How to Play Elytra Race

Elytra Race is a daily event where players compete to complete an elytra course in the fastest time.

• Use /elytrarace warp to teleport to the starting platform.
• Equip an elytra and glide off the platform to begin the race.
• Fly through each ring to progress through the course.
• Blue rings give you a speed boost.
• Flying through the final ring will complete the course and record your time.

The course changes each day and is selected from a pool of 30+ maps.
