 Description   

The bug

What I expected to happen was...:
Crafting fireworks with firework stars, using shift-click should just get me a stack of fireworks.

What actually happened was...:
It crafts the fireworks you want, plus with the remaining ingredients, it crafts whatever else it can, all at once.

How to reproduce

  • Set up the crafting table with equal-sized stacks of firework star, paper and gunpowder – except use fewer firework stars.
  • Shift-click to craft the fireworks.
  • All at once, it will craft rockets using up all the firework stars (expected), and also enough plain rockets to use up all the gunpowder and paper (unexpected).

Can Confirm in 1.19.3

Comment by Gabriel Klenner [ 19/Jan/21 ]

Confirmed 1.16.5

Comment by WitherSlayer5000 [ 18/Jan/21 ]

Yes confirmed.

Comment by DG [ 21/Jun/20 ]

Confirmed this bug exists on 1.16-rc1, java 1.8.0_51

Comment by Pi Fisher [ 25/May/20 ]

This also works for other types of Firework Rocket recipes.  If you use 2 gunpowder + 1 gunpowder + 2 paper, you'll get 3 Firework Rockets with Flight Duration: 2 and also 3 Firework Rockets with Flight Duration: 1.

Comment by Pi Fisher [ 25/May/20 ]

Confirmed for 1.15.2 and 20w21a.  Also, this affects Firework Stars, in addition to just Firework Rockets.  For example, put 2 gunpowder, 2 cyan dye, and 1 wither skeleton skull in the crafting GUI, and shift click on the result.  You wind up with two firework rockets, one of which is Creeper shaped and one of which is not.

Comment by Kraif [ 30/Aug/18 ]

Confirmed for 1.13.1. Please, keep the ticket updated.

Comment by Magnus Claesson [ 25/Dec/16 ]

This is really annoying since now in 1.11(.1/2) it now crafts rockets with flight duration 3 and then 2 and 1 if you put not even stacks of gunpowder and then shiftclick. Its not good at all and this will be a bigger problem now since people probably will craft more fireworks now when they actually have a function.

Comment by Sealbudsman [ 26/Oct/16 ]

I've attached the screenshots from MC-4425. As bljat described there, "shift clicking doesn't stop on the second recipe".

Comment by user-f2760 (Inactive) [ 20/Aug/16 ]

Could somebody create a screenshot of the recipes used? Just to make it easier to understand what's going on.

Comment by Koala_eiO [ 20/Aug/16 ]

I think it has to do with NBTags. The crafted fireworks all share the same id, only the NBT dictates what color/effect is used.

When you run out of firework stars, you run out of NBT basically, but you still have enough gunpowder/paper to create "blank" fireworks.

Comment by Immaterialise [ 17/Feb/16 ]

Confirmed for 1.9-pre1

Comment by SunCat [ 22/Nov/15 ]

Confirmed for 15w47c

Comment by Kahless [ 22/Aug/14 ]

Still present in 1.8-pre1

Comment by Kahless [ 23/Jul/14 ]

Still affects 14w30a.

Comment by Kahless [ 29/Jan/14 ]

I can confirm that this bug still exists in 14w04b.

Comment by [Mod] Ezekiel (ezfe) [ 29/Jan/14 ]

Is this still a concern in the latest Minecraft version 14w04b? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

Comment by Tails [ 10/Dec/12 ]

Confirmed. The main issue is that shift-clicking doesn't stop after the items of the recipe gunpowder + firework star + paper are used up, continuing to craft plain rockets from the recipe: paper + gunpowder.

Comment by Kahless [ 09/Dec/12 ]

I think what he means is as follows:

1: Obtain or craft 1 or more Firework stars
2: On a crafting grid, place the firework star(s), and gunpowder and paper so that there is more paper and gunpowder than stars. For instance, if you have 1 star, place a group of 2 paper and a group of 2 gunpowder.
3: Shift-click the output. You will obtain 1 firework with a defined explosion AND 1 firework with no explosion (consuming the extra gunpowder and paper).

For a more extreme example, let's assume you have a stack of hard-earned gunpowder, a stack of paper, and a half stack of firework stars and want to make a grand fireworks display. You quickly place them on a grid like so:
32 stars, 64 gunpowder, 64 paper.
Then you shift-click the output.
You receive your 32 explosive fireworks, but much to your dismay, it automatically also converted the remaining gunpowder and paper into 32 non-explosive fireworks.

Expected behavior: shift clicking should only yield a group of 1 product (in the extreme example, only 32 explosive fireworks). The remaining input should remain in the crafting grid, and the NEXT output (non-explosive firework) should display.
Observed behavior: yields both explosive and non-explosive fireworks, consuming all usable recipes.

Comment by Kumasasa [ 09/Dec/12 ]

Cannot reproduce, did exactly as you wrote, got 32 fireworks, no rockets.
Please refine your steps.
