I have never tried doing this before but I am 90% sure you would do it like launching an arrow from a player... with velocities. Simple get the player's direction vector then set the fireworks velocity to the players direction vector and multiply() by what ever you want.

Fireworks naturally go upwards as a client-side. So, what you have to do to create a realistic looking horizontal firework is:

• Get the location you want the firework to detonate (I am going to refer to it as l)
• Get the vector linking the start location to the detonate location (l).
• Use a BlockIterator (how I use it, there are other ways) and iterate through every block of the vector and spawn a firework packet (using NMS). When the block iterator has no next, spawn a firework effect (this should be at the location l).

However, with the above the firework will be a white color (client limitations). So, you could instead spawn wool block particles instead to generate various colors.

 

AoH_Ruthless so that's how it's done. I thought it was more simple. Lol mine would of probably shot like I diagonal bullet to the sky.

It would more or less go straight (provided you gave a horizontal vector) until it reaches an entity or a block, at which point it shoots straight up for a little bit then promptly explodes.
