[MC-5108] Firework explosions do not appear

I just updated to 1.4.6 and I made some firework rockets. When I launched them, they made the explosion sound but the explosion is not visible. I tried several variations.(The white trail the rocket leaves as it flies up does appear)

When I first tried fireworks in the snapshot, they worked fine.

PS: why isnt the rocket in the creative menu?

The rocket is not in the Creative menu because there are so many different combinations it would be impossible to list them all, and none should be singled out. Did you craft your own star or did you use the one in the creative inventory?

I crafted my own star.

and i dont see why the star is in the creative menu but the rocket is not. In the snapshot the rocket you got from the creative menu was just a basic rocket.

You can take up the fact that the firework rocket is not in the inventory with Dinnerbone.

did you read the description? 😉

Are you launching them by hand or with a dispenser?

This will happen with the default "Firework star" that has no color or properties assigned. You cant spawn it with commands (that I know of) or use them straight from the creative inventory.

alex_dlc 2012-12-21T04:07:55Z

I tried launching them by hand and also with a dispenser, both times the explosion was not visible.

As I already said, I crafted my own star and I used many variations (colors, burst, trail, twinkle, large ball, star shape, head shape......) and none of them were visible.

Was the launching place open to the sky?

alex_dlc 2012-12-21T13:58:13Z

yes

Anon Ymus 2012-12-21T14:11:16Z

Perhaps the firework burst just blends in with the sky. Also, are your particles turned on?

alex_dlc 2012-12-21T14:16:14Z

no, of course it does not blend with the sky! the sky is black and the fireworks are several different colors. And obviously I have particles on.

Can you hold and release F3+C ingame, this will induce a crash.
Please upload the crashlog here.

No crash report attached -> Incomplete.

alex_dlc 2012-12-30T16:38:40Z

I have been away this whole week and unable to post the crash report. I will do it tonight as soon as I get home

alex_dlc 2012-12-30T21:34:28Z

well, this is really odd. i just tried the fireworks again in a clean copy of 1.4.6 and they worked! i will try it again in my actual 1.4.6 copy and see if they work there. i will also try them in a 1.4.7 copy

alex_dlc 2012-12-30T22:16:24Z

after some testing, i think i found the problem! firework explosions dont appear when i use a custom texture pack, only when i use the default one. any idea why?

Tails 2012-12-30T22:17:58Z

Do you have Optifine installed?

alex_dlc 2012-12-30T22:19:53Z

no I dont. I tried to use someone elses texture pack, and fireworks do appear with that one. but when i select my own texture pack, they dont appear. Is my texture pack missing some files?

Tails 2012-12-30T22:22:11Z

Well if it does not work with a certain texture pack, it's a texture pack issue, therefore this ticket is invalid.

Any texture pack issues need to be addressed to the texture pack creator.

alex_dlc 2012-12-30T22:23:56Z

alright, I understand.

Anon Ymus 2012-12-30T22:45:59Z

The firework particles are in the particles file, so older packs might not have them.
