Minecraft: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. A blaze attacks by floating upward and shooting fireballs at its target in volleys of three at a time. It can also attack its target in melee range with its spinning rods.

Spawning

Blazes may spawn naturally in Minecraft:Nether fortresses in groups of 2 or 3Template:Only and from 1 to 3Template:Only at a Minecraft:light level of 11 or less.

Blazes may also spawn from Minecraft:monster spawners in Nether fortresses. Two spawners generate in every Nether fortress and are located on small platforms surrounded by Nether brick fences with a three-block staircase leading up to it.

Spawning conditions for blazes:

• In the structure bounding box of any single piece of the Minecraft:Nether fortress, they can spawn on any block
• In the larger area bounding box of the entire Minecraft:Nether fortress, they can spawn exclusively on Minecraft:Nether bricks

Drops

On death

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

Behavior

Blazes can fly and are immune to damage from fire and lava. When not attacking, they stay on the ground or slowly sink through the air. When idle, blazes attempt to swim upward in Minecraft:lava or Minecraft:water Template:In but sink Template:In. Despite taking damage from water, blazes make no attempt to protect themselves if pushed or dropped into water. Their pathfinding does not avoid Minecraft:fire or lava but does avoid water.

Blazes take Template:Hp freezing damage from Minecraft:powder snow.

Blazes take Template:Hp damage when hit by a Minecraft:snowball and Template:Hp damage when hit by a Minecraft:splash water bottle.

Like Minecraft:endermen, blazes are damaged by Minecraft:rain by Template:Hp every half second.

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.

Attacking

Template:See also Blazes target players within 48 blocks. If a blaze is damaged by a player or another mob, it alerts other blazes within 48 blocks to target the attacker. A blaze flies when it acquires a target, slowly approaching while attempting to remain from 0.5 to 3.5 blocks above the target.

A blaze attacking

A blaze's normal attack is a trio of Minecraft:small fireballs, shot from up to 48 blocks. Unlike with the Minecraft:ghast or Minecraft:breeze, a blaze's projectiles cannot be deflected, but can be 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 that touches its target performs a melee attack once per second that does Template:Hp damage on Easy Minecraft:difficulty, Template:Hp on Normal, and Template:Hp on Hard. This attack is not considered fire damage and does not ignite the target, and as such cannot be prevented by the Minecraft:Fire Resistance status effect.

History

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>

Publicity

• On the official T-shirt "Alchemy" by JINX, the blaze is in the form of the Template:Wikipedia and the text uses the Minecraft:Standard Galactic Alphabet. The words on the outside of the ring translate to: "nigredo", "albedo", "citrinitas", and "rubedo",Template:Note which are all relating to Template:Wikipedia. The words on the ring translate to (starting from the top): "B * Crowmer", "poison * speed", "strenth * resist" Template:Sic, "vision * heal", and "regeneration" relating to Minecraft:potions and probably the artist's name. On the connecting lines the words translate to: "potln of thickness" Template:Sic, "potln of awkward" Template:Sic, "weakness potion" and "mundane potion" relating to base potions.
• As part of an official collaboration, blazes are included as monsters in a free add-on for the roleplaying game Template:Wikipedia.<ref>Template:Citation</ref> In the game, they are "Elementals" and have the alignment "Typically Neutral Evil."
• In Minecraft: Mobspotter's Encyclopedia, blazes are depicted using the smoke particles used for Minecraft:campfires instead of their traditional ones.
