Better Rockets
by maxiloo
Better Rockets, a Fabric mod by maxiloo, adds a Rocket Bundle that stores firework rockets so elytra flight does not stop when the supply runs low.
What it does
The Rocket Bundle is a single item that carries a large reserve of firework rockets, which frees inventory space for other essentials. A fuel gauge drawn on the item bar reports how many rockets remain, so a pilot can check supply before a long flight. Rockets can be drawn from the bundle to boost flight without swapping stacks by hand.
Fabric API is required, and the mod is published only for the Fabric loader. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files cover 12 release versions, and the latest file is 1.0.5+1.21.11 for 1.21.11, published 2025-12-22. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Rocket Bundle storage
A single bundle carries a large reserve of firework rockets, so flights are not cut short by an empty hotbar.
Rechargeable rockets
Rockets stored in the bundle can be used to boost elytra flight without being moved out of the item first.
Item bar fuel gauge
The bundle's item bar shows how much fuel is left, making the remaining rocket supply visible at a glance.
Fewer inventory swaps
Players no longer need to rearrange stacks mid-flight to keep a supply of boosts available.

Use cases
Long elytra flights
Exploring large biomes or crossing distances without stopping to restock rockets mid-flight.
Escaping danger
A rocket boost can be used quickly during a chase, with the remaining supply already loaded in the bundle.
Who it’s for: Elytra players who travel long distances and want a steady rocket supply without managing many separate stacks. Server owners running multiplayer worlds with elytra travel also use the mod, since every player needs it installed.
