How to make fireworks in Minecraft with color

To make colored fireworks, first craft a firework star with 1 gunpowder and 1 dye of the color you want, then combine that star with paper and gunpowder to make the rocket. The color of the explosion comes from the dye used in the star, and you can add extra effects like fade, twinkle, or different blast shapes for more variety.

Quick Scoop

1. Craft a firework star:
   • 1 gunpowder.
   • 1 dye of any color.
2. Add the star to a firework rocket:
   • 1 paper.
   • 1 to 3 gunpowder.
   • 1 firework star.
3. Launch it:
   • Right-click on a block.
   • Use a dispenser.
   • Fire it from a crossbow.
   • Boost with elytra.

Color options

• One dye = one base explosion color.
• More than one dye can be added to a star for mixed colors.
• To make the color fade , combine the finished star with up to 8 more dyes.

Extra effects

You can customize the star before making the rocket:

• Fire charge = large ball shape.
• Mob head = creeper shape.
• Gold nugget = star shape.
• Feather = burst shape.
• Glowstone dust = twinkle effect.
• Diamond = trail effect.

Simple example

If you want a red firework:

1. Put 1 gunpowder and 1 red dye into the crafting grid to make a red firework star.
2. Craft a rocket with paper + gunpowder + that red star.
3. Launch it to see a red explosion.

Safety note

Fireworks in Minecraft can damage entities when used as explosive rockets, especially with multiple stars, so be careful in survival mode.

TL;DR: Dye goes into the firework star, and the star goes into the rocket. That’s what gives the explosion its color.
