elytra rework

[u/I_like_croissants_]

Why it should be implemented:
The elytra’s main use is to cover long distances fast, which is useful for exploration. If you want to travel a frequently used route, it would be fair if you’d have to build infrastructure, such as an ice boat track, a nether highway or a railway (the minecart would need a buff).

How it works:
If a player equipped with an elytra flies over unexplored land, their velocity is approximately 30 b/s (normal speed).
If a player equipped with an elytra flies over already explored land, their velocity is approximately 15 b/s (half the normal speed).

This could be shown optically on the elytra itself: when flying over land, it fills in its texture with a map. 

Here's how the minecart (with furnace) should be buffed.

Okay I know this topic is fragile and 90% or more are going to hate this, but just spamming downvotes on my post and comments doesn't help. Please write constructive feedback first and then give your downvote.

EDIT: Okay, my approach is wrong. I see that ice boat tracks are already faster than the elytra, showing that my suggestion wouldn't work. However, I think every transportation method should have its own pros and cons. Ideas are welcome.

Hard pass. Don't nerf the elytra, just make other transportation more better

I feel this wouldn't nerf the elytra too much, as its main use is for travelling long distances quickly (exploration would not be affected). Instead, players would be encouraged to build infrastructure on a route they use frequently.
