    Be sure that you have all of the items needed to make this work. The items are:
    • 1 dispenser
    • 4 detector rails
    • 8 powered rails
    • 4 normal rails (for corners)
    • redstone
    • 1 minecart
    • 7 redstone torches
    • 1 lever
    • Fireworks to fill up dispenser.

    Put down the dispenser and fill with fireworks. Put redstone on all four sides of the dispenser. Attach detector rails to the redstone that's attached to the dispenser. Place powered rails on both sides of all the detector rails. Connect the sides with normal rails. You should now have a square with a dispenser in the middle, redstone connecting the dispenser to the detector rails, and powered rails on each side of the detector rails.

    Place redstone torches next to all but one of the powered rails. On the powered rail without a redstone torch, place down redstone connecting to it, leading away from the square. Place a lever that connects this redstone to the unpowered rail. Place a minecart on the unpowered rail and pull the lever.
    • If necessary, push the minecart to begin, or put an unpowered rail on a slope and put minecart on top of it, so when it is powered, it's already going one way.

    Is it possible to make a firework display a name?

    Community Answer
    Because of how fireworks and redstone work, this is most likely impossible.
  • Question
    I connected everything right, so why didn't it go through the repeaters?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    The repeaters might be facing the wrong way. The repeaters need to be facing the redstone into which they are going. To do this, face the way you want the redstone to repeat into, then place the repeater.

    Make sure you are using a dispenser, not a hopper. Hoppers drop the items; a dispenser will shoot the firework.
  • Question

    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    No. You can make fireworks in every version of Minecraft since 1.4.6., but fireworks are not available in 1.0.1.
  • Question
    How do I make it keep firing fireworks if it stops after the first one?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Just keep flipping the lever as fast as you can.
  • Question
    How can I prevent having to flip the lever over and over again?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    This only works if you keep flipping the lever. If you want to do this without flipping the lever a lot, I would recommend a redstone clock that is activated by a lever.

    You can't. However, you can shoot fireworks of multiple colors very close to each other, which will still show a good appearance.

Warnings

  • Make sure you have a lot of fireworks, because they'll go by quickly. And make sure you are using a dispenser, not a dropper.
    Thanks!
