Hot Fireworks
by iamkaf
Hot Fireworks changes how fireworks behave in the world: rockets set fire, explode and trigger effects instead of flying as ordinary firework displays.
What it does
Once installed, fireworks in the game gain themed effects. Burning fire, lightning, lava and magma blocks, a creeper-style blast and a ghast-fireball effect all come from fireworks, so a firework shot can end in several different ways. The mod is a server-side only change, so players join without installing it and only the server runs it.
Hot Fireworks requires Amber on every loader it supports. It is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across seven release versions, 1.21.10 – 26.3, and its newest files target 26.3. Because the code is open source under the MIT License, the source code and issue tracker are public, and the mod was first published on 2026-01-31 and last updated on 2026-09-26. Snapshot builds are not part of the release list.

Use cases
Fireworks on a shared server
Server owners who want a playful firework variant can install it on the server, and players join without any client install.
Who it’s for: Server owners and players who want fireworks to do more than fly and burst. The mod suits a playful or chaotic server, since its effects are themed around fire, lightning and explosions.
