more. Enchantments can be employed to prolong the use of the Elytra. Elytra can also be repaired with an Anvil and a Phantom Membrane. Place the partially damaged Elytra and a Phantom Membrane on the Anvil. You can repeat this process until it is fully repaired.
