How Firework Rocket Protection Works on the Ground

Carrying firework rockets in your hotbar or off-hand is essential for powered Elytra flight, but accidentally right-clicking on the ground normally wastes rockets by setting them off against blocks—or worse, dealing blast damage if you crafted them with firework stars. Elytra Assistant prevents accidental firework use whenever your wings are put away.

How the Restriction Behaves

• When your Elytra is unequipped: Holding a firework rocket and pressing Use Item/Place Block (Right-Click by default) is blocked by the mod. Clicking blocks, chests, doors, or air while wearing your chestplate will not consume or launch the rocket.
• When your Elytra is equipped: Firework rockets work normally, letting you right-click in mid-air to boost your flight speed as usual.

Launching Fireworks on Purpose

If you ever notice your firework rockets refusing to fire when you are trying to set off a decorative display on the ground, check your chest armor slot:

1. Press ~ (or open your inventory with E) to swap from your chestplate to your Elytra.

2. With the Elytra equipped, right-click the ground to launch your decorative fireworks.

3. Press ~ again afterward to put your chestplate back on and restore accidental-click protection.
