Blaze

Blazes are mobs with yellow skin and black eyes found in the Nether.

Spawning
Blazes can spawn naturally in nether fortresses at a light level of 11 or less.

Monster spawners
Blazes spawn from spawners found in nether fortresses. They can spawn in a 9x9 area around the spawner on the same level, one level higher and one level lower.

Drops
When killed by a player or tamed wolf, a blaze may drop one blaze rod. A blaze drops up to 4 blaze rods if killed with sword with the enchantment "Looting". Blazes which are killed by other causes will not drop anything. In the Console Edition, they also drop 0-2 glowstone dust.

They also drop 10 experience when killed by a player or tamed wolf.

Behavior
Although blazes are able to fly, they will stay on the ground or sink down slowly in the air when not attacking. Blazes will not attempt to swim upwards in lava or water, unlike zombie pigmen. When they see a player, they will start flying and attacking. They will catch fire briefly before shooting 3 fireballs in rapid succession. A short cool down period occurs between attacks. Despite taking damage from water (see ), blazes will make no attempts at their protection if somehow pushed or dropped into water. If a Blaze is hit by a Player, it will alert other Blazes within 50 blocks of the player's presence, leading to a possible swarm.

Blaze fireball
Blazes shoot fireballs at the player, dealing on all difficulty levels. The fireball will set anything it hits on fire, including solid blocks, mobs, and players, causing an additional damage. A blaze shoots its fireballs with roughly the same lack of accuracy as a dispenser; however the blaze's shots maintain the same speed all the way to the target, unlike the dispenser's which starts slow and accelerates. If you hit a blaze while it is on fire it will sometimes cancel out the fireball attack. Blaze fireballs do no damage when under the effects of a potion of Fire Resistance.

Combat
In addition to normal weapons, blazes can be hurt by snowballs, taking damage per hit. They are also damaged by water and rain by every  half second. Like all Nether mobs, they are immune to fire and lava.
