To make a blockhead use a jetpack, it must be [[Clothing#Wearing|worn]] on the upper body, replacing any [[Linen Shirt|shirt]], [[Leather Jacket|jacket]], or [[Armor|chest plate]] already there. Tapping a jetpack while it is in a blockhead's [[inventory]] will offer a button to wear it and displace anything already there; the displaced item will usually transfer to a regular inventory slot, but if the blockhead is in motion it may drop free. Alternately, drag-and-drop can be used to move a jetpack from inventory to worn.

There two methods of flying with a jetpack:
While worn, a jetpack will display as an icon adjacent to the blockhead's inventory display, whether that display is opened or closed. It will be located on the same row/column as the [[hand]] or clothing spaces.
*'''Manual flying''' allows a blockhead to be directed to any position by tapping on that spot. The blockhead may steer around obstacles and unrevealed areas, and will use [[door]]s, [[trapdoor]]s, and [[Elevator Shaft|elevators]] normally. [[Stairs]] and [[ladder]]s will be ignored. Wearing a jetpack and even flying does not inhibit the use of [[tool]]s, [[bed]]s, [[Crafting Surface|crafting surfaces]], or other [[items]]. This is similar to how a blockhead walks, using the path-finding algorithms to find the quickest route.
*'''Tilt flying''' is where the blockhead wearing the jetpack can be moved by tilting the device. The player may tilt the device forward, backward, left, right to move a blockhead in the x and y axis. This is similar to riding a [[donkey]] or a [[boat]].

When the jetpack icon is selected, it will give an option to "fly". Once this option is tapped, a menu will appear on top of the blockhead wearing the jetpack, giving two more options: "fuel" and "fly". Selecting "fuel" will refuel the jetpack at the expense of one fuel in inventory at a time. Selecting "fly" will allow the blockhead to be moved by tilting the play device.

The jetpack-wearing blockhead must be selected and already be flying to use tilt flying.


A blockhead using a jetpack travels slightly faster than one walking level using [[South Pole Boots Of Speed|south pole boots of speed]], but in any direction and without the need for a solid surface.

A jetpack also acts as a piece of [[armor]], protecting a blockhead from attacks and other damage as much as a piece of carbon fiber or titanium armor. Damage from these losses of health will wear out the jetpack.

A jetpack will slowly wear out (displayed as a green bar going red from right to left across the top of the icon, just like other wear bars) during use. It will consume fuel far faster than it wears out.
