To make a basic firework in Minecraft, players will need one gunpowder and one piece of paper. However, if you want to make a firework with different effects, colors, and explosions, you will need to create a firework star and add special items to the recipe.
The main types of fireworks you can create will require firework stars that come in either a small or large shape. To make these firework stars, you will need a dye, gunpowder, as shown below.

The color of the firework will also depend on the type of dye used, so if you want to make a red firework, use red dye, and blue for blue fireworks vice versa. Here's a list of all of the types of fireworks players can make and the dyes that are required.
