Blaze

Blaze
Type:	Hostile
Drops:	Blaze rods

A blaze is a mob from the Nether.

Spawning

The blaze can spawn anywhere in the Nether, on netherrack. But there are 1% chance of seeing a blaze on the Nether in Mineblocks, Because the fact that there is no Nether Fortress in Mineblocks and because the world is filled with netherrack and bone blocks.

Drops

When a blaze is killed, it will drop 0-2 blaze rods, along with 0-1 charcoal(33%?).

Behavior

Blazes can fly and randomly float around, aimlessly, giving off smoke particles. However, when they come into proximity of the player, their head will catch on fire, and they will start shooting fireballs at the player, which cause small explosions that do not do damage to blocks, only to entities. They also have a melee attack, dealing half a heart of damage a second.
