Pyrotechnic Villager
by nicopro2703
Pyrotechnic Villager adds a new villager profession that sells rockets and Elytras for Forge on 1.18.2, giving players another source of flight gear.
What it does
A new Pyrotechnic villager variation takes a custom profession with its own workstation, so it integrates into the game's normal villager trading. Players reach the trades by finding one and visiting its workstation, with no extra menus or commands needed. The profession focuses entirely on aerial progression, and it is the mod's way of offering a route to Elytras that does not depend only on exploring the End.
Trades are grouped into tiers of rockets and other flight gear, which the trader exchanges for resources players collect. The mod aims to make flight more accessible while keeping progression balanced, so the trades stay a challenge for dedicated players rather than a shortcut. Builders of survival maps, operators of multiplayer servers and people assembling modpacks are the setups it targets.
The mod runs on Forge for 1.18.2 only, and it is released under the MIT License as a project that is not open source. Both the server and every player need it. Its first build appeared on 2026-02-18 and the latest file, 1.0.1, followed on 2026-02-20.
