How to Make a Rocket Launcher in Minecraft 1.20 | OP Firework Crossbow 

This video seems to be blowing up again. If your new, here's a playlist of my best tutorials: ru-vid.com/group/PL6UMd1LBpqkplNKj95x7oWQd3ILuOQQFm

I was not aware of Fire Charges giving an added blast radius. Definitely going to use that for my next firework rockets. I like adding Gold Nuggets into mine as well for the aesthetic effect. Also, an Iron farm is a great source of Red Dye from the Poppies that drop from it. Much easier than scavenging bones from Soul Sand Valleys to Bonemeal flowers. You can even turn excess Poppies into Bonemeal if you want more color variety from the flowers.

Due to how damage works on Minecraft (Java), adding Multishot doesn't increase damage but increases damage area. The thing is that when one firework hits you, you enter into the red damage animation, which actually are invulnerability frames that last 0.5 seconds, so you're not receiving extra damage from the other 2 fireworks. The only way you can add more damage while being in the red animation is receiving damage greater than the first one, and in that case it doesn't stack, it overwrites the smaller one lol Still kinda deadly having 9 crossbows against people without the correct armor set

I know how we're going to defeat the warden

You seem knowledgeable, and I like how you didn’t try to make this into a 10 min video. Subscribed

Great video. I never used crossbows before because I didn’t know the rockets did additional damage. I thought it just looked cool. Normal power 5 bows are generally better in my opinion, but this changes that! I’ll for sure have to try this out.

I knew this ages ago. I use it as my main weapon in late game when i have some farms providing me decent amount of meterials for fireworks so i can spam rapidly without worrying. super fun and powerful trust me, totally life changing

This is a pretty viable alternative for TNT cannons for anti-personnel warfare. Requires less scarce materials to craft, and can be used to complement potions for fighting elite players with good armor. Firework rockets this powerful can also be effective in aerial combat if players know how to aim the rockets properly at others using elytras.

I never know that fireworks on java explodes on impact. In bedrock/PE, it doesn't explode instantly but rather slides on blocks until it explodes naturally. I shoot mostly on the corner of blocks so it would'nt travel far away.

Wow. This was an insanely well-made video. Excellent presentation, great speaking voice, no bs introduction or sponsorship. Loved it- thanks man!

ferb i know what we're going to do today

Disclaimer: Only works for Java. For Bedrock: Use arrows of instant damage.

"Peacetime" application of this technology: Fishing. Practice your aim, and shoot schools of fish. One detonation can take out three, four, sometimes five of the little mobs, which then conveniently float to the surface. One single warhead is plenty for this. It's also a good early-game answer to drowned carrying tridents, since it has much longer range, and you can often scrounge used crossbows from illager patrols even before you've got decent amounts of iron.

1:04 I didn't know that was a thing. My automatic skeleton farm got soo much more useful

Just a small warning: Shooting an arrow takes 1 durability point from the crossbow, fireworks take 3, and with multishot the 3 fireworks would take 9 damage to the crossbow so you would only be able to shoot around 30 times before the crossbow broke, with Unbreaking III it reduces to 2 item damage but still it's pretty hard

I didn't know that you can put more than one star per firework, using a bow is boring, so this is going to be my new large distance weapon, thanks for the tutorial!

I wonder effective this would be in a survival fight with the dragon or wither.

If this could explode blocks i would recreate world war 2 with friends

fire work crossbows *Technoblade flashbacks*

One thing if you cant find flowers, using bonemeal on the grass has a chance to grow some yellow and red flowers. Also bonemeal itself makes white dye so its the easiest if you want to skip the flower step.

I knew about the rockets in crossbows thing, and how it was fairly decent damage. Didn't know you could use multishot with them though! That is kinda bonkers damage, but now I know my goal in my friend's server.

In my experience and testing on Java Edition, the fire charge (larger ball) DOES NOT increase the blast radius. Just like all of the other firework shape modifiers (golden nugget, feather, creeper head, etc), the larger ball is purely cosmetic. I would also like to mention that 7 firework stars isn't enough to one-shot any common hostile mob- even spiders, which are left at 1 health. The only mob a 7-star can one-shot is a cave spider, and even then, a 5-star rocket will still do the trick. If you're only going to be using a firework launcher against mobs, I recommend 4--star rockets, as they can still 2-shot basically every common hostile mob.

Wow! I didn't know that you could weaponize fireworks like this. This could be extremely useful in The Nether! Excellent guide.

