	==== Ranged attack ====		==== Ranged attack ====
	A blaze~~'s normal~~ attack is a ~~trio of~~ [[~~Minecraft:small fireball~~]]s, shot ~~from up to about 48 blocks~~.~~<ref group=note name="blaze-follow-range" /> A blaze shoots only when it has a clear~~ line of sight ~~to its target~~. If line of sight is ~~broken~~ in the ~~middle~~ of ~~its volley,~~ the blaze ~~suspends~~ the ~~remainder~~ of ~~its volley until~~ line ~~of sight returns~~. ~~When using this attack~~, ~~the blaze burns~~ with ~~fire for 3 seconds~~, ~~shoots 3 small fireballs over~~ the ~~course~~ of 0.~~9 seconds, then extinguishes its flames and waits for~~ 5 ~~seconds before attacking again~~.		A blaze begins its ranged attack when it can see a target at least 2 blocks away and closer than its [[#Follow range\|follow range]]. This distance is measured in a straight line between their feet positions. The blaze charges for 3 seconds, then fires three small fireballs at intervals of 0.3 seconds. The charge ends 0.3 seconds after the third shot, and the blaze waits 5 seconds before charging again.

			Breaking line of sight interrupts the attack. It resumes if the line of sight returns while the blaze still has the same target. Each fireball is shot in the target's general direction, with some horizontal randomness.{{note\|The game first calculates the direction from the center of the blaze's hitbox toward the center of the target's hitbox. For either horizontal component, let <code>c</code> be that component of the direction and <code>D</code> be the straight-line distance described above. The component becomes <code>c + 1.1485 * sqrt(D) * (r1 - r2)</code>, where <code>r1</code> and <code>r2</code> are random values from 0 to 1. The random adjustment therefore ranges from <code>-1.1485 * sqrt(D)</code> to <code>+1.1485 * sqrt(D)</code>, with values near 0 more likely. X and Z are adjusted independently, and no random value is added to Y. Although the direction is calculated between the centers of their hitboxes, the fireball spawns 0.5 blocks above the center of the blaze's hitbox.}}

	==== Small fireballs ====		==== Small fireballs ====
	~~Unlike with the [[Minecraft:ghast]] or [[Minecraft:breeze]]~~, a blaze~~'s projectiles ''cannot'' be deflected~~, ~~but can be [[Minecraft:blocking~~\|~~blocked]] with a [[Minecraft:shield]]~~. ~~A blaze shoots its small~~ fireballs ~~with roughly~~ the same ~~lack of accuracy as~~ a ~~[[Minecraft:dispenser]]; however~~, ~~the blaze's shots maintain the same speed all the way to~~ the target, ~~unlike~~ the ~~dispenser's~~, ~~which start slow~~ and ~~accelerate~~. If a ~~neutral or hostile mob is accidentally hit~~ by a ~~fireball~~, ~~the mob will retaliate against the~~ blaze.		In air, a small fireball fired by a blaze starts at a low speed and accelerates as it travels, approaching 38 blocks per second. In water, it accelerates more slowly and approaches 8 blocks per second.{{note\|Each tick, its speed is updated as <code>(speed + 0.1) * 0.95</code> in air and <code>(speed + 0.1) * 0.8</code> in water.}} Small fireballs fired by dispensers follow the same motion.

			On a successful entity hit, a small fireball deals {{hp\|5}} base damage and sets the target on fire for 5 seconds. Against a player, the direct damage is {{hp\|3.5}} on Easy, {{hp\|5}} on Normal, and {{hp\|7.5}} on Hard. A shield blocks both the direct damage and the ignition.

			A player cannot deflect a small fireball by attacking it, but a [[Minecraft:breeze]] deflects one that collides with it. On block impact, a blaze-fired small fireball can place fire on an adjacent block if {{cmd\|gamerule mob_griefing}} is set to <code>true</code>.

	A blaze's normal attack is a trio of [[Minecraft:small fireball]]s, shot from up to 48 blocks. Unlike with the [[Minecraft:ghast]] or [[Minecraft:breeze]], a blaze's projectiles ''cannot'' be deflected, but can be [[Minecraft:blocking\|blocked]] with a [[Minecraft:shield]]. A blaze shoots only when it has a clear line of sight to its target. If line of sight is broken in the middle of its volley, the blaze suspends the remainder of its volley until line of sight returns. When using this attack, the blaze burns with fire for 3 seconds, shoots 3 small fireballs over the course of 0.9 seconds, then extinguishes its flames and waits for 5 seconds before attacking again. A blaze shoots its small fireballs with roughly the same lack of accuracy as a [[Minecraft:dispenser]]; however, the blaze's shots maintain the same speed all the way to the target, unlike the dispenser's, which start slow and accelerate. If a neutral or hostile mob is accidentally hit by a fireball, the mob will retaliate against the blaze.

	A '''blaze''' is a fiery [[Minecraft:hostile mob]] found in [[Minecraft:Nether fortress]]es and is the only source of [[Minecraft:blaze rod]]s. ~~A blaze~~ attacks by ~~floating upward and~~ shooting [[Minecraft:~~Small Fireball\|fireballs~~]] at ~~its target in volleys of three at~~ a ~~time.
