Fireworks in certain entrances? (suggestion) #264

Open sshipway opened 9 years ago

I've been playing recently with a 'firework spawner'; that is, a low-delay spawner that generates a firework. You can effectively switch these off an on by using a piston that blocks the only available spawning positions, and connect it to a button. It's more effective than a dispenser, and while it could be done using a command block, with a spawner you can get multiple possible fireworks randomly selected.

So, it would be possible in some entrances (I'm thinking the huge cathedral that has 4 towers) to have a button that you press, and a firework is launched from the top of the tower. An underground spawner would work as well, though if course it would need to be at the surface.

I think this would make things more interesting for players, particularly in multi-player worlds.

It turns out that you cannot switch firework spawners off and on using either redstone or pistons. For some reason, spawned fireworks happily appear inside blocks and fly through them. So a command block would be the only way to do it.
