Rocket Jump - No Elytra Required
As a mobility solution for early game, or for when you want to keep your chestplate on, this mod lets you boost using firework rockets without elytra.
Be careful though; gliding is not included!
Full List of Features (version 1.0.1)
- Allow firework rocket boosting without elytra equipped (on by default)
- Easy takeoff: with elytra equipped, using a firework rocket will make you start flying (on by default)
- Change whether firework rockets can be lit off by using them on blocks
- Prevent empty rockets (no firework stars) from being lit (on by default).
- Prevent all rockets from being lit (off by default)
- Prevent using rockets to boost while a rocket boost is already active (on by default).
- This prevents wasting rockets in-flight by boosting before the last rocket has run out.
- With this option enabled, you can hold down the use button to re-boost with perfect timing!
- Prevent boosting with rockets that have firework stars (off by default)
- Change the acceleration and top speed of rocket flight! (by default, flight physics is not changed.)
- If enabled, you can configure the two parameters that control rocket flight.
- This enables changing the maximum speed, and rate of acceleration, of rocket flight.
- Details about the parameters can be found in the config file.
- Attach fireworks to mobs! (enabled by default)
- Using a firework rocket on an entity will attach it to that entity, and launch it into the air!
- Makes for a convenient way to get enemies out of your face, or a very inconvenient way to harvest your farm animals.
- By default, you cannot attach rockets to other players, but there's a config option to enable that.
