Self Sparkler
by startle
Self Sparkler stops firework rockets from damaging the player who launched them while flying with an Elytra, and keeps other entities from taking that damage.
What it does
Vanilla firework rockets used during Elytra flight normally hurt the player who fired them. Self Sparkler removes that self-damage, so rocket boosting stays usable without a health cost. Rockets can still be customized through vanilla's rocket options. The mod is Fabric-only, runs on the server alone, and covers game version 26.2. It is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later.
Key features
No self-damage
A player who boosts with a rocket takes no damage from that rocket during Elytra flight.
Protects nearby entities
Pets and other entities around a flying player are not harmed by the rocket, so they survive takeoff near a base.
Piggyback rides
Friends riding along through FSit piggyback rides are not exploded by rockets fired by the player carrying them.

How it compares
Boostation MC runs on client and server under the MIT License, is not open source, and targets 26.2. No Firework Boosting is server-side only, open source under CC0 1.0 Universal, and covers 1.20 – 1.21.5, so it works on older builds than Self Sparkler. No Elytra Flight is optional on either side, open source under CC0 1.0 Universal, and covers 26.1 – 26.1.2.

What the author says
Self Sparkler prevents firework rockets that would normally deal damage from doing so when the rocket is used by a player that is flying using an Elytra. Fly in style using vanilla's extensively customizable rockets!
