A sparkler is a chemistry-related item that emits particles when lit. Sparklers are available in the colors orange, blue, red, purple, and green.

Crafting
| Ingredients | Crafting recipe | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Chloride + Magnesium + Stick |
Calcium Chloride: Orange Cerium Chloride: Blue Mercuric Chloride: Red Potassium Chloride: Purple Tungsten Chloride: Green |
All sparklers other than blue, purple, orange, red, and green can be obtained only via inventory editing, and they use the texture of a blue sparkler.
Usage
Using a sparkler ignites it, causing its texture to change. When lit, the sparkler emits colored particles; the durability meter depletes while the sparkler is burning, it takes 60 seconds for the durability meter to deplete. Sparklers are one of the few items that can be held in the off-hand in Bedrock Edition. Unlit sparklers have normal lighting like most items, while lit sparklers appear to glow when held in the player's hand, similar to glow sticks.
When the player uses another item while a sparkler is lit, or holds the sparkler in the off-hand, the sparkler's durability stops depleting.
If the player has a lit sparkler in their inventory and goes into the water, the sparkler is destroyed immediately. It, however, doesn't get destroyed if dropped in water. It also cannot float.
Despite having durability, sparklers cannot be enchanted with Unbreaking or Mending.
