This is for the new touch controls for Minecraft PE. If you wear an elytra and press the crouch button with fireworks in the off-hand, it will not work. For example, if you put a shield in your off-hand, pressing crouch will use the shield instead of crouching. Yet if you put fireworks in your off-hand while wearing an elytra and press crouch, it will not use the fireworks instead of crouching. When you are holding fireworks in your off-hand, then crouch while wearing an elytra, it should use the fireworks.
How to do this:
Put on an elytra, put a shield in your off-hand, jump off a cliff and fly around, then press the crouch/down-arrow to use the shield. Notice how you can use the shield.

The fireworks in the off-hand is purely for the crossbows. It is not usable by crouching like shields. (Honestly though they should add this)
I switched back to the original controls and it isn’t working anymore. This is so weird because I used to use this feature all the time and when I switched to the new controls I was disappointed that it didn’t work on these controls. Maybe it was a bug or something and it wasn’t supposed to be there in the first place, but regardless I want it back into the game and added to the new controls.
Its not a bug. Its not a feature. That is why, it does not work. It would be nice if it existed, but it does not.
I am an experienced Minecraft player and have seen Minecraft change over the years. I have even speedrun the game. My current gamerscore is 1055 which at least proves I have experience in this game.
Using fireworks in the off-hand with an elytra was in the game before I switched to the new controls, and until today I thought that this was officially part of the game. Unfortunately, there is no way I can revert my game back to an older version to use this feature or bug, or whatever it was.
I don’t have any add-ons that do this and it would be pretty laggy if there was one that did this. I hardly ever use add-ons and most of the add-ons I do use, I make myself. This feature was something I used a lot similar to how you would use walking or running a lot. It wasn’t just something found in one world, I could do this in any world, survival or creative, add-ons or no add-ons; it didn’t make a difference. This is like taking away the ability to walk and telling someone they could never walk to begin with. I have no idea if anyone else experienced this strange bug or whatever it was, but it was undoubtedly 100% in the game before these recent updates.
After doing some research, I discovered that when this feature worked, Mojang was experimenting with the off-hand on Bedrock trying to improve its functionality, so maybe there was an uncommon bug meaning it was not widespread allowing some players to use fireworks in their off-hand with an elytra. However, it is possible that it would only impact certain devices, games, and versions.
