	Ghasts float around with their eyes and mouth closed and periodically make crying sounds heard from up to 80 blocks away. They have a [[Minecraft:hitbox]] of 4×4×4 blocks.

They have a [[Minecraft:hitbox]] of 4×4×4 blocks. The ghast's nine tentacles are not within their hitbox.

	When within range, a ghast faces the player and shoots a [[Minecraft:fireball]] every 3 seconds, opening its eyes and mouth and making a screeching sound. They strafe left to right in the air while targeting. A ghast requires a line of sight to the player before firing, which can be blocked by any solid block, including transparent blocks. {{IN\|Java}}, they target players within 64 blocks horizontally and 4 blocks vertically<ref name="MC-49640">{{bug\|MC-49640\|\|Ghasts don't aggro unless you're at the exact same height they are flying\|WAI}}</ref>, and continue attacking as long as they are within a 64 block sphere and have line of sight. {{IN\|Bedrock}}, a ghast normally targets a player within a sphere of 28 blocks, increasing to 64 blocks if the player damages it. {{IN\|be}}, a ghast holds its charge like a [[Minecraft:pillager]] when it loses sight of its target and shoots again instantly when in range.<ref>{{bug\|MCPE-45311\|\|Ghast holding onto its fire charge till the player re-enters it’s vicinity.}}</ref>		When within range, a ghast faces the player and shoots a [[Minecraft:fireball]] every 3 seconds, opening its eyes and mouth and making a screeching sound.

	Ghasts do not attempt to approach the player once aggravated, but instead fire at the player from their position within firing range. If a ghast is within close range to its target, it may take damage from the [[Minecraft:explosion]] of its own fireball, regardless of the player hitting the fireball back.
