Here’s a preview of an upcoming Minecraft update, showcasing fireworks, enchanted books and nether brick slabs.
And, in case the you’re interested in the fireworks, here’s a closer look at how they work and how you’ll be making them. Creeper-shaped fireworks? Neat.
The update is supposed to drop January 2013.





















These things are actually for the 1.4.6 update they're aiming to release before Christmas. The 1.5 update (Jan/Feb) is the Redstone Update but they wanted fireworks for New Years.
Also, fireworks in vanilla Minecraft are a stupid addition.
Pffffft killjoy
does the pc version have the xbox crafting system yet?
Not a bad update, let's see if these fireworks are as cool as I hope....
