How to Make Firework Rocket in Minecraft

Craft a Firework Rocket from 1 Gunpowder and 1 Paper. Add more gunpowder for longer flight, or Firework Stars for colorful explosions.

You'll need

  • 1× Gunpowder
  • 1× Paper

Station / tools

  • Crafting Table

Yields: 3 Firework Rockets per craft

Step by step

  1. 1

    Basic rocket

    Combine 1 Paper and 1 Gunpowder to make 3 Firework Rockets with flight duration 1.

  2. 2

    Longer flight

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

  3. 3

    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.
