Step by step
- 1
Basic rocket
Combine 1 Paper and 1 Gunpowder to make 3 Firework Rockets with flight duration 1.

Longer flight
Use 2 or 3 Gunpowder with the Paper for flight duration 2 or 3 — important for boosting an Elytra.

Add explosions
Include Firework Stars (crafted from gunpowder + dye, shaped with extras) to add colored bursts. Our Firework Designer builds the command for you.
Tips
- Firework Rockets with no stars are the standard way to fly with an Elytra.
- A rocket with stars fired from a Crossbow becomes a damaging projectile.
