Obtaining

Book of Updraft has a 15% chance to be dropped by Evokers in Strongholds. This chance is boosted by 3% for every level of Looting, for a maximum of 21%. However due to the drop being randomly chosen between Book of Conveyance, Light and Updraft, this chance is about ⅓rd of this.

Librarians in End Villages can turn any Enchanted Book into Books of Updraft for 64 Emeralds.

Usage

Right-clicking gives its user immense vertical boost of about 22.5 blocks. Afterwards they are given the ability to glide for 7 seconds. After glide expires, Slow Falling is given until landing.

Glide can be cancelled earlier by sneaking.

This has a cooldown of 16 seconds, which starts counting after landing.

Tips

  • While gliding with an Elytra, the boost is about 50% stronger, which is useful for restoring height.
    • Boost closes the Elytra, but it can be reopened right afterwads. Remember that sneaking cancels the glide early!
  • Combining this book with Book of Conveyance makes up for an excellent mobility item combination.
  • Due to a bug with Levitation, being damaged during the 7 second glide will result in players being boosted upwards even further.

Trivia

  • The book's name is very similair to Tome of Updraft from Minecraft: Dungeons, however instead of pushing mobs around upwards it pushes players.
