If a neutral or hostile mob is accidentally hit by a fireball, the mob will retaliate against the blaze.

Template:For Template:Distinguish Template:Infobox entity Template:Relevant tutorial A blaze is a fiery Minecraft:hostile mob found in Minecraft:Nether fortresses and is the only source of Minecraft:blaze rods. It attacks by shooting volleys of three Minecraft:small fireballs or by performing melee attacks at close range, and it often floats upward while targeting a player.

Spawning

Blazes always require a Minecraft:light level of 11 or less to spawn.

They may spawn naturally in Minecraft:Nether fortresses in groups of 2 or 3Template:Only and from 1 to 3Template:Only.

Blazes may also spawn from Minecraft:monster spawners. A Nether fortress can generate up to two blaze spawner platforms, each surrounded by Nether brick fences and reachable via a three-block staircase.

Spawning conditions for blazes:

Template:Mob spawn table

Drops

On death

Template:DropTable Template:Xp Minecraft:experience orbs are dropped if killed by a player or tamed wolf.

Behavior

Template:Anchor Each blaze has its own follow range of approximately 42.5 to 53.5 blocks, determined when it spawns.<ref group=note name="blaze-follow-range">The base follow range is 48 blocks. When the blaze spawns, this is multiplied by 1 + 0.11485 * (r1 - r2), where r1 and r2 are random values from 0 to 1. The resulting value is used for acquiring and retaining targets, determining the horizontal reach of the alert area, and limiting ranged attacks.</ref>

Movement

When a blaze has no target, it wanders randomly over the ground, with a small bias toward lower light levels. Gravity pulls a blaze downward, but while descending it loses 40% of its speed each game tick, causing its downward speed to settle at about 2.283 blocks per second. Blazes attempt to swim upward in Minecraft:lava or Minecraft:water Template:In, but sink Template:In. Their pathfinding treats water as untraversable, gives lava a high cost, and does not avoid fire.

When a blaze has a target, with or without line of sight, it changes its threshold height for upward movement every 5 seconds. This threshold ranges between 6.4 blocks below and 7.4 blocks above the blaze's eyes.Template:Note While the target's eyes are above that chosen threshold, the blaze accelerates upward, approaching a vertical speed of about 2.237 blocks per second.

While its combat behavior is active, a blaze does not wander randomly.

Targeting

A blaze acquires a player as a target when the player is within its follow range and in its line of sight, though a player who is sneaking or invisible must be closer (see Minecraft:Invisibility). After losing sight of the player, the blaze continues targeting them for 3 seconds, provided they remain within its follow range.

If a blaze is hurt by a living entity, its retaliation behavior begins by targeting the attacker without requiring line of sight.Template:Note Without sight of the attacker, this behavior continues for 15 seconds, provided the attacker remains within the blaze's follow range. Seeing the attacker resets this timer.

When this retaliation behavior begins, the damaged blaze alerts every targetless blaze already within an area around it.Template:Note Alerted blazes target the attacker without requiring line of sight.

An alerted blaze can indefinitely keep as its target an attacker it does not see. It loses the target if they change dimensions or die. If it sees the attacker, the usual 3-second limit applies upon losing sight of them again.

Attacking

Template:See also Melee and ranged attacks require line of sight.

A blaze attacking

Ranged attack

A blaze begins its ranged attack when it can see a target at least 2 blocks away and closer than its 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.Template:Note

Small fireballs

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.Template:Note Small fireballs fired by dispensers follow the same motion.

On a successful entity hit, a small fireball deals Template:Hp base damage and sets the target on fire for 5 seconds. Against a player, the direct damage is Template:Hp on Easy, Template:Hp on Normal, and Template:Hp 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 Template:Cmd is set to true.

Melee attack

A blaze performs a melee attack once per second when it has line of sight on its target and their feet positions are less than 2 blocks apart. The attack deals Template:Hp damage to a player on Easy difficulty, Template:Hp on Normal, and Template:Hp on Hard. It is not fire damage, does not ignite the target, and is not prevented by Minecraft:Fire Resistance.

Damage

Blazes take damage from the following interactions:

Interaction Damage taken
Minecraft:Fire, Minecraft:lava, or falling No damage
Contact with Minecraft:rain or water Template:Hp damage every 0.5 seconds
Minecraft:Snowball Template:Hp damage
Minecraft:Water bottle Template:Hp damage when thrown within 4 blocks of the blaze
Fully frozen in Minecraft:powder snow Template:Hp freezing damage every 2 secondsTemplate:Note

Template:El blazes have no specific movement behavior while in water.

Appearance

A blaze emits two large smoke particles each tick. Its model is rendered at maximum block-light brightness but does not emit block light. Its twelve rods rotate continuously, and its charged state is displayed as fire during a ranged attack.

The entire blaze texture appears brighter Template:In, similar to the Minecraft:drowned's eyes. With Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals, blazes and their fire are actually emissive and glowing, with the side effect that the environment around a blaze darkens when looking at it.

Trivia

  • When throwing a Minecraft:potion of Minecraft:Invisibility on a blaze, the smoke remains visible.
  • According to Minecraft:Jens Bergensten, blazes look the way they do because all mobs in Minecraft are cuboid-shape, so to make them flame-like and magical, he created them as a core surrounded by rotating rods.<ref>Template:Mcnet</ref>
  • Blazes originally didn't have eyes when Jens Bergensten was first creating them and "just looked like a yellow rock". Eyes were added to give it more personality.<ref>Template:YouTube link</ref>
  • Despite not having visible feet, blazes are still capable of making footstep sounds.<ref>Template:Cite bug</ref>
  • According to Minecraft's "Visit the Nether!" blazes are sentient beings made of pure lava. The article theorizes they were created by the original inhabitants of Nether fortresses to serve as guards, but their creators lost control over the blazes and were subsequently destroyed by them.<ref>Template:Mcnet</ref>
