Skyfire Starfighter

Quickstart

1. Craft a Skyfire Starfighter at a crafting table. The recipe unlocks when you obtain an iron ingot.

In Creative mode, you can also search for Skyfire Starfighter in the inventory. 2. In an open area, hold the item and use it on a block. The starfighter appears beside the block and mounts you automatically; the item is not consumed. 3. Look where you want to fly. The starfighter accelerates on its own. While mounted, tap or right-click to fire, or press Jump. Sneak to dismount.

Overview

The starfighter is a one-seat flying vehicle with no gravity. It keeps building speed while you ride, up to 120 blocks per second. A speed and firing readout appears on screen while mounted.

How To Use

• Fly: Aim your view in the direction you want to travel and use your usual mounted movement controls to steer.
• Fire: Tap or right-click, or press Jump, to launch a pair of laser bolts from the wingtips. The readout shows Tap: Fire Lasers and the firing cooldown.
• Dismount: Use your usual Sneak control.

Riding switches the view to third person and hides your character and equipment while you pilot.

Abilities And Mechanics

Laser bolts travel toward your aim. A hit deals 4 damage and knockback, then triggers a radius-4 explosion that breaks blocks but does not cause fire.

Progression And Strategy

There are no upgrade steps to unlock. Start in a clear space, since the starfighter accelerates continuously; line up your shots carefully to avoid blasting terrain you want to keep.
