Hey skip. I have a little thing that can spice up a party room in Minecraft. If you build a repeateting machine with redstone and place a dispenser and fill it with fireworks. Then make the floor slabs (the slab must be the upper side and not have the lower side) and then boom activate the redstone reapeating machine and there you have it. A little thing just to build for fun. I don’t care if this doesn’t get in a vidio I’m just glad that I could come up with that and suggest it to you.
