ElytraKickstart
by BridgerSilk
ElytraKickstart is a Fabric client mod that lights a firework rocket for the player when they start flying with an elytra.
What it does
When a player begins gliding, the mod picks a firework rocket from the hotbar and uses it, so no manual boost is needed to take off. It then switches back to the slot that was selected before the rocket was used. Only the client needs it, so players install it while the server runs without it. Fabric API is required, and files are published for Fabric for 1.21.8 only, released under the Apache License 2.0 and not open source.
Key features
Automatic firework launch
Using a rocket is triggered by the start of elytra flight, so the first boost happens without any key press.
Hotbar rocket selection
The mod takes a firework rocket from the hotbar when flight begins, so the rocket must already be in reach.
Restores the previous slot
After the rocket is used, the held hotbar slot goes back to the one that was selected before.

What the author says
This mod simply uses a firework rocket in your hotbar once as soon as you start flying with an elytra. It also switches back to the slot you originally had selected in your hotbar. Great feature for lazy people;)
