Ready to experience the thrill of rocket-powered flight? Follow these simple steps to propel yourself through the Minecraft skies using fireworks and elytra.
Step 1: Equip Your Elytra Wings
First things first, make sure you are wearing your elytra. Equip them by placing the elytra in your chestplate armor slot.

Step 2: Add Firework Rockets to Your Hotbar
Next, place firework rockets in your hotbar for easy access during flight. This allows you to quickly select and use them while gliding.
In this example, we’ve added a stack of firework rockets to the hotbar, ensuring we have plenty of boost for our flight.
Step 3: Initiate Elytra Glide from a High Point
Find a high location to begin your glide. Mountains, tall buildings, or even a simple elevated platform will work. For this demonstration, we’re launching from a mountaintop.
Tip: Change your camera view to third-person mode to get a better perspective of your elytra flight. This can help you visualize your movements and control your direction more effectively.
Jump off the edge of your high point. The control to deploy your elytra depends on your Minecraft version:
- Java Edition (PC/Mac): Press SPACE to open elytra.
- Pocket Edition (PE): Tap the Jump button once.
- PS3 and PS4: Press X on the controller.
- Xbox 360 and Xbox One: Press A on the controller.
- Windows 10 Edition: Press SPACE to open elytra.
- Wii U: Press A on the gamepad.
- Nintendo Switch: Press A on the controller.
- Education Edition: Press SPACE to open elytra.
Tip: For a smoother takeoff and longer glide, run and jump off the edge rather than just walking. Pressing your run button before jumping will give you extra momentum.
Step 4: Use Firework Rockets for Propulsion
Once you are gliding, it’s time to use your firework rockets for a speed boost! The control for using a rocket varies based on your Minecraft version:
- Java Edition (PC/Mac): Right-click to use a firework rocket.
- Pocket Edition (PE): Tap and hold to use a firework rocket.
- PS3 and PS4: Press L2 on the controller.
- Xbox 360 and Xbox One: Press LT on the controller.
- Windows 10 Edition: Right-click to use a firework rocket.
- Wii U: Press ZL on the gamepad.
- Nintendo Switch: Press ZL on the controller.
- Education Edition: Right-click to use a firework rocket.
You’ll hear the distinct sound of fireworks launching, and you’ll see white particle effects emitting from behind you. This indicates that the firework rocket is propelling you forward, significantly increasing your speed.
Tip: To maintain your speed and extend your flight, use another firework rocket as you start to slow down. Mastering the timing of rocket boosts will allow you to travel vast distances quickly.
Congratulations! You’ve now mastered the art of flying with fireworks in Minecraft, allowing you to travel faster and further with your elytra wings.
