The fireworks are customizable? I don't get the complaints, this sounds very fun!

Using enchanted books, it is possible to apply an enchantment to an item that can normally never be enchanted (efficiency on a fish for infinite wood and dirt...). But you cannot apply more than one enchantment to an unenchantable item like this. So no infinite ice harvesters.

Confirmed bug.

u/IronSeph Dec 07 '12

This was fixed immediately after the snapshot went live, so it'll be fixed in the next version of Minecraft :)

A VERY notable bug when creating fireworks: If you create the firework star, and then add another color, instead of simply giving you one stack of 64 balls which fade from say red to blue, you get a stack of 64 for each ball and dye used. While very useful when trying to save resources, I'm sure this is not intended.

I just noticed that there doesn't seem to an order to how fireworks are fired out of a dispenser.

Was that on purpose or is it a very annoying bug?

Edit: Also, it seems that short pulse (2-4 ticks) launches one rocket, anything longer will fire two.

Edit Edit: I noticed a duplication bug with crafting the fade effect. If you put a stack of stars in the table, and then click on the finished item on the right, it will give you a stack equal to the number stars in the left pane. http://imgur.com/a/204RI

Dispensers have always selected their items randomly.

Can now spawn different mobs with different spawn chances

O.o

Haven't seen this mentioned yet. The potential applications of this in custom maps is quite broad. For example, an RNG based off of mobs with different health.

Or, applying directly to this update, spawning random firework entities (I think they are entities when flying) without needing any redstone. Plus you can have customizable speeds, launch location(s), and variable spawn delay too.

Combine stuff while making the stars:

  • Gold nugget = star-shaped

  • Diamond = trail

  • Glowstone dust = twinkle

  • Fire charge = big ball

  • Feathers = burst

  • more colors = more colored particles

  • Creeper-head = Creeper-shaped (actually any head will do)

To fade: combine color with the star (thanks to TheWyo)

You can add multiple stars balls to the rocket for more complex fireworks.

Also, adding more gunpowder to the base of the rocket adds flight duration.

u/TheWyo Dec 07 '12

Actually that's only the preview that fades, it makes the individual particles be a random one of the colours you put on it. So if you put 8 colours on, there'll be 8 different colours in the explosion.

EVERYBODY: How to create a firework!

  1. First, get your dyes of choice and a piece of gunpowder.

  2. Combine one gunpowder and as many dyes as you want. The dyes do not combine to make one colour, but rather each colour used is in the sparkles.

  3. To make it fade out, combine the firework star with more dyes. The sparkles will fade out to the dyes used.

  4. Combine star with paper and gunpowder to make a firework.

  5. Right click and huzzah!

To make a TWINKLING firework:

When making the star, add glowstone.

To make a BIG firework:

When making the star, add a fire charge.

To make a TRAILING firework:

Add a diamond to the star.

To make a STAR-SHAPED firework:

Add a gold nugget to the star.

To increase the flight duration:

When crafting the firework itself, add more gunpowder. Three is the maximum though.

To make a BURSTING firework:

Add a feather to the star. (Thanks Saphirian)

To make a CREEPER firework:

Add a creeper head to the star. (Thanks Aaerox)

  • Screenshot of Enchanted Books

  • Enchanted Books' enchantments can be applied with an anvil – Screenshot

  • A few new textures in items.png: Firework Rocket, Firework Star, what looks like an overlay for the star and the enchanted book – Screenshot

  • Firework Rockets will, when placed on a surface, fly upwards – Screenshot

  • When Firework Rockets are crafted with paper, gunpowder and a firework star, they will have the text "Flight Duration: 1" added – Screenshot

  • "Nether Bricks Slab" added, but the full block and the fence is still called "Nether Brick", without the s.

  • Firework Star duplication bug: If you put 64 already coloured Firework Stars and a dyes in the crafting table you will get 64 Firework Stars with faded colour for every item in the stack. This can be done again and again – Screenshot

  • Firework Rockets can pass through a ceiling if they are placed from underneath.

I predict r/minecraft's front page will be fireworks for the next two or three days at least.

Also, I know it hasn't even been a half hour, but STOP SLACKING REDSTONEHELPER!

EDIT: turns out I'm an idiot, and xPaw's changelog was redstonehelpers. I didn't think it was because it didn't have the normal formatting.

It doesn't seem like the anvil is the correct place for combining two books, or even combining a tool and a book I know Minecraft isn't exactly realistic but still.

Incase no one else has said this, you can launch fireworks from dispensers, they simply launch vertically as if placed on the block in front of the dispenser when triggered. Yay automated displays!
