What Are Firework Rockets in Minecraft For?

Understanding the uses of fireworks isn’t rocket science: they create decorative explosions that look nice.

On top of that, if you aim some fireworks at your enemies, the fire charge effect will deal damage to them.

Although the explosion effects (which can be enhanced using a gold nugget, glowstone dust and other ingredients) are pretty bright, they don’t provide as much light level as a Minecraft Lantern, for instance.

How to Make Fireworks in Minecraft

Let’s make a firework displays all over the sky! There are types of Minecraft fireworks that you can create in this game.

Although the crafting recipe of a, for instance, star-shaped firework is different from the one used for a rocket-shaped firework, they are actually pretty similar.

Without further ado, let’s learn how to do them!

1. Make a Firework Rocket

So, let’s start simply by filing your creative inventory with firework rockets! This is the standard firework that explodes after a short flying duration, so let’s do them.

Step 1: Find the Required Materials

In order to make a firework rocket, you will need two main ingredients:

• One paper, that can be obtained from sugar cane in places where flowing water is the common rule;
• One gunpowder, and you can obtain one gunpowder by simply killing a Creeper.

Step 2: Go to the Crafting Menu

Once you have these two ingredients for the firework rocket, you need to go to a crafting table.

The Crafting Table in Minecraft is a fundamental tool for this crafting process, so you can’t skip it.

Now, put the paper in the middle of the second row and the gunpowder right next to it.

This will give simple firework rockets with a rather short flight duration.

That’s how you make a firework rocket!

2. Crafting a Firework Star

Now, let’s level up things a little bit and let’s craft a firework star.

A firework star determines the burst effect, twinkle effect, color, and other factors of your fireworks.

Launching fireworks star directly into enemies will cause more damage than simple rockets, so you can’t sleep on firework stars.

Step 1: Find Red, Blue, or more Dyes

So, do you like red dye, white dye, or another dye?

If, for instance, you select red dye, then your new firework star will be red!

In any case, a firework star will also mold its shape or burst effect by adding additional ingredients.

Step 2: Craft Firework Stars

Now, on the crafting table, put gunpowder next to the dye. The result will be a firework star - elementary, right?

Well, this isn’t the end of it.

Rockets and stars will explode indeed, but you can modify these parameters by putting additional ingredients on the crafting menu.

Improve the Firework Explosion

Do you want your rocket or star to make a big explosion?

Add additional gunpowder to the recipe!

Adding more gunpowder will cause a bigger and more dangerous explosion.

Just go to the crafting table and put a piece of paper in the middle box.

Then, you can add up to three gunpowder next to the paper and the firework star.

The result will be a rocket that will cause a loud mess in the Overworld!

Make a Firework Rocket Fly Higher

Do you want your rockets to go outside the world boundary? Then do the following:

• Don’t make a start - instead, just put the paper and three gunpowder on the crafting tool;
• Since you only have gunpowder and paper, the resulting item will be a rocket;
• Move this rocket to your inventory.

This simple rocket won’t cause much damage and also won’t beautifully explode, but it will go as far as it can.

If you play on a server, you can make fireworks go higher by using command blocks.

That’s all you need to know about Minecraft fireworks!

Let’s light up the Overworld with beautiful lights, joy and celebration!
