Where to find

Ghasts need a large open volume and commonly appear over lava seas, soul sand valleys, and Nether wastes.

Behavior and danger

After spotting a player, a ghast screams and launches a fireball. The projectile explodes on impact, starts fires, and can be reflected with a timed hit.

Drops and uses

Ghast tears brew Regeneration and craft End crystals, while gunpowder supports rockets. Drops are easily lost when the mob dies over lava.

Strategy and edition notes

Use a bow from cover or return the fireball with a timed attack. Bedrock controls and damage can make shots feel harsher, so build bridges with side walls.
