NmS' Rocket Launcher Mod
by NmS
NmS' Rocket Launcher Mod adds a craftable launcher whose rockets carry the player, so a rider can fly and steer mid-air.
What it does
The launcher is craftable once a Dispenser has been obtained, and the recipe becomes available at that point. The rockets it fires can be ridden, and the rider steers them with the cursor. Holding Shift while shooting sends a rocket forward without mounting it, which covers the case where only a launch is wanted. The launcher can also be found through the Enchanting Table, anvils, enchanted books and Librarian Villagers, and a small set of advancements gives straightforward goals that use it.
The launcher has 64 uses and can be repaired with iron ingots. The mod requires Fabric API and optionally works with Mod Menu. It is published for Fabric only, across two release versions, 1.18.2 and 1.19.4, and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. The code is not open source and the mod is released under a custom license.

How it compares
Rocket Redux is a Fabric mod for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, open source under the MIT License, and it runs on client and server. elYEETra is also a Fabric mod, for 1.21.1 – 1.21.3, open source under the MIT License and running on client and server. Neither covers the 1.18.2 or 1.19.4 builds this launcher targets, so the two sets of versions do not overlap.
