Yes it is fireworks!
Massive kudos to viniciuspac, the first to guess it is fireworks. I don’t know how he (or she) did it, but there you go. Congratulations!
Here’s a video for you showing some fireworks in action:
There are 256 variants of fireworks.
8 different burst shapes:
- Small burst
- Large burst
- Circle
- Disc
- Ball
- Short trails
- Long trails
- Flat trails
8 colors:
- White
- Cyan
- Red
- Blue
- Yellow
- Green
- Orange
- Dark
Plus 2 altitude variants (low and high) and additionally any firework can be made flickering.
As usual, I am going to publish 1.28 for testing on Google Play first. This time I will only publish DEMO version. The full version will stay at 1.27 until bugs are ironed out.

WOAH
Just wrote about it on Go Survivalcraft :-P
I don’t get how it’s fireworks since they aren’t in the game and you mentioned it was something already in the game.
I think he means that he already finished programming it, he already added it in his demo, it’s no longer an idea or project.
No, he only said the dispenser was in the game. No where did he say the new thing was.
That was my though as well. There were no fireworks already in the game. Well then I suppose this is how misunderstandings happen. This was then just a lucky guess.
Many people here have poor English skills.
I interpreted the post in question correctly, but many didnt
You’re right. I’m sort I might have misunderstood the statement, English is not my first language. I’m French Canadian (Québécois). Just so you know you have a few fans in this little place too, Kaalus!
But at least I hope it’ll all be in the great survivalcraft!
I mean that all the features (dispenser and firework will be added, I hope !! :) ) and *im sort of-> **sorry that
Thanks kaalus, I didn’t guess right, but it’s an awesome feature. It’s so great you’re developing the game again!!! Yeah! :)
Nice
I love it
Awesome so how long do you think it will take to get all the bugs out and release it to all platforms?
They look so real!
Im sorry Mr.Kaalus these fireworks are SO cool but i dont really see the need to add these to the game :l
I agree. These are really cool, but without multiplayer, even with just local wifi, SC might die. Just think on creative maps people can build together. They can produce awesome creations. Well so much for that. I’ll probably play this for a while to see the fireworks and then so playing again till the next update. Sorry for sounding a bit negative.
I meant “stop playing’
Google Play will get it first as usual. Then Windows probably. Apple will probably get the update last. I mean it took Apple forever just to get the game on their store. As for bugs maybe a few days to a week. It really depends.
Good thing i have a windows phone and SC on it and my PC
Pretty sweet Kaalus! Are fireworks relatively easy to aquire?
This is legendary
Wow, that’s awsome kaalus, it’s a privilege to be mentioned in one of your posts, thank you very much, also nice work with the fireworks, that’s really awsome :)
I’d take a screen shot :P
Good job I was sure that he would never have added fireworks …. But he did God job… ;-)
I thought survival craft was dead….I cannot tell u how happy I was when I saw that post a couple weeks ago
I share your opinion proudly!
Hi I am looking for a new publisher for my WordPress survival craft site so if ur interested plz contact me
Survival craft is reborn
1.28 is going to be maaad
Cant wait till he adds multiplayer the game would be probably top app of 2016 and wipe put minecraft
wipe out*
You know it!
What? Only demo? Why why why? Noooooo! Please have mercy! Update full version first so us who have actually payed for the right to play the game and have the time to test bugs can get the chance to get it first please ….. :-) I hope you realize that I am still happy with your decision
Demo is free to download if you want to test it. I don’t want to clobber full paying users with a potentially broken build.
OK I understand that… I already downloaded the demo just 10 minutes ago and am waiting as paceintly as a kid on Christmas eve for the update that I’ve been dreaming of for the past 6 months. Love your work keep it up buddy. :-)
O one more thing there is a bug with armor all progectiles do full damage to your person when wering armor you forgot to program the progectiles damage into armor protection
No bugs to be found but some miled lag but that’s normal with explosives. Good job. :-)
Its not broken please update full for further testing I have yet to test survival mode :-)
near the exit if the distributor to put something , include a shot. the content disappears after the
More than 6 Months of Silence are payed well, As Always, Excellent Work to Kaalus…
Fireworks are surely interesting…
An congrats again to viniciuspac
Thanks man :)
Cool! I can’t wait! :)
Awesome!
