Firework & Elytra Flight Planner

Craft Elytra rockets using exactly 1 paper and between 1 and 3 gunpowder in any crafting grid layout. Never add firework stars, as plain rockets assign flight duration values of 1, 2, or 3 without exploding.

Fireworks deal damage during Elytra flight when crafted with firework stars, which inflict 5 to 7 damage per star upon detonation. A rocket loaded with 7 firework stars can deal up to 36 damage, instantly killing an unarmored player.

Jump while falling from a height of at least 1 block to deploy your wings, then right-click while holding a rocket in your main hand or off-hand. The rocket accelerates your player model to a boost speed of roughly 33.5 blocks per second.

In Bedrock Edition, jump mid-air to activate gliding, then tap and hold the screen or hold the use item button while holding a rocket. Unlike Java Edition's single right-click, Bedrock requires holding the interaction button for approximately 1 second to boost.

Rockets fail to boost you if your Elytra has dropped to 1 durability, or if you have not entered the gliding animation. Ensure your Elytra is equipped in chestplate slot 38 and press jump once mid-fall before using a rocket.
