Jet Boots
by black_dog20
Jet Boots adds a pair of boots that let the player fly upward and hover, with fuel and a shock absorber that softens landings.
What it does
Jet Boots adds boots that give the wearer jet thrust. The author has said the idea came from jetpacks seen in other mods in 2017, and the boots are built around that same flight mechanic instead of a backpack. Fuel is consumed while the boots are firing, and a shock absorber feature reduces damage from hard landings.
The mod is a Technology and Equipment addition for Forge. Black_dogs's Modding Library (BML) is required, so it must be installed alongside Jet Boots. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Forge only, for three game versions, 1.18.2 – 1.20.1, and the latest file targets 1.20.1 with version 1.2.6. The license is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source, although its source code and issue tracker are publicly linked.
Key features
Jet thrust boots
Wearing the boots lets the player launch upward and hover while fuel lasts.
Shock absorber
A shock absorber feature reduces the damage taken when the wearer lands from a fall.
Smithing table upgrades
A few upgrade types are applied at the smithing table to improve the boots over time.
Fuel-based flight
Flight draws on a fuel supply, so the boots stop thrusting once it runs out and need refuelling.

Use cases
Exploration and building
Players who build tall structures or cross wide terrain can move vertically without ladders or scaffolding.
Who it’s for: Players who want a jetpack-style movement item in a Forge modpack that already uses Technology and Equipment mods. Server owners who run modpacks on 1.20.1 or earlier 1.18.2 and 1.19 builds can add it as a shared item.
How it compares
Simply Jetpacks 2 is a Forge jetpack mod for 1.12.2 – 1.20.1 under the MIT License, so it is open source. Simple Jetpacks is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 under All rights reserved, not open source. Create Jetpack covers Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.18.2 – 1.21.1 under a custom license, and it is not open source. Jet Boots differs from all of them by being a boot-based item, and it is not available for Fabric or NeoForge.