OK I’m set on getting the demo… I’m putting down the full version for now …. :-\
New viniciuspac was right!
:D
When is it coming can you make a guess
Sweet mama! So, it seems that animals are afraid of fireworks?
Hay night time signals for future multiplayer update yay :-)
How?
A player could see another’s fireworks. It would work as a distress signal. Great use if you ask me.
That’s true, it would be a great way to find eachother
Yeah, but that doesn’t signify it being multiplayer.
He did it at night because that is the best time to view fire works
I didn’t say it was for multiplayer. I said it would be great for multiplayer though.
Let me rephrase that. We know it’s not strictly for signaling in multiplayer; we just agree that it could be a good use for it. Kind of like when people, including me, said dispensers would be great for transporting. It’s not it’s initial use, but it is a possible use.
It is a good idea for if multiplayer will ever exist in survivalcraft. tbh, I think multiplayer will be added because at the menu screen, there is a button that says “singleplayer”, as if there is supposed to be another button that says “multiplayer”. Technically people can download worlds from community content made by others, but you still have to press the “singleplayer” button to access them. I don’t think that Kaalus will actually add multiplayer for a very long time, though.
And he used to have a button that said multiplayer
Well ever heard of flair guns ….. Ever heard of different color flags meaning different things…. Combine the two and you get war signals! Yay
Yes and with muskets this is actually practical once multiplayer comes
Yes! Now when a new update comes out, we can go in our worlds and celebrate with fireworks!
This maybe a good time to revise the demo version and increase the time limit. At this stage the demo is rather useless and only frustrates new potential users. Even if you made it heavy add based, it would be better. I’ve read some of the reviews of SC Demo and this is the main complaint. Maybe you can lock out survival mode as an upgrade option or something like that, or just some of the items. Just a thought.
I agree with you. The demo is very short.
Has anyone ever emailed Kaalus and gotten a reply?
Thank you kaalus! I wanted either dispensers or block locomotion and you added dispensers. One can make cool maps, item sorters (sorting limited to weight and bouyancy), and more diabloical devices! >:} Speaking of which, I am almost done making an advanced, analog, 8 memory bank music machine. Tell me if you want me to post it here. Thank you for all your hard work and determination!
Btw: You should make throwing fireworks have a 50% chance to catch you on fire. It would be very amusing.
Let’s start the count down before 10,000,000 veaws and through a huge celebration with fireworks and random fireing of our shiny new muskets yeeeeeheheheeee. Wooohoo yay :-D
Lol the last thing on my mind was fireworks 😂 but like someone said up their .. now for muliplayer flares .. this is awesome
Why yes it is. Can’t help but think how awesome SC will be by say, 1.35 or 1.40.
Trying the Demo of 1.28… I haven’t found Bugs Yet… However I think that Would be better if the Crossair when you Aim with Weapons/Throwable items will return the One Before 1.27.15…
Nice. If we trigger them at a low enough altitude perhaps they’ll scare off predators. Going to try setting dispenser down a hole to reduce altitude.
Agreed it would be a cool security system
Has anyone else went to older post and read fights and such in the comments 😂
Yes
Remember that time you and me fought .. 😂😂 I forgot what it was about
I remember too. I wasn’t involved, I was just comment stalking.
-=-MINOR BUG-=-
When You Quit Survivalcraft Demo, after a few seconds appears “The Application Survivalcraft Demo has Stopped Unexpectedly”…
Xperia Tablet Z3 Compact Android Lollipop 5.1.1
This is happening to me too, however it is with the full version. Xperia M2 5.0.1
So, kaalus didnt say he was adding the dispenser because of something ingame already, he said that the dispenser was finished and implemented in his test version.
“In the meantime here’s a little riddle for you, what is this new block?
Mystery.jpg
I think it will be very easy for you to guess.
Dispenser.png
Whatever it is, it’s already in the game. But the reason why I am putting it in at all is something else, much better looking :-)”
Notice the last few lines. The thing talking about better looking stuff comes after the line about it being ingame
Wait a min… that doesn’t make sense.. he said it was in game but then turns around and says that the reason he adding it into the game is to make something more beautiful.. confused 😂
He means he implemented it into his test version, but he was adding it for the fire works
Kaalus, I have a question, do fireworks drop like arrows and bolts do or do they go straight? Anyone else please answer also. Thank you.
