About Minecraft Firework Designer

Design a Minecraft firework rocket and see the burst before you build it. Pick the explosion shape, choose as many colors as you like, add fade colors, and toggle the trail and twinkle effects. The preview updates instantly.

When you are happy, copy the /give command for your version, or follow the crafting recipe to make it in survival. The generator targets Java and Bedrock and uses the correct firework data format for each version.

How firework rockets work

A rocket combines paper with one to three gunpowder, which sets the flight duration, plus any firework stars that decide the explosion. The flight slider here maps straight to the number of gunpowder. Add a star and its shape, colors and effects are baked into the rocket.

Firework star shapes and effects

Choose from small ball, large ball, star, creeper or burst. Each non-default shape needs a crafting item (fire charge, gold nugget, mob head or feather), which the recipe lists. A diamond adds a trail and glowstone dust adds the twinkle effect.

Firework /give command

On Java the full firework is written into a single /give command, using item components on 1.20.5+ or the Fireworks NBT tag on older versions. Bedrock cannot embed firework data in a command, so you get the rocket plus the crafting recipe to build the design.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make a custom firework in Minecraft?
Design it here, then either copy the /give command for your version or follow the crafting recipe: craft a firework star from gunpowder, dyes and a shape item, then combine it with paper and gunpowder.
How do I change the firework color?
Click any colors in the Colors grid to add them to the star, and optionally pick fade colors. Each dye becomes part of the crafting recipe.
What does flight duration do?
It sets how long the rocket flies before exploding, from one to three, and equals the number of gunpowder used. Higher flight also gives more elytra boost.
Does this work on Bedrock?
Yes. Bedrock cannot put firework data in a command, so the designer gives you the crafting recipe to build the exact rocket.
Is the firework designer free?
Yes, it runs entirely in your browser with no sign-up.
