If the name doesn't make this obvious enough, this is a simple image that shows you how the different areas in the elytra texture file look in game. Since the elytra will be changeable much like skins, I figure having this resource will help many people create their own fancy wings. I hope this helps anyone interested!

Here's a small album containing a template elytra texture, and 2 screenshots to show how it looks. The texture file used is the very fist picture. It's small, so don't miss it. Use the chain helmet for directional reference

Here's what the colors in the guide are associated with (assume the elytra are activated as shown in the pictures. For reference, your player head is the front, and feet are the back.)

• Blue: Top (the left part of this area is near the front of the elytra)
• Light Blue: Bottom (the left part of this area is near the back end of the elytra)
• Red: Front
• Magenta: Back
• Green: Inside
• Yellow: Outside
• No Color: Doesn't affect the elytra
