Crafting ingredient[edit]
| Name | Ingredients | Crafting recipe | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Book | Paper + Leather |
||
| Empty Locator Map | Paper + Compass |
When you first create a map, it is blank. Hold the empty map and press use item to transform the empty map into a map item which gradually begins filling with information as you travel around the inside borders of it.
This variation is called an "empty locator map"[Bedrock Edition only] or "empty map"[Java and Legacy Console editions only] | |
| Empty Map | Paper | Bedrock Edition only
Maps crafted without a compass will not show location markers. Markers can be added later by combining the map with a compass on an anvil or crafting table. This variation is called an "empty map". | |
| Firework Rocket | Any Firework Star + Paper + Gunpowder |
Adding more gunpowder increases the duration of the rocket. Up to three gunpowder can be used. Up to five firework stars can also be used with three gunpowder. Up to seven firework stars can be used by using firework stars instead of additional gunpowder. All firework stars will go off simultaneously when the rocket detonates. | |
| Firework Rocket | Paper + Gunpowder |
When crafted this way (without a firework star), the rocket will have no explosion effects. | |