Drops like Arrows and Bolts, yeah… Tested by myself… (I’m currently playing the Demo)
Alright thanks, also can you shoot fire arrows out of the dispenser?
Of Course you can, also Explosive Bolts too!
I assume the arrows are on fire aren’t they?
Yep, they’re on fire…
Did he release it to the demo already? I don’t know if I have it on the demo or not! :-(
Yes, there is…
Dangit, bows don’t have infinite durability anymore…
They never did.
Shooting wise they did it used to be broken. But now he fixed it. It’s even in 1.28’s update history
Oh yeah that’s right I remember now.
Yeah they lost durability by beating animals physically. I did it once to try it, and that was the only bow I broke
Muskets have no durability
They don’t great!
Good job viniciuspac!
Thanks man :)
Could someone tell me for sure what the demo time is? I’ve heard from different people that’ it’s 5,10, and 15 minutes
Way to go man!
So I was testing on the demo and the muskets and fireworks are really cool and nicely done. Only thing that should be changed is the muskets have no durability and there is a little too much smoke when one is fired. Another great update! Keep up the good work Kaalus! Never give up!
Smoke is fine. You are using crude black powder, so the smoke is perfect
Agreed it’s appropriate
Yay everybody celebrate 10,000,000 views!!! Yay :-)
Wooohoo 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚀🚀🚀
Not sure if this is a bug, but if i shoot a musket ball out of a dispenser it kills most animals in one hit. It is just as powerful as the gun itself. Also when animals die, they produce the smoke as if you shot them, even though i never shot them. They just fall off a cliff, die, and smoke appears on their body….
That is the new death animation, a could appears around the dead animal.
Cloud*. Curse this blasted iPhone keyboard
Hey Zack, does the player have the cloud too?
Cool, but is the dispenser supposed to be so powerful?
@Survivalcraft Eminem, I’m not sure. I was in creative mode so I didn’t die.
Love it ….. So easy to Mass produce fire works best of all you get your bucket back! No bugs…. Fireworks do minimal damage to animals but scare them away good for survival mode and warding off prediters you can fire blanks with muskets….. Very cool. The signs and laders work grate…… New death animations look great work grate and are really nice :-) so kaalus…… I think…….. With the “low hanging fruit” out of the way…….. (I hope you see were I’m going with this) :-)
Keep it up, looks great.
Can you please make an Iron Dispenser to blend in with Technical Builds. Thanks.
I want a miner’s cart, please
Is there no limits to my excitement!! This just gets better and better.
Sorry for sounding a bit negative and repeating what many already have said. These are really cool and very unique, but without multiplayer, even with just local wifi, SC might die. Just think on creative maps people can build together. They can produce awesome creations. Well so much for that. I’ll probably play this for a while to see the fireworks and then stop playing again till the next update. If that comes. Thanks for at least trying and doing something. This is easy more than I could do.
Oh by the way, I see the demo 1.28 is on playstore. Yipee.
The demo is still incredibly short, therefore useless. Maybe it will improve. Hope so. Just tested a few fireworks before it stopped me. Very frustrating.
I agree with you, I personally don’t know why kaalus have only released 1.28 to the demo version. If his intention was to see if there were bugs, wouldn’t it be more effective to release to the full version so we can test everything calmily instead of forcing us to test everything in a hurry before the demo expired? If he was afraid about a bug that breaks worlds or something he could simply recommend us to export our important worlds to dropbox, so we could at least save them. That’s my opinion, what do you think?
Discovered another minor Graphical Bug!
When You Throw a Spawner Egg, Green Particles similar to the Green Grid of the Block Texture Appears instead…
Isn’t this intended?
In 1.27 When you throw a Spawner Egg, it generates some white particles… And looking better at the particles they actually use the Snowball Texture…
In 1.28, due to the Absence of Snowball Texture, it generates a Broken Texture, wich appears as a Green Grid Square, the Same that appears in unused areas of the Block Textures…
I Hope that this Explains Better…
Spawner Eggs Particles in 1.27
Spawner Eggs Particles in 1.28 (pretty sure that are bugged)
Well, I can speak for sure that it is a bug. There must be something wrong with texture coordinates or the texture itself. These green small pieces are empty texture slots which are mapped by mistake. If you’ve made a block texture for SurvivalCraft, you are supposed to know that.
