Ghasts are large, floating, ghost-like hostile mobs found in the Nether, and are the only source of ghast tears. Ghasts wander aimlessly and shoot explosive fireballs at players, which can be hit back to kill them instantly upon direct impact.

To spawn naturally, a ghast requires a solid block below it and a free space 5×5 blocks wide and 4 blocks high. They spawn in the basalt deltas, Nether wastes, and soul sand valley biomes in any light level. 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. In Bedrock Edition, two ghasts can spawn within any 4 chunk span.
