Icarus Wing Types Guide: Feathered, Dragon, Light, and Mechanical
This guide provides an overview of the wing types available in the Icarus mod, focusing on the feathered, dragon, light, and mechanical categories.
Wing Categories and Crafting
The mod organizes its wings into distinct types, each with its own crafting method and characteristics. While some wings are created directly through a specific recipe, others are obtained by dyeing a base wing type.
Feathered Wings
Feathered wings are a classic wing type. A specific variant, the 
White Mechanical Feathered Wings, combines organic and mechanical components. To craft this wing type, you will need a 
Honeycomb, 
Iron Ingot, an 
Elytra, and 
Feathers. The recipe is shaped, meaning the components must be placed in a specific pattern within the crafting grid.
Dragon Wings
Dragon wings are another category of wing available in the mod. The facts provided do not detail a specific crafting recipe for a base dragon wing, but they do confirm that a 
White Dragon Wings item exists and can be recolored.
Light Wings
Light wings form a separate category. Similar to dragon wings, the exact recipe for a base light wing is not specified, but the 
White Light Wings item is confirmed to exist.
Mechanical Wings
Mechanical wings represent a more technological approach to flight. The White Mechanical Feathered Wings are a prime example, as they require an Elytra and Iron Ingots alongside feathers and honeycomb. This suggests a fusion of found and crafted materials. The existence of 
White Mechanical Leather Wings also implies a mechanical wing type that uses leather instead of feathers.
Dyeing Wings
A key feature of the wing system is the ability to change their color. All the wing types mentioned—dragon, light, and mechanical—can be dyed. The process for recoloring is consistent across these types.
- To dye a wing, you perform a shapeless crafting recipe.
- This recipe requires the wing you wish to color and a dye from the white dye tag (`#c:dyes/white`).
- The result of this recipe is the same wing type, but with a white color.
For example, combining White Dragon Wings with a white dye will yield White Dragon Wings. Similarly, you can apply this process to White Light Wings, White Mechanical Feathered Wings, and White Mechanical Leather Wings. This system implies that most, if not all, wing types can be customized to a white color scheme, and likely other colors through the use of different dyes.
Summary of Crafting Facts
The available information provides a clear picture of how some wings are made and how all are customized.
- White Mechanical Feathered Wings are the only wing type with a fully detailed crafting recipe. It is a shaped recipe requiring Honeycomb, Iron Ingot, Elytra, and Feathers.
- All listed wing types (White Dragon Wings, White Light Wings, White Mechanical Feathered Wings, and White Mechanical Leather Wings) can be recolored to white using a simple, shapeless dye recipe.
- The dyeing process does not change the wing type, only its color.
This overview should help you understand the basic structure of the wing types in Icarus, from the materials needed for mechanical wings to the universal dyeing system that allows for personalization across all categories.
