Working Minecraft Fireworks (Abandoned)

Description
Attention!
You need a separate addon that adds the rocket model! You can use the Unofficial Minecraft Model Pack or Minecraft 3D - Firework Rocket for this. The latter is less than 20 times the size of this addon, in case you're desperate for disk space.



I made this because I absolutely suck at making PyroTeknix fireworks. This is definitely for a special occasion, but... probably not any time this year honestly.

Includes sounds and textures that aren't ripped straight from Minecraft - textures were acquired from Faithful Team[faithful.team] and font from dafont[www.dafont.com]. The sounds are also different but very hard to discern from the original sounds.

How to Make Fireworks
This addon adds an entity called the Firework Launcher, under Minecraft in the Entities tab. When using it for the first time you'll get to the Firework Selection menu. There are no fireworks yet, so click on "Create New Rocket" to start making your firework.

Each rocket can have any number of Firework Stars that control the actual shapes that the rocket can make. However, you can make a rocket without firework stars - simply put a name for the rocket and you're done.

To make a firework star you need to click on "Create New Star" and put in at least one color. Currently there is no delay between each firework star.

Once you're done making the rocket you can click its name in the Firework Selection menu to tell the Firework Launcher to use the rocket. Now when using the launcher it will fire your rocket. If you want to edit the launcher, simply crouch down before using it.

Note that rockets are saved on your local machine - you'll still see the fireworks you had made for different servers. They are even customizable and deletable while on a different server. Just don't burn your data folder and your customized fireworks will be fine.

Known Issues
Currently the Trail, Flicker and Color Fade effects cause a slight amount of lag. I really don't know how to fix this, sorry.

The Firework Launcher causes GMod to crash when saved or duplicated. This has been fixed, but let me know if this happens again.

Disclaimer
All Minecraft assets belong to Mojang AB. I do not own any of them.



If you like my work, you have the option to donate on Ko-fi[ko-fi.com] so that I can keep working for another day.

You now can also trade to me a few of your items as a donation. Every little bit helps!

However, as a friendly reminder, please don't send me friend requests regarding my addons. If you have any issues please use the comment section. Thanks!

Too much effort for so little gained and this has become an unmaintainable mess. I will need to rewrite the entire addon from scratch to continue working on this.

That said, if there's enough people who actually want a remake, I might go through with that hassle.

I'm pretty busy with other things at the moment. I might try to do it in the future though.

Hey could you make a cool feature with the minecraft 1.16 sweps crossbow so you can shoot your fireworks with it?

the fire work is an error :\

Sorry for responding late, yeah the handheld rocket doesn't work properly and I can't seem to figure out fixing the numerous bugs of it.

It will still be in beta until I manage to fix them.

handheld rocket sometimes blows you up when you shoot in diagonal directions
