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.

Once worn, a blockhead can be directed to any position in the [[Astronomy#Sky|sky]] by tapping on that spot. The blockhead may steer around obstacles and unrevealed areas (even as they are revealed because the path is set before the blockhead begins moving), but 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]].
There two methods of flying with a jetpack: 'manual target flying' and 'tilt flying (on a handhald device)'.
 
'''Manual flying''' allows a blockhead to be directed to any position in the [[Astronomy#Sky|sky]] 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]].
A blockhead using a jetpack travels approximately as fast as one walking level using [[South Pole Boots Of Speed]], but in any direction and without the need for a solid surface.
'''Tilt Flying''' is available only for handheld devices, where the blockhead wearing the jetpack can be moved by tilting the device.


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.

When the Jetpack icon is selected (extra square appears next to the "hand" square), it will give an option to "fly". Once this option is tapped, a menu will appear on top of the blockhead wearing the jetpack (see gallery below), 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 a device. Similar actions can be seen with a boat, where tilting the device from left to right will move the boat in that direction. For a jetpack, you may tilt the device forward, backward, left, right to control your blockhead in the x and y axis. It is an option to let your blockhead fly without selecting an airblock to float to.

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


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 faster than it wears out.
