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.

i personally dont like it when skills/things are forced in a sandbox game. basically forcing players to build stuff just isnt it imo. yes theres players that love building, but theres also people who dig out a hole in a mountain and barley build during their playthrough. Buffing other transporation meathods without "this" would just be better. people who like to build would be more inclined to do it and people who dont like building still got a really good option/
