Magic Brooms FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I start flying on a broom?
Craft or find a broom, then right-click while holding it to mount. Once mounted, use your jump key to ascend and sneak to descend, with standard movement keys for directional control.
What's the difference between the seven broom types?
Each elemental broom family (Magic, Fire, Ice, Lightning, Ender, Grove, and Tide) has unique spell scroll abilities you can use while flying, such as fire rings, lightning strikes, or frost storms.
Do I need to find a magical catalyst or can I craft one?
Magical catalysts are crafted items—check your guides on crafting your first broom for the specific recipe based on which element you want.
Can I use spell scrolls while flying on any broom?
You can equip spell scrolls while riding any broom, but the spells you cast depend on your broom's element type.
How do I make my broom faster?
Use the Broom Assembly Bench to add optional upgrades to your broom, which will improve its speed and overall performance.
What happens if I fall off my broom mid-flight?
You'll take fall damage like normal—brooms don't provide Creative mode flight, so always be careful about your height and have a safe landing plan.
Can I store multiple brooms and switch between them?
Yes, craft or place multiple brooms and use Broom Racks to display and organize your collection in your base for easy access.
Do brooms work in the Nether or End?
Brooms function in all dimensions, though the Ender broom may have special interactions in the End—experiment to see how each element performs in different biomes.
What's the point of the Broom Assembly Bench instead of regular crafting?
The Assembly Bench lets you build your broom piece by piece and watch it assemble, plus it's the only way to add upgrades to finished brooms.
Do brooms have durability or fuel requirements?
Check your specific broom's properties in-game—some brooms may have durability or special requirements depending on their element type.
