Launch 4 unique <color?> Fireworks

Fireworks have a pretty unique set of items they can be crafted with: Fire Charge, Gold Nugget, and Feather give them unique shapes; Glowstone Dust and Diamonds give them effects.

There are 5 unique shapes and 4 unique effects, which is 20 unique firework stars ignoring different colors.

problems:
- It's difficult to explain what counts as a unique firework (do fading colors count? do different flight durations count?), so maybe forcing them to be a certain base color (ignoring fades) is good. Maybe unique flight durations is fine because that costs more gunpowder?
- it's hard to track which fireworks you've done already because there's so many different combinations, so maybe the goal could be limited to either shapes or effects?

more info on firework stars: https://minecraft.wiki/w/Firework_Star
A firework star is a crafting ingredient used to create explosive firework rockets, which deal damage based on the number of stars added. Firework stars can be crafted using various combinations of dyes and other items, which affect the appearance, colors and visual effects of the resulting explosions.

launch 4 unique shapes of fireworks sounds good (so all excluding mob heads)

just kinda sucks that you don't have diamonds or glowstone dust involved anymore

maybe "launch a twinkle + trail effect firework" could be its own goal or smth

ig this also allows deep dark to get skeleton skulls instead of like fire charge or smth

if it's an individual goal i think it's fine to be hard to explain

Could it possibly just be that theres specific firework shapes to launch as a goal? Instead of 4 uniques its just a goal "Launch a star firework" , and maybe there's 3/4 variations (that ideally only 1 can show up in a board or something)

yeah i was thinking that too but I'm not sure if it's too rigid for draftout

Or maybe launch a firework with 3 different effects?

Idk, i like the idea though i think something firework design related is a good goal type, very much a knowledge check
