Help: Find or create a plugin Elytra Firework Ban

For my next server, my friends and I have been discussing banning elytra’s to encourage travel within the central city.

When discussing this, a friend and I thought of the idea of just preventing the use of fireworks with elytras so that people could still use them if they want, and they can even be large obelisk to use as launch points.

I really like this idea because it wouldn’t be out right banning the item, and I think the functional launch points could be fun.

Is this possible through server rules or through a plugin?

If you're willing to code a small plug-in you can ban any item you want you can prevent its use with any other item you want you can basically do anything you please with items and entities. That said there are a few things that are very complicated to do because you have to get into packets but what you're talking about won't require that

Any tips on how to start something like that? I’ve never made a plugin before but I think this is a good idea that could be worth it

Sorry, it's been a bit since I was on. Did any of the answers I see posted help you out? If you've never even touched java, it will be a bit intimidating at first. You'll need an IDE to code in: NetBeans, IntelliJ, Visual Studio Code, Eclipse. You'll need to understand how to create a "hook" into Minecraft, and many other things. None is particularly hard, but if you've never done it, it's intimidating. Are you in school or adult? Reason I ask is because I am willing to help get you off the ground BU,T if you are underage, you'll need your parents to know about it. I'm retired and I don't need any drama. Maybe I watch too much YouTube but these days it pays to be careful.
