What you’ll build
Craft three kinds of firework rocket with one, two and three gunpowder, then run a fair flight tournament from the same tower. Fly each type several times, average the results and crown the best rocket for distance and for value.
Finish line: You've run a full rocket tournament with an average for each type and two champions crowned.
Bonus challenge: Fly the tournament again in the opposite direction. Does the champion change, or does it stay on top?
You’ll need
- Elytra
- Sugar cane
- Gunpowder
- A launch tower
- A timer
You choose
- My tournament's name
- My bet for the distance champion: ___ gunpowder
- The trophy for the winning rocket
Stuck?
- To boost, glide first, then use a rocket from your hand while you're in the air.
- Keep everything the same each run: same tower, same direction, one rocket only.
- Rockets without a firework star don't explode, so they're safe to fly with.
