    Put down the dispenser and fill with fireworks. Put redstone on all four sides of the dispenser. Attach detector rails to the redstone that's attached to the dispenser. Place powered rails on both sides of all the detector rails. Connect the sides with normal rails. You should now have a square with a dispenser in the middle, redstone connecting the dispenser to the detector rails, and powered rails on each side of the detector rails.

    Place redstone torches next to all but one of the powered rails. On the powered rail without a redstone torch, place down redstone connecting to it, leading away from the square. Place a lever that connects this redstone to the unpowered rail. Place a minecart on the unpowered rail and pull the lever.
    • If necessary, push the minecart to begin, or put an unpowered rail on a slope and put minecart on top of it, so when it is powered, it's already going one way.

  • Question
    Is it possible to make a firework display a name?

    Because of how fireworks and redstone work, this is most likely impossible.
  • Question
    I connected everything right, so why didn't it go through the repeaters?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    The repeaters might be facing the wrong way. The repeaters need to be facing the redstone into which they are going. To do this, face the way you want the redstone to repeat into, then place the repeater.
  • Question
    Does this work in Minecraft PE version 14?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    No. Fireworks have yet to come to MCPE.

Warnings

  • Make sure you have a lot of fireworks, because they'll go by quickly. And make sure you are using a dispenser, not a dropper.
