Explosive Manoeuvres
I don't know my version or loader


This datapack requires Player Motion! Make sure to download that as well, or it will not work!
This datapack adds a new enchantment - "Rocket Jump" - for crossbows, which when applied allows for you to use firework rockets to... well, guess.
After getting launched by Rocket Jump, you will have far more control over your movement, getting accelorated into the direction you're looking in when you hold W. This makes it a very effective method of movement.
Unfortunately due to limitations in the methods im using, if the firework is alive for only a single tick it will not launch you, so you will need to jump and launch it quite high in the jump for it to work (or fire it into the ground a little ways away from you). Let's just say that the firework needs some time to charge before it can launch you, and call it intended.
You can find this enchant directly from the enchanting table with similar rarity to multishot.
Try not to die to fall damage, this can launch you quite high.
NOTE: This is currently untested in multiplayer, use at your own risk.
If you like this, you will probably also like my other movement-enchantment-focused datapack, Evasive Enchantments. Check it out!
If you have any issues, feel free to DM me @theai. on discord.
