  2. Craft the items to form the firework star. This is a necessary component for the firework rocket.
  3. Experiment with making different types of firework stars. You can change how the explosion of the firework looks by using different crafting ingredients. Some can be mixed to produce different effects, but the ingredients which affect shape cannot be mixed.
    • Any dye can be used to produce different colors.
    • Make your fireworks look like creepers by adding a head.
    • Make your fireworks look like traditional bursts by adding a feather.
    • Make a more explosive burst by adding a fire charge.
    • Make your fireworks look like star burst fireworks by adding a gold nugget.
    • Make your fireworks sparkle by adding a glowstone.

  2. Craft the items together.
    • You only need 1 paper, 1 gunpowder, and 1 firework star to make a rocket. However, adding more gunpowder makes your rocket go higher.
  3. Use your rocket! Consider putting on a Make a Firework Show in Minecraft for your friends or for a celebration, such as the completion of a mansion.
