Mob Rockets
by mofaha
Mob Rockets adds two firework-based projectiles that players craft and use on hostile mobs and on the ground near them, for a Fabric setup.
What it does
Two recipes let players craft hand-held MobRockets and trigger firework rockets, both built from firework rockets and used with a crossbow. A hand-held MobRocket can strike a hostile mob directly, while a MobRocket fired at a solid block near hostiles explodes there and shoves them into the air. Fired from a ground position, it can clear space around a player who is surrounded.
The mod also works during elytra flight. A boost used mid-air turns a regular flight into a display of exploding fireworks, and several boosts can flood the sky over an area with mob-bursting blasts. Mob-specific explosion effects give each burst its colors. Firework rockets of every type can be used to craft MobRockets and more of them.
Mob Rockets runs on Fabric, on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The license is All rights reserved, and the mod is not open source. Files target 1.21.6 – 26.1.2, with the latest file, 1.1.0, published for 26.1.2 on 2026-04-09.

Elytra boost displays

What the author says
Two new recipes let you craft two versions of the MobRocket trigger firework, a custom firework which calls in a spectacular firework attack when used. Any hostile mob in range will get a firework rocket shoved up under them which will hurl them skyward until they're blown apart in a colorful mob-specific explosion…
