So I just randomly thought up a fun idea, that could just be another silly addition to Minecraft.
Fireworks!
They'd be made in a simple convenient recipe, just take some TNT and add a dye and boom. You get that color of firework!
Adding more than one dye (three max) to a TNT will make it have a combination of the colors.
The way fireworks would..Well...Work is that they shoot up 10-30 blocks and explode with some particle sprites that are colored. Fireworks would also never destroy blocks!
To change how far they go up, you simply right click on the firework and it would make a clicking noise that gets louder as the range gets higher, or something of the sort.
The model would just look like colored TNT, so go ahead and scare your friends into thinking you're griefing with red fireworks!
Example of Recipe:
And then you just take the product from that, and add another dye for multi-colored fireworks!
Again, these are just for recreational/aesthetic purposes, fireworks could really brighten up things. Say you just got done building a massive house with your friends. BOOM! Wait until dark and pop out some fireworks! Or maybe you're in a RP server? Well when opening your new restaurant pull out some fireworks for attention!
What do you guys think about this idea? I would really like another block to just mess around with and do no harm.
Couple of things I would suggest, maybe increase the yeild of fireworks you get per TNT, IE 9 fireworks per recipie instead of just the one (would make sense since there seams to be 9 sticks of Dyno in the bundle). Also, this COULD have a pratical use as well, use it to scare away/stun/distract mobs. Creepers/zombies/skellies would look up at the sky and be destracted for 10-30 seconds. Mobs such as cows sheep wolves pigs chickens would simply run away in fear of the explosion for a few blocks.
I could see a really fun mob trap useing redstone, pressure plates or switches, and fireworks, and your bunker/tower and some arrows.
Fireworks would be awesome. Instead of a clicking noise for the height selection, maybe it can be similar to a repeater so you can actually tell what the height is set to [although not knowing exactly isn't that big of a deal, it could be better being fairly random].

But fireworks would be GLORIOUS, like a huge explosion! So they'd have to cost something sir, plus how about we just keep it simple and put it in just for looks? I think the coding of making mobs run away would be difficult
Way too underpowered, no one would waste a whole TNT with this.
Instead of a TNT block, I would like to see a single piece of gunpowder.
I would waste a whole TNT on this, and from the positive feedback I'm assuming others would too. Fireworks can't be that cheap, then they lose their value, PLUS no one is really forcing you to use them:P They're kind of like lobster, expensive, but bought for a special event.

Full support!!
Minecraft needs more lulz.
