We're looking at moving away from Fireworks anyways, though thanks for the report. This is an issue with the 1.8 patch, im quite certain.
awww what will replace fireworks for skills like bonespear? i absolutely cant play necro right now as bad as i want to because its impossible to use bonespear without those beatiful fireworks, plus they show you where you're aiming.

Hello!

It appears that I'm not the only one witnessing this from time to time.
It is a really strange issue since it's not always happening, so I can't really assume the source of this bug.

So, I usually have all skills I use in combat bound to random items.
The very first time it happened to me, I used the Fireblast skill, which I bound on an Arrow before - it didn't show me the skills "blast" effect/animation (that red explosion at the impact site) when using the skill. Neither when using it on an actual target nor on a random spot. So I figured but didn't really understand why it's not working.

I tried binding the skill on another item, it didn't work. I tried rebinding it to the arrow again, several times, it didn't work either. Relogging also did not work. But eventually I did get it to work again, though I can't really tell how, I think I just used restarted Minecraft, or maybe I played with the settings and got it to work that way.

The thing is: I am using Optifine, and another player in /o chat reported the same problem. He also assumed Optifine to be the source of the bug, but it's still strange, since I've used Optifine even before this bug occured to me for the first time in game, and I've never had this issue before. I can neither tell how I exactly fixed it nor how I caused it, but that's all I know.

Thought I might report it here, since I didn't find another thread about it. The last time it happened to me is quite longer ago (long before update 1.8), but I only had this issue with the Fireblast skill.

Any ideas guys? Reply to me =)
If there's a reason for this not to be a bug but a plain mod issue, you can /close this one here.

P.S.: The player reporting the issue in chat had the same problem with the Pulse skill (not showing these firework/blast effects/animations when hitting targets) and he was also the one who guessed it to be Optifine's fault.

The damage applies to the target(s), the skill is still announced in chat and the cooldown system works, but there's no skill execution/launch effect animation.

As kainzo said in another bug report, this is due to the 1.8 update.

Kainzo is trying to move away from fireworks anyway

Oops, I didn't notice that the same issue is mentioned in this thread, sorry.
Thanks for merging.
