How to Make a Jetpack in Minecraft (Command Block Tutorial)
Minecraft Java Edition 1.21+ and 26+ – Shift Jetpack System using Scoreboard
Want to create a Jetpack in Minecraft like a mod, but using only commands?
In this tutorial you will learn how to make a working jetpack system that lets players fly by holding Shift, using Command Blocks and scoreboard detection.
This works in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21+ and 26+ and includes levitation, slow falling and sound effects, perfect for RPG maps, minigames and custom adventure worlds.
Let's start by creating the jetpack scoreboard
It will be used to gain score whenever we press Shift
scoreboard objectives add jetpack minecraft.custom:minecraft.sneak_time
Place 4 command blocks lined up together (facing the same direction)
The first one will be a Repeat command block set to Always Active
The others will be Chain command blocks, which must also be set to Always Active
In the Repeat command block, enter this command
effect give @a[scores={jetpack=1..},x_rotation=-90..80] levitation 1 15 true
It applies the levitation effect whenever we press Shift
In the Chain command blocks, enter the following commands in this order
effect give @a[scores={jetpack=1..},x_rotation=81..90] slow_falling 1 4 true
execute at @a[scores={jetpack=1..}] run playsound entity.wither.shoot master @a ~ ~ ~ .03 .85
scoreboard players reset @a[scores={jetpack=1..}] jetpack
Basically, the first one prevents fall damage with slow_falling, the second plays the sound, and the third resets the score
Just press and hold Shift to have fun!