10,000,000 views on the website now!
And still going strong!
I Hope that this Explains Better… (Sorry for the Double Post)
Spawner Eggs Particles in 1.27
Spawner Eggs Particles in 1.28 (pretty sure that are bugged)
Got the demo and its pretty good. In 1.29 can you add like a house generated structure? Like those tiny box houses in mcpes villages. Make 1 just spawn in the middle of nowhere
Ok, I’ve discovered some bugs:
– Spawner eggs sometimes wont spawn animals.
– After shooting with musket, the controls may freeze (rare)
– Horses no longer take damage while mounted, the damage is redirected to you instead (don’t know if it is intended).
– Projectiles ignore armor protection.
Just this bugs for now, I’ll keep testing to see if there is something more.
Yeah, I’ve reported the armor thing several times. Been in since armor itself.
You should probably email Kaalus. I don’t think he reads the chat here very often.
I have. He either doesn’t want to deal with it or its intentional.
I feel the first is more likely
Hi guys, a few questions..
Will fireworks cause collateral fire or explosive damage, scare off animals etc?
Will fireworks in the future spell out letters numbers etc?
Will dispensers be able to dispense into other dispensers? (To change trajectory )
Except for the Second Question I got the Answer to all of your Questions
1) Fireworks cannot Detonate Explosives and cannot burn anything… But they Scare Animals, yeah
2) I dunno
3) Nope… They can’t
Well my kindle’s battery died and my computer will not update to window 8 to get survival craft. So, with survival craft payed for, I’ve lost it for ever. Oh well. I’d gladly pay for it again! Just need a device that’ll actually run it.
Kindle’s battery died meaning it can no longer hold charge and my parents don’t consider it worth it to buy a $60 battery replacement.
Heck for $49 you can get the new “fire”, 7″ screen. Perhaps your folks would get you one for Xmas (Hanukkah, whatever).
PLEASE make it possible to add things inside a dispenser just like in a normal chest by throwing it in or make that stuff can be transferred from a chest to a dispenser. It would be amazing and would allow some cool automated stuff
True, we could create dispenser refillers.
ISSUE: Although you need to sneak to aim the musket, this is awkward because there is no sneak button when holding a musket; there is just an edit button.
Yes it is odd you have to “set down” the musket for Sneak button to replace the Edit button. Shouldn’t it just appear below it? Perhaps Kaalus is saving vertical real estate.

I have a huge problem!
Every time i do a large explosion or a lot of fireworks. The game messes up and starts this loud distorted sound till i restart the game. Pleeaase help.
Btw. This is on a Samsung galaxy s3 mini gti8190n. Rooted running cyagenmod 11 by novafusion. Copol kernel to allow me to overclock cpu/gpu. And finally some small little mods/tweaks such as lspeed mod
Is it normal that I can’t see objects been shot vertically by the dispencer?
No, it isn’t
Notice: animals fall over properly now!
Is the demo update out on the Amazon Appstore yet? I am dying to try it out! = )
Is the “E” in the gun icon supposed to indicate EMPTY? If so shouldn’t it go away when I’ve loaded the musket? It is not – Lenovo IdeaTab S6000-F Android 4.2.2.
Duh, E for edit. However the edit icon is not an E, it’s a pencil. But you can also load from the tray just like bows.
Why aren’t you putting the update on the full version right away? The demo version is really annoying to play on!
OK big guy! 2 real bugs to report! Pathfinding is a bit weird not as good as on full version and dispensers set on dispense that are blocked shoot to the side including chests blocking the dispenser. Then when set to shoot and blocked all items are lost as there fired out of it … One suggestion for dispensers…. Please add a way to transport item’s from one dispenser to another example pipes or ducts so I can make a block transportation out of my mines and into factorys…… And make it impossible to access the dispenser from the front in adventure mode because one could easily disarm a trap in adventure thanks!! :-)
Kaalus I think I found a bug. When I was playing demo 1.28, if you carry the gun while running and go to 3rd person, the arms will go back and fourth, I want to say that it’s a good update I also realized when you hurt your horse while riding on it, it will not run away. Well that happened to me. I’m not sure if I stopped it from running but I think you stopped the horse from running away when you lose fall damage, run into cacti, and getting attacked while riding on it I like how it did not run away. GREAT update.
