Independence Fireworks — Bedrock Add-On

A 4th of July mega-pack for Minecraft Bedrock Edition: 125 custom items, 60 custom projectile entities, a redstone-triggered launcher block, a firework merchant, and a scripted custom-message firework.

Install

1. Tap Independence_Fireworks.mcaddon on your device (or in Chrome/Files app) — Minecraft should open and import it automatically as two packs (Behavior + Resource).
2. Create or edit a world → Behavior Packs and Resource Packs → activate both "Independence Fireworks" packs.
3. Turn on "Beta APIs" and "Additional Modding Capabilities" in Experiments when creating the world — this pack uses @minecraft/server scripting for the launcher, sparklers, fountains and the custom-message firework, so it won't fully work without those toggled on.
4. Get items with /give @s fw:<item_id> (see the ID list below) or find the Firework Merchant, who rarely spawns near villages (/summon fw:merchant also works for testing).

What's in it

Smoke bombs — smoke_bomb_{small,medium,big}_{red,white,blue,green,purple,black} (18 items). Thrown; release colored smoke that lingers longer and wider the bigger the size.

Grenades — grenade_{color} (6). Thrown, ~1.6s fuse, release a big cloud of colored smoke.

Poppers — popper_{color} (6). Throw at the ground for an instant pop + puff.

Rainbow smoke bombs — rainbow_smoke_bomb_{color} (6). Smoke + confetti burst.

Sparklers — sparkler, sparkler_morning_glory. Hold and right-click repeatedly for hand sparks (uses durability).

Spark fountains / tanks / fire fountain / catherine wheel — spark_fountain_gold, spark_fountain_silver, spark_fountain_rainbow, tank_small, tank_medium, tank_big, fire_fountain, catherine_wheel. Right-click to place a timed spark/particle show (4–14 seconds depending on item) at the block you're looking at.

Parachutes — parachute_{color} (6). Thrown, float down slowly, release a soft colored puff on landing.

Super Boom — super_boom. Thrown, arcs upward, then an ear-splitting layered boom (no block damage).

Firework Launcher (block) — fw:launcher. Place it, right-click to open its 9-slot inventory, load it with any firework_* item or super_boom, then send it any redstone signal. Everything inside launches in a rapid volley automatically.

Note: the launcher's volley is a scripted visual/audio simulation of a launch+burst timed to look right — Bedrock's scripting API doesn't expose spawning a "real" flying rocket that keeps an item's exact stored explosion shape/color, so this is the closest reliable approximation. If you want each firework's exact look, throwing it by hand (or a vanilla dispenser) still uses the real vanilla firework physics.

Firework Stand (block) — fw:stand. A 27-slot storage block themed as a market stall — stock it yourself with fireworks to display/sell manually alongside the merchant.

Firework Merchant — fw:merchant. A villager-based trader (rare natural spawn near villages) with 3 trade tiers: basic fireworks/smoke bombs → grenades/kits → Super Boom, Grand Finale, kits, and the Custom Firework, all for emeralds.

Firework Kits — kit_starter, kit_patriot, kit_party, kit_grand. Right-click to open and receive the bundle of fireworks inside (consumes the kit).

Custom Message Firework — custom_firework. Sneak + right-click to type a message (pops up a text box). Right-click normally to launch it — a burst plays and your message floats in the air above where it went off for a few seconds.

30 signature/named fireworks using real vanilla firework physics (colors, shapes, trails, flicker) — thrown by hand for the authentic vanilla rocket arc + burst: firework_star_shell, firework_creeper, firework_burst_red, firework_twinkle_blue, firework_trail_purple, firework_double_burst, firework_rainbow, firework_mega, firework_mini, firework_silent, firework_roman_candle, firework_comet, firework_phoenix, firework_willow, firework_palm_tree, firework_ring, firework_heart, firework_star_shower, firework_screamer, firework_salute_cracker, firework_gold_glitter, firework_ocean_wave, firework_orange_blossom, firework_pink_sparkle, firework_midnight, firework_triple_star, firework_falling_leaves, firework_liberty, firework_thunderclap, firework_grand_finale.

Everything else you asked for (the "30 more" bucket): dynamite (summons real TNT on a fuse), firecracker_string, chain_firecracker, sky_lantern, confetti_popper, party_popper, confetti_cannon, flash_bang, flare_{red,white,green}, distress_flare, flare_gun, flare_ammo, glow_torch, bottle_rocket_{color} (6), glow_stick_{color} (6), firework_arrow_{color} (6), mortar_shell, aerial_repeater, firework_crate, merchant_token.

Honest limitations (given Bedrock's engine constraints)

• Icons/textures are simple, clean placeholder art generated procedurally (colored shapes), not hand-painted pixel art — everything is fully game-ready, just easy to reskin later if you want a fancier look. Same for the launcher/stand block textures.
• A handful of "flavor" items (glow sticks, firecracker strings, mortar shells, aerial repeater, merchant token) are simpler collectible/throwable items rather than having fully unique mechanics — Bedrock doesn't have a good way to give 150 items each a truly bespoke system without a much larger scripting layer.
• The "firework stand" is a stockable stall block + a rare-spawning merchant, not a generated world structure (Bedrock world-gen structures need .mcstructure files and jigsaw rules, which is a much bigger separate project if you want that later).
• Trade table balancing is a first pass — easy to tweak in BP/trading/fw_merchant_trades.json.

File map

• BP/ — behavior pack (items, entities, blocks, trading, spawn rules, scripts/main.js)
• RP/ — resource pack (icons, particles, block textures, lang file)
• Both are also zipped individually as .mcpack files if you'd rather import them separately.
