This was an idea me and my partner in crime worked on to celebrate new year's eve on our minecraft server.

The castle is a giant redstone circuit that shoots off fireworks for 25 minutes after it's triggered. There are several phases; the fireworks travel in two directions around the outer wall from the front to the back. Then it starts igniting several inner walls and courtyards, six themed towers around the center and finally the climactic central tower. Commandblocks make sure it stays nighttime throughout the sequence and that each phase is anounced in chat.

We tried to think of ways to "theme" the firework shapes and colors. Thus several pallets were born like: chocolate cake, confetti, ice and fire, four elements, seven chakra's, creeper attack, travellng rainbow etc. Credits for help on a lot of these designs go to Furball125. The two statues out front were designed by melody1997.

It took us three days to complete.
