Fireworks would be crafted like TNT, but on a hobbit crafting table, and with paper instead of sand. They would take the appearance of an open wooden box with fireworks visibly poking out of the top. They could be lit with sulfur matches, and would explode after 4 seconds, causing damage similar to that of TNT, along with some particle effects and maybe a cool sound effect. Similar to Orc Bombs, they could also be upgraded with gunpowder and paper, resulting in double and triple strength firework boxes. Flaming fireworks could be created with lava buckets.

Hobbit pyrotechnics would be units hirable from Hobbit sheriffs by players with 150+ Hobbit alignment that would race into battle with a firework box in one hand, and a sulfur match in the other. After lighting the fireworks, they would promptly turn and run away, while pulling out an iron dagger so that they could continue to fight. In the hired unit GUI, there would be a single inventory slot that players could put a replacement firework into, or swap out the default firework box for an upgraded version.

This addition to the mod would solve two problems that I see occurring: The first is the utter lack of terrain-damaging items available to good-aligned players. The second is the unappealing nature of joining the Hobbit faction, due to its military weakness. While I agree that the Hobbits should remain a largely peaceful race, Fireworks would give them a unique advantage and allow them to be more useful as a good-aligned faction.
