Minecraft – What’s the most efficient firework booster

minecraft-java-edition

I am just getting started with firework boosters and elytra in survival mode.

Say I have 64 gunpowder and 64 paper. Will I achieve the most distance by crafting them into 192 duration 1 fireworks, 96 duration 2 fireworks, or 64 duration 3 fireworks?

Best Answer

You're using the same number of resources either way, but your stated objective dictates quality of firework achieves your goal.

64 duration 3 has the most propellant thus most distance (height) in a single shot before detonating; its like 3 fireworks (64*3=192).

Reddit users report a duration 3 gets you about 80 blocks, so more frequent landings with lower duration not only takes longer in a cumulative sense, but though resource use is identical either way, you effectively keep flight longer and faster from greater height with a duration 3
