- Enable commands
Enable cheats in single-player or use operator permissions on a server; otherwise
/givewill not execute. - Paste into a command block
T, then Ctrl+V. Chat messages longer than 256 characters will not be sent — instead, use a Command Block.
- Or build by hand
Without operator permissions, follow the crafting instructions in order. Add fade colors in a separate crafting step using the completed firework star.
What to know about fireworks
- The shape is set by one item in the Crafting Table. A fire charge makes a large ball, a gold nugget makes a star, a mob head makes a creeper face, and a feather makes a burst. Without a shape ingredient, you get a small ball.
- Fade color is added in the second crafting step — to an already-made star. You can't put everything in at once: you'll get a regular star, and the game won't explain why.
- The order of colors means nothing. They receive sparks mixed together: eight dyes are eight colors in one flash, not a transition from first to last.
- Firework colors are different from block colors. White in a firework rocket
#F0F0F0, and on wool and glass#F9FFFE. Numbers in commands are calculated according to the firework table. - Nine cells in the crafting table, and they are all divided equally. Eight dye items with gunpowder fill the crafting table completely — no space left for shapes, diamonds, or light
- Up to seven stars can fit in a rocket, but gunpowder cells are limited: with three gunpowder, stars cannot exceed five. Crafting yields three rockets at once.
- A rocket with stars causes damage. Elytra accelerate with empty rockets — with stars, each acceleration deals damage to the player who launched it
- Item syntax changed in 1.20.5. The color was stored in an NBT (
FireworksAfter that — in the componentfireworks. The command in the wrong format generates a regular rocket, saying nothing.
Crafted rockets support flight durations up to three, using at most three gunpowder. This generator stays within recipes that can also be made by hand.
Frequently asked questions
How to make a firework rocket with a specific shape?
Choose the shape with one ingredient: fire charge for a large ball, gold nugget for a star, mob head for a creeper face, or feather for a burst. No extra ingredient produces a small ball.
How to set the firework rocket fade color?
Second attempt at the crafting table: to an already prepared star, add a dye. Placing everything at once results in a star with no fade.
How many stars can fit in one rocket?
Up to seven in format, but nine cells in the crafting table, and gunpowder takes its own space: with three gunpowder items in a rocket, five stars can be placed.
