Backlytra

Backports Elytra to 1.8.9. Fair warning: this mod is the result of cobbling together code from Quark and vanilla with wild abandon.

Has multiple possible crafting recipes, here they are in order of cost:

Day One

Simple (default)

Ridiculous

The recipe can also be disabled by setting it to None, in case you want to add a MineTweaker recipe or some sort of dungeon.

Also includes Quark-like dyeing.
