A firework star is a crafting ingredient used to create explosive firework rockets, which deal damage based on the number of stars added. Firework stars can be crafted using various combinations of dyes and other items, which affect the appearance, colors and visual effects of the resulting explosions.
Obtaining
[edit | edit source]In Survival mode, firework stars are obtainable only through crafting. In Creative mode, the generic version[Java Edition only] or all 16 color variants[Bedrock Edition only] can be found in the Creative inventory.
Crafting
[edit | edit source]| Ingredients | Crafting recipe | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Gunpowder + Matching Dye + Extra ingredients (optional) |
                       |
More dyes (up to a total of eight) can be added for a mixed color. One head, gold nugget, feather, or fire charge can be added. Both the diamond and the glowstone dust can be added with any of the other ingredients. |
| Matching Firework Star + Any Dye |
|
Adds a "fade to color" effect to the firework star, overwriting any existing fades. Up to eight dyes can be added. |
Usage
[edit | edit source]The only usage of firework stars is to create firework rockets. Using a firework star on rockets causes the player to take explosion damage when using them for flying with an elytra.
Crafting ingredient
[edit | edit source]| Name | Ingredients | Crafting recipe | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Firework Rocket | Any Firework Star + Paper + Gunpowder |
