What is Firework Rocket in Minecraft?
A Firework Rocket is a fun and useful item in Minecraft. Its most well known use is for creating spectacular firework displays. When you launch a Firework Rocket, it flies up into the sky and can explode into a beautiful pattern of colors and shapes, depending on how it was crafted. This is perfect for celebrating a special occasion or just lighting up the night sky. However, the Firework Rocket has another, even more important use: it is the fuel for flying with an elytra. When you are gliding with an elytra, using a Firework Rocket gives you a powerful boost, allowing you to fly through the air for long distances at high speeds. This makes it one of the best items for late game travel, turning you into a human jet.
How to get Firework Rocket in Minecraft
To get a Firework Rocket, you need to craft it. The basic recipe requires one piece of paper and one to three pieces of gunpowder. You can get paper by crafting it from sugar cane. Gunpowder can be obtained by defeating Creepers, Ghasts, or witches. On a crafting table, place the paper and gunpowder in a line. The amount of gunpowder you use determines the flight duration of the rocket. One gunpowder gives a short flight, while three gives a long flight. This basic rocket will not create an explosion; it will just fly up and disappear. To make a decorative firework, you first need to craft a firework star. A firework star is made with gunpowder, a dye, and optional extra ingredients like a diamond for a trail effect or a mob head for a creeper face shape. Then, you craft the Firework Rocket with paper, gunpowder, and your firework star.
How to use Firework Rocket in Minecraft
To launch a Firework Rocket for a display, simply place it on a block by right clicking. It will shoot up into the sky and explode if it was crafted with a firework star. You can also fire them from a crossbow or a dispenser for more complex shows. The more exciting use is for flying with an elytra. To do this, you need to be wearing an elytra in your chestplate slot. Jump from a high place and press the jump key again in mid air to start gliding. While you are gliding, hold a Firework Rocket in your hand and right click. This will consume the rocket and give you a powerful speed boost, propelling you forward. You can use multiple rockets to fly for as long as you want. Be careful not to use a rocket crafted with a firework star, as it will explode and damage you when you use it for flying.
