For more advanced designs you can check out Silent Whispers video on youtube, he has several different ones in this video. If you haven’t built one of these before give it a try, they are simple and quite helpful. So after a few disasters we made a wider version with two cobwebs to allow multiple launches. With the lower render distance since Minecraft did the 1.18 update we have to stick close together and taking turns to launch can delay or get someone lost. Many times when we are going on a longer journey my kids will follow me as we fly. While this isn’t required it’s fun to have multiple cobweb drop areas allowing multiple people to launch at the same time. I like the look of trap doors around the cobweb but stairs or regular blocks look good as well I like to scatter them along areas we travel frequently as well to give a boost when needed. Here are a few different designs we’ve used in different areas. You can always just have a single stair block with the cobweb to drop into but that can look pretty basic. Be sure to leave the gap at the front to allow clearance when launching. My son’s favorite thing is to jump into the cob web and let his elytra wings flap as he sinks down, which is pretty entertaining to watch. With these simple cobweb and stair designs they can just drop into the web, hit the jump button, and then use a rocket to easily launch. If they are playing the mobile edition of Minecraft on a tablet or phone it can be extremely hard to get launched. On a PC getting a jump launch isn’t too hard but for a kid it can be a little difficult.

Elytra launchers can be a life saver just on their own but are even better when playing with kids.
