The fireball has a straight trajectory unaffected by gravity and a theoretically infinite range, although it disappears after 1 minute. Ghast fireballs are technically entities that despawn. Unlike how they treat all other non-undead mobs, withers never target ghasts deliberately.Ī ghast fireball is expelled from the ghast's mouth when it attacks. When a ghast sinks into lava, or crosses a lava fall, its speed drops and it is immobilized for a while, making it more more vulnerable to arrow shots. Ghasts can burn, but fire or lava does not harm them. When at close range, ghasts may take damage and die from their own fireball explosions. Unlike most other hostile mobs, ghasts do not attempt to approach the player once aggravated, but instead fire at the player from their position within firing range. Ghasts can cause other mobs to attack them, but they never target other mobs, only the player. In Bedrock Edition, a ghast normally targets a player within a sphere of 28 blocks, increasing to 64 blocks if the player damages it. In Java Edition, they target players within 64 blocks horizontally and 4 blocks vertically, and continue attacking as long as they are within a 64 block sphere and have line of sight. A ghast requires a line of sight to the player before firing, which can be blocked by any solid block including transparent blocks. When within range, a ghast faces the player and shoots a fireball every 3 seconds, opening its eyes and mouth and making a screeching sound. They can also move through solid blocks, unlike most other mobs. They have a hitbox of 4×4×4 blocks, as well as nine tentacles that are not included in the hitbox. Ghasts float around the Nether with their eyes and mouth closed and periodically make crying sounds, which can be heard from up to 80 blocks away. Looting increases the maximum gunpowder dropped by one per level, for a maximum of 5 gunpowder with Looting III.Ī ghast set on fire by lava (not the fall shown on the picture, but lava below, which was cropped out). Looting increases the maximum ghast tears dropped by one per level, for a maximum of 4 ghast tears with Looting III. Ghasts do not spawn in nether fortresses, but they can wander nearby. In Bedrock Edition, two ghasts can spawn within any 4 chunk span. In Java Edition ghasts cannot spawn in soul sand valleys if another ghast is within 16 blocks of spherical distance to the intended spawning location. They spawn only in the basalt deltas, nether wastes, and soul sand valley biomes, all three of which exist only in the Nether dimension, and in any light level.

To spawn naturally, a ghast requires a solid block below it and a free space 5×5 blocks wide and 4 blocks high.
