Tired of all of those jetpack mods that use entities, use alternate modes of flight, require Education Edition to be turned on, or just don't work? Try this one on for size.This Bedrock Addon implements a series of jetpacks using a simple mechanic. Hold the jetpack in your hand to turn it on. Hold spacebar to climb, hold shift to drop, and use normal movement keys to move in any general direction. It's as close to creative flight as you can get without turning on creative.Recipes are simple and are easy to find in the menu like any other item to craft. Fuel is made by cooking redstone blocks or by crafting it from redstone and coal.
Select version for changelog:
The main photo for this addon has been updated to be more reflective of the purpose of the addon.
The installation instructions have been updated to clarify some gotchas.
As to wearing on the player's back, if you move to 3rd person, you will see the jetpack is indeed on your back. You must have the item in your hand because that is the control stick to fly. You should be able to put it in your off hand and still fly, but the need for it to be in one of your hands was intentional.
Finally, the climb speed of the player climbing ladders, scaffolding, vines, etc., is a fixed value that appears to not be modifiable. If I ever find a way to modify that, the climb speed will be improved.
