Simple Jetpacks
by chudlord
Simple Jetpacks gives players wearable jetpacks in several power tiers, toggled with a key press.
What it does
Each jetpack is an item in its own power tier, and the lightest one burns coal from the inventory as fuel while the strongest one draws on item durability. The metal jetpack has to be recharged at a Tank Filler block using blaze powder. The items sit in the Redstone Blocks creative category, and some of their recipes call for special components. The mod is published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, and needs both the server and every player to run it.
