Firework stars are items used to determine the color, effect, and shape of firework rockets.

Obtaining[edit | edit source]

In Survival mode, firework stars are obtainable only through crafting. In Creative mode, they can be found in the Creative inventory. Note that only the generic version can be found in it.

Crafting[edit | edit source]

Ingredients	Crafting recipe	Description
Gunpowder + Matching Dye + Extra ingredients (optional)		Up to eight dyes can be added. One head, gold nugget, feather, or fire charge can be added. Both the diamond and the glowstone dust can be added with any of the other ingredients.
Matching Firework Star + Any Dye		Adds a "fade to color" effect to the firework star, overwriting any existing fades. Up to eight dyes can be added.

Usage[edit | edit source]

The only usage of firework stars is to create firework rockets. Using a firework star on rockets causes the player to take explosion damage when using them for flying with an elytra.

Crafting ingredient[edit | edit source]

Name	Ingredients	Crafting recipe	Description
Firework Rocket	Any Firework Star + Paper + Gunpowder	3	Up to three gunpowder can be used, which increases flight duration. Any remaining spaces can be filled with firework stars to combine various effects. All firework stars explode almost simultaneously when the rocket detonates.
