Direction & Duration
You can make fireworks travel to different heights by using up to three gunpowder. you can find out this duration by looking at the tooltip of the item under the term “flight duration.”
With one gunpowder the height rises to between 12-22 blocks.
With two gunpowder the height rises to between 23-39 blocks.
With Three gunpowder the height rises to between 40-60 blocks.
If you are an OP on your server and have access to command blocks, You can achieve higher duration with your firework rockets, and they will accelerate with almost no terminal velocity, their height will keep getting higher.
(rockets with long enough duration could reach heights of over 1000000 blocks and could potentially reach outside the world boundary.)
