Minecraft ghast: fireballs and how to send them back
The ghast is a huge, floating, ghostly hostile mob of the Nether and the only source of ghast tears. It needs a free space 5×5 blocks wide and 4 high above a solid block to spawn, and appears in Nether wastes, basalt deltas and soul sand valleys at any light level. It always spawns alone.
It floats around with its eyes closed and lets out cries you can hear from 80 blocks. Once it spots you, it opens its eyes, screeches and fires an explosive fireball every 3 seconds. In Java it targets you from 64 blocks. It does not come closer, firing from where it is, and it needs to see you: any solid block, even a transparent one like glass, breaks its line of fire.
The classic trick is to send the fireball back. Hit it and it bounces away, and if it strikes the ghast directly it kills it instantly. It can also hurt itself with its own explosion if you are very close. Its hitbox is 4×4×4 blocks and does not include the nine tentacles, so aim for the body.
Despite looking like a ghost, it is not undead, so poison and regeneration affect it and it can drown. It is immune to fire and lava, but lava slows it and sometimes traps it, which makes it easier to finish with arrows. It gives 5 experience. Its tears are used to brew potions of Regeneration and to craft end crystals.
