firework rockets:
  - ammo that explodes in a big beautiful ball of light
  - there are three basic items:
    - firework stars
    - firework rockets
    - firework ammo (stars + rockets combined)
  - firework stars are what defines how the firework looks when it explodes
    - they can be crafted with various items to modify the size and shape, add a twinkling effect, trailing effect, etc.
    - maybe they are made in a [furnace prototype machine], since they may be tons of different combinations? although might be better to just start out with a couple variations and then build up from there
  - firework rockets are what makes the rocket go. There should be a couple, maybe three, variations. a short, medium, and long range version
  - a firework star can be combined with a firework rocket to create a firework (ammo), which can be shot either by turrets or the player guns
    - potentially add a special firework launcher turret that can be controlled by circuitry so people can create unique firework shows, or celebrate events like rocket launches with pretty lights
    - when the rocket and star are combined, a firework is created with the required action effects to create the desired "explosion"
    - it would be nice if they can deal a little bit of damage, so they can still be used as actual ammo against biters/players if desired
