The new fireworks have released in a snapshot! But do you think they are too plain? Or do they just don't do enough stuff? Check the Poll above and comment if you have any new ideas!

[xSatuim]

I think there fine
and there literally 10000 combinations
but i've voted.

[romangvk]

I think the fireworks are cool enough already, but if I had to choose, I would say multi-colored.

[vadagar]

Lol, there are already multi-colored fireworks, when you make one of the firework balls (I can't remember what their name is officially) and you add in, say red, so it is a red firework, before making it, just add another dye in, like blue, so the recipe contains a red dye and a blue dye and a gunpowder, and when you make that into a firework the firework will be red and blue when it explodes.
You can even take that firework ball (before it is an actual firework) and add another dye to it so the recipe would be a firework ball and (for example) and orange dye, now when the firework made from that is used it will explode (for example) red and blue, then fade to orange.

EDIT: More on the poll, what do you mean by holiday fireworks? And if you want a firework fuse/automatic firework trigger just use dispensers, they will dispense fireworks right in front of them when they get powered.

As for the firework cannon and fuse and automatic you should know that you can fire them out of dispensers. So basically that fits all three. Also, as previously stated multicolor is already thing. Hell you can make them fade to another color if you want as well.

Apparently people are voting for new features when they haven't even messed around with the current ones very much though, because people continue to vote mostly for the multicolored option.

I love how half of the options you gave in your poll are either already implemented or totally senseless

Multi-colored fireworks: It's there in the recepy already

Automatic firework trigger: Make redstone clock and attach to distencer

Firework fuse: It's there in the recepy already if you mean flight time, other wise use delay on a dispenser

Holiday fireworks: Main issue here is that minecraft doesn't have holidays

Firework cannons: It's there, aka dispensers

Infinite fireworks (enchanted w/ Infinite I?): overpowered? just to remind you a bow has durability, fireworks don't.

Spawn entities when explodes: What entities are there to spawn besides mobs (overpowered and senseless) minecarts, boats falling blocks like sand (senseless as well)

Multi-colored: one firework as bunches of colors.
Holiday fireworks: A special firework show that uses certain colors to match the holiday
Dispenser trigger: dispensers look ugly

Entities like falling sand/gravel can bury your enemies!

Whoa, whoa, whoa- chill, guys.
It's just fireworks, they don't need to shoot lasers and spawn new planets or whatever...

Fireworks that shoot lasers… That is one of the very few ideas that a keyboard is incapable of expressing my astonishment.

You must have spent all of 2 minutes playing the snapshot. I figured out immediately that you can make multicolored fireworks. Did you not think to try adding MORE THAN ONE DYE to the recipe of making a firework star? Hell, you can add dye in after, with just a firework star, and get a "fade" effect on colors. Or you can even have more than one firework star per rocket -- I've done a blue twinkling star with an orange large ball with trail.

Maybe you should try playing with these snapshots more before you start asking for requests that already exist.

No disrespect, but, really, your "suggestions" are already there, or aren't even logical.

This image will probably blow your mind:



As for everything else it is either already implemented as well, or is just plain stupid.

It blew mine, at least. That's amazing. Absolutely amazing.

[fugue2005]

what i want is the ability to recraft fireworks.

I.E. put a large red firework star in a crafting table with lightstone dust adds sparkles.

like how it allows you to add fades.

[haxjagarn]

Something I would like would be fireworks that glow x-amount of seconds while they fall down to earth again, like the look of an emergency flare.

OK, I will remove the multi-firework option.

[Claustric]

The only feature I think I'd suggest for fireworks, is an option to make the firework itself last longer. Perhaps the more glowstone you add, the longer it stays in the sky with twinkling. That's about it. Otherwise, it's perfectly fine as it is.

[kyleford2k10]

I think the only thing that's missing from these fireworks is the fuse. As soon as you place it on the floor it's already fired up into the air. You should be able to place them on the ground so you can setup a display, then light them one by one with a flint and steel.
