How to Rocket Propel Elytra in Minecraft: Step by Step Guide

Elytras allow Minecrafters to glide through the air effortlessly, which significantly improves your life expectancy on any adventure. However, these magical capes have limited use compared to some other methods of transportation available in Minecraft. The Riptide enchantment, for example, is an excellent traversal technology that allows the player to repeatedly glide and even fly rapidly across the landscape.


However, the Riptide enchantment is dethroned by only one method of moving around in Minecraft - and that method is using Firework propulsion alongside an Elytra.


Required items to Rocket Propel the Elytra


To Rocket Propel in Minecraft, you will need the following:


  1. Elytra

  3. Paper

How to Rocket Propel the Elytra?


In a Nutshell:


Craft some Rockets and equip them. Use these Rockets with your Elytra to stay in the air for as long as you desire.


Step-by-Step Guide (with Pictures):


Step 1-Acquire some Gunpowder. It can be hard to find, but Creepers, Ghasts, and Witches can all drop these upon their demise.



Step 2- Get an Elytra. These rare items can only be found in the End City.



Step 3- Craft a rocket using Gunpowder and paper.



The more gunpowder you use, the farther the Rocket will go! The maximum flight duration is a value of 3.


Step 4- Find an appropriate launch point.



Step 5- Equip your Elytra.



Step 6- Once you’re in the air you will need to use your Elytra. Jump off the cliff and use your Elytra by pressing the jump key again while in mid-air.



Step 7- Light the Rocket by pressing the use key.



There is no visual cue, but now you will begin to glide instead of fall.


Step 8- You’re flying! Keep using Rockets to maintain your trajectory.

FAQs


Q. How do I dye the Elytra?


While the Elytra has no dye functionality built into the game yet, the existing Cape feature allows players to customize the look of their Elytra. By equipping a cape at the same time as an Elytra, you can convert your Elytra’s texture into the exact same look as your cape!


Conclusion


Elytras are fun items, but their usefulness is limited to falling with style. In Minecraft there is always a new synergy to discover between items and gameplay styles. Ascend to new heights with this useful combination of tools and make use of all of those Fireworks you have lying around.
