FAQ
FAQ
How many gunpowder does a firework rocket need?
A rocket needs 1 paper and 1 gunpowder for flight, plus one firework star for the explosion. Up to 3 gunpowder extends flight.
What does more gunpowder do to a firework?
Each gunpowder section adds one flight tier (1 to 3), making the rocket fly higher and longer.
What does gunpowder do in a firework star?
In the star, gunpowder sets the explosion size tier: 1 to 3, with tier 3 the largest burst.
How do I add color and shapes to a firework?
Dye the star for color and add a fire charge for shape — burst, star, creeper, or ball — without changing its tier.
Can I use fireworks for Elytra flight?
Yes. A flight tier 3 rocket boosts an Elytra for the longest boost, so craft the fastest rocket before long flights.
