This type of firework rocket will create fireworks in the shape of a burst that is black in color. Since our crafting recipe used 1 gunpowder, the firework rocket has a flight duration of 1.

You can change the duration of the firework rocket by changing the amount of gunpowder used to craft the firework rocket.

For example:

  • If you use 1 gunpowder, the flight duration will be 1.
