Reusable Rockets
by henkelmax
Reusable Rockets adds three tiers of rockets that players can refuel with gunpowder and use again, boosting an elytra flight for a set duration.
What it does
Rockets of each tier store a number of uses that is refilled by adding gunpowder, so the same rocket item can be used repeatedly instead of being consumed on every boost. Flight duration depends on the tier, with a maximum of 2 for the lowest tier and 4 for the highest. Only elytra boosting is affected; the rockets are not changed for other uses.
The mod suits survival worlds and multiplayer servers where players fly with elytra often and want fewer rockets to craft. It requires Just Enough Items (JEI) as an optional dependency, which shows the recipes in the item browser when installed. Reusable Rockets runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge across 21 release versions, 1.19 – 1.21.8, under All rights reserved; the source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Reusable rockets
Rockets keep a stock of uses and are refilled with gunpowder rather than consumed after each boost.
Three rocket tiers
Each tier stores a different number of uses and gives a different flight duration, from 2 up to 4.
Dynamic flight duration
Flight time changes with the tier of the rocket, so players choose between short and long boosts.
Gunpowder refuel
Gunpowder is the only ingredient needed to top up a rocket, keeping the refuelling step simple.
