Tactical Jetpack
by 18310166
Tactical Jetpack gives players a thrusting jetpack that moves in eight directions, along with throwable sticky bombs for crowd control and quick escapes.
What it does
The jetpack thrusts in eight directions: forward, backward, left, right, up, down and the diagonals. Each use starts a 20-second cooldown, and a kill resets it. While the thrust or a bomb is active, visual and audio effects play, and the player takes no damage during the effect.
Sticky bombs stick to blocks and entities when thrown, then explode. They can destroy blocks and apply the Imbalance effect to mobs they hit, which suits crowd control. A fall damage buffer also works within 14 blocks of the ground, and a safe landing from 3 to 14 blocks grants Speed II for 5 seconds with a 10-second cooldown, with a notification when damage is prevented.
Installation needs Forge for Minecraft 1.20.1. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files for 1.20.1 were updated to 1.4.1 on 2026-03-19, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Eight-directional jetpack
The jetpack thrusts forward, backward, left, right, up, down and along the diagonals, with a 20-second cooldown between uses.
Sticky bombs
Throwable explosive sticks to blocks and entities, can destroy blocks, and applies the Imbalance effect to hit mobs.
Fall damage buffer
Within 14 blocks of the ground the buffer prevents fall damage and shows a notification when damage is stopped.
Speed boost after landing
A safe landing from 3 to 14 blocks grants Speed II for 5 seconds, and the same boost follows a jetpack use or bomb throw.

Long falls

Who it’s for: Players of Minecraft 1.20.1 with Forge who want tactical movement and explosives in survival or on a server where the mod is installed on both sides.