If you don't want to craft fire charges, they're also found as trades with piglins, and as loot in ruined portal structures.

I've considered using crossbow launched or despenser launched firework with stars to act as an anti elytra defense on a server I am on. It's a peaceful server, but I think is would be funny to have these fireworks going off like flak as they fly in. Give people a good spook

this felt like an old minecraft modpack video and the amount of nostalgia I felt is crazy

This is actually something that I figured out myself, completely independently, a few years ago, and I'm actually really proud of that. I loved messing and tinkering with firework stars, giving them different colors and stacking them into a single firework, and my surprise when I found out multiple firework stars stacked in a single rocket was very much shocking. Also, crossbows are my favorite weapons in the game, so my surprise was even greater, because this makes them one of the strongest weapons in the game.

I remember using these for the raid in skyblock and the rockets are really useful coz it doesn't aggro the evokers like arrows would and they won't summon the vexes.

Dye tip: Make a cactus bamboo farm, its not hard at all and by the time you want to make a rocket launcher you're bound to have enough resources for that. It'll produce an astronomical amount of cactus green dye which you can then use for the firework.

These could be nightmares for the pillager raids, if you design a defensive wall for the village that funnels the pillagers to one section than open up with the rocket launcher you could really mess up the pillager and vindicators, ravegers are tanky so it will weaken then but they will have a decent chunk of hp left by the time the infantry are dead and evokers are worth killing asap regardless of whether they are with the horde or not.

There's a little known method to increasing your dye per bonemeal output... When growing a single tall flower, find a flat area, knock out one block in the middle, place the flower in that one lower block, and bonemeal it there. You're guaranteed at least six to nine flowers per use, if done correctly.

Thank you. I’ve recently had success with this against those pesky vexers

Hot bar (left to right) 1) food 2) pickaxe 3)torches 4-9) crossbows Food to eat on hand is good, and the pickaxe and torches are next to each other so when you go mining you can easily swap between the two. When placing torches in a cave, you might stumble across an enemy or two, so immediately swap to your crossbow. If the target has the audacity to still be alive, swap to the next crossbow and continue the barrage until they are very much dead.

Awesome video, you are quite skilled at commentary! I would certainly not be able to do this in 1 clip like you did. Any way, keep up the good work :-]

I just got into minecraft again since 2012 and I have learned everything from you and I just subbed to you today thx for all your help I have watched every vid you have and looking forward to learning more as you keep making them❤️

It’s always an end game weapon everytime when I play on a server with friends. By this time everyone has good armor and farms necessary to make a lot of fireworks.

This is pretty good when combined with the spyglass on the other hand.

“Oooo! I wanna try this!” (Jumps onto bedrock edition) “Die SHEEP!” (Firework flies through the sheep and explodes far away) “Awww”

Thank you,so much for the tip.

Awesome tutorial man, thank you!

ive been using this since xbows were a thing but i never knew i could skip the fire charge, that makes it so much cheaper

Thank you eye craft, you seem like a really nice person

Great tutorial! Also, could you do a tutorial on how to breed pandas in order to get all 7 types?

Multishot doesn’t triple the damage because there’s invincibility frames, but it does make the blast radius bigger

Wow I didn’t even know you could load a crossbow with fireworks. Thank you RU-vid recommended.

It helped me out thanks 😊

This is awesome definitely gonna be having some fun with this!!!

thank you!

Just a tip, enchant the books together to save exp

Shen would be proud

very clear and explains everything, you earned a like from me, great job

Very Helpful! Thank you!

Wow, I'm definitely doing this once I get my hands on Java edition :D (I've never played Minecraft but I plan to soon)

Ah yes, a shotgun class rocket launcher.

Cool video! It will be necessary to try to make such a thing

Whoa, game changer. I was looking for fireworks but this is ... okay going to go set up, thanks for sharing!

Rocket Launcher, basically. I have a question, do other components like gold nuggets or feather (that replace fire charge), or additions like a diamond and glowstone dust change the performance of a firework star besides cosmetic? If no, it seems like fire charge is the best choice for battles, while others are for striking looks

im making this because it reminds me of techno

Woow! That’s very cool. Thanks

my dude is the chillest and most helpful dude i’ve seen on youtube! Love it!

Ender dragon: shoots fireball and lands EyecraftMC: *alright... my turn.*

Please don't use fire charges. All it does is make the firework blast appear larger but the damage radius is still the same as a small ball firework.

