Did you miss out on all the colorful lights booming in the sky? Well, who needs real-life fireworks when you can make them in-game?ย Minecraftย gives you the chance to bring the celebration into their world once you figure out the firework recipe. And it’s more than worth making. You can use them for pure celebration on your own or with friends. Fireworks can even help out in combat or when you’re using Elytra. So, let’s figure out how to craft fireworks so we can get to theย fun parts.

Crafting Fireworks in Minecraft

With how fun fireworks can be, it’s perfect then that Minecraft gives you some wiggle room when you make them. There are several variations, allowing you varied forms of celebration from different colors to a Creeper-shaped firework. But before we get into these variations, let’s address the basic methods of making them.

To make a firework rocket in Minecraft, you need the following items:

  • Paper: Loot or craft from Sugarcane
  • Gunpowder: Loot

You can add a total of 3x Gunpowder to the Minecraft firework recipe. The more you add, the greater the duration of it. Note that the above is only the recipe for the firework rocket. There are no explosion effects. Those only come when you add a Firework Star to the recipe.

When you want the epic firework displays we all know and love to light up your screen in Minecraft, you’ll need Firework Stars. You can craft a Firework Star using Gunpowder and dyes. Just our luck that we can use multiple dyes, mixing and matching to highlight various colors. With the Firework Star, go through the same recipe of Gunpowder and Paper to make a stunning sky display.

Want to spruce things up even more? There are additional items you can toss in to switch up the overall appearance of the fireworks in Minecraft:
