Firework Rocket
A Firework Rocket is an item that was first seen in Snapshot 12w49a and was added in the Christmas update (1.4.6). Rockets are able to fade, shade, and have special effects. These can all be determined by the materials used in crafting the rocket. Fireworks can be customized into many different colors, sizes, and heights. Fireworks must be placed on a solid block from hand in order to launch them from the hand; this will cause them to go straight up, making a whistling sound and eventually a pop indicating the explosion. Fireworks can be shot from dispensers but will head straight up upon being released from the dispenser (this is only in Java Edition). In Bedrock Edition, if a dispenser is facing sideways the firework will go sideways. If a dispenser is facing down, the firework will go down. As of update 1.14, fireworks can be shot from a Crossbow. Players can also use a rocket to boost their elytra speed in flight.
Crafting[edit | edit source]
Adding a Firework Star to the recipe will enable the rocket to have an explosion. Firework Stars of different colors, shapes, and effects, can be combined when crafting a Firework Rocket to make a rocket with every aspect of the stars, without blending colors together. Adding more gunpowder to the recipe (1-3 gunpowder is all that can be used) will increase the height of the flight before the explosion. But it's currently not available in Minecraft 1.8.3