A tip for the dye, you can break the tall flowers with a fortune III tool and it’ll give you more of those flowers. And you can keep placing and breaking them to get an infinite amount

Loved the video @Eyecraftmc! Can't wait for the next video man! Thank you for this Guide on "Crafting Rifle Launched Grenades and the M1 Bazooka and Ammunition" LMAO! The Multishot Crossbows can be used as the M1 Garand Rifle while a simple Quick Charge III or maybe just Mending and Unbreaking III Crossbow can be used as the M1 Bazooka. The Rifle Launched Grenades could be Represented by Flight Duration 1 or 2 Fireworks with the 6 or 7 Large Balls (Color will be the Player's Choice, Though I would recommend Colors that will emulate an Explosion Like Red, Yellow Orange, White or even any combination of these), While the M1 Bazooka Ammunition can be Respresented with the Simple Flight Duration 1 Fireworks and 7 Large Balls as it's meant to deal with Tanks, which in Minecraft would be either Ravagers during a Village Raid or Fully Geared Players (Enchanted Netherite Armor and Tools). The Rifle Launched Grenades, on the other hand, Are meant to deal with Large Amounts of Infantry if you or another Player who's attacking you are Dug-in, In a Foxhole or a Trench or any other means of Cover. I would like to see this Theory of mine Tested just to be sure that it's a Very good Possibility, even for Multiplayer.

TECNOBLADE NEVER DIES!

YOU CAN BONEMEAL FLOWERS???

Thanks this helped a LOT for pvp

Happy new year! Thank you for the videos

does fire charge actually help increase the damaging area? I'd experimented in 1.17 and it just have bigger explosion effect, not the damaging area. does 1.18 somehow adjusted this?

Since you can't enchant a crossbow with something like Power to increase the damage, this is an amazing way to get higher damage. I had no idea fireworks and crossbows could be so deadly together.

What I very like about your vids is the thing you tell this quickly, but at the same time it's very easy to understand. You earned yourself a like =D

Nice and easy. Good job!

just a question : should we use infinity instead of multi shot?

If you didn't know already you can use this technique during the second faze of the wither fight and it will still deal damage!!!

Fantastically comprehensive explanation!

Tysm I was so confused by this because it I couldn’t find it in creative or crafting table

In bedrock harming arrows are better than fireworks

It's a good weapon but it's not the best. A crossbow with multishot and instant harming arrow can 1 shot a person in full enchanted netherite and a totem. I've tested it

Best way to gain materials: Gunpowder: create a afk creeper farm and afk next to it for a while. Paper: create a bonemeal farm and grow sugarcane and harvest it, or find bone sculptures in the nether. Dye: create a beetroot farm, or use bonemeal on a flower. Fire charges: Mine for coal with a fortune 3 pickaxe, or create a wither skeleton farm/find a spot between 2 blaze spawners in keep killing them with looting 3.

Great video! Thank you!!

Thank you i didn't know how to do it

wow soooo helpful didnt expect that

Would love some info how to get gunpowder fast. Everything else is explained in great detail thank you

This video gives me a very calming vibe Keep up the great work, you have an incredibly nice voice

Thank you so much! Now I can beat my friend in pvp!

Fun Fact, When it comes to the main enchantment multishot it’s best used on less powerful crowds of players because a player with a shield can basically mostly negate the damage and it’s even worse if he has an enchanted shield with full enchanted netherite but what you can do is instead of multishot you can get piercing IV which will accomplish two things, the first would be that the rocket can also pass through the shield, not just arrows and secondly it can also negate some of his defense, because let’s say your enemy has Prot IV then if you have Piercing IV it would be just like he’s wearing normal netherite against a full power firework rocket. Which is why I always prefer Piercing over Multishot.

Very good info. Subbed.

you know what’s really fun? giving yourself a 60+ star rocket with the give command. super deadly.

I was today years old when I heard that crossbow fireworks can shoot through the protective shield off Withers, this video will help a lot for that

your voice is so soothing, i love it. 10/10 subscribed

I never knew that the amount of dyes didn't matter. I thought it did. Good video :)

I was not aware of this and now i know how to make it large aoe and more damage very useful info great vid

Instead of using bonemeal to get flowers for dye, just turn the bonemeal into dye...

tahnk you so much

Ty❤

Thank you

Thanks dude

Ooohhh THAT's why my rockets took around 3 shots per mob...I was only using one firework star! Good to know!

Swag thanks

Thank you so much I’ve been wondering how,now I can troll and start a war with my friends on my smp!
