Iron Jetpacks
by BlakeBr0
Iron Jetpacks gives players wearable jetpacks powered by Forge Energy, with stats that server owners can adjust and extend.
What it does
Each jetpack draws Forge Energy to fly, and the mod's built-in HUD shows the current energy, engine, hover and throttle values. Throttle controls set how fast the wearer moves through the air. Every jetpack's stats and attributes are set in configuration, and new jetpacks can be added through the documented system.
The mod ships a set of default jetpacks built from vanilla and modded materials. Cucumber Library is required and must be installed alongside it. Iron Jetpacks can be equipped as a Curio when Curios is present. Builds exist for Forge and NeoForge, covering 1.12 – 26.1.2, released under the MIT License as open source.
Key features
Configurable jetpack stats
All jetpack stats and attributes can be changed in configuration, and custom jetpacks can be defined.
Default jetpack set
A ready set of jetpacks is made from vanilla and modded materials, so flight is available without custom content.
Throttle control
The wearer adjusts aerial movement speed on the fly while flying.
Built-in HUD
The on-screen display reports energy, engine, hover and throttle values.
Curios equipping
A jetpack can be worn in a Curios slot instead of a chest slot.

Server-tuned flight
Server owners can adjust flight speed and energy use to suit their world.
Who it’s for: Modpack authors and server owners who want energy-based flight with adjustable stats. Players who already use Curios can equip jetpacks in those slots.
