Blazes are some dangerous and tough mobs to defeat in Minecraft. They have fire attacks, as the name would suggest, and can inflict over time damage on you. These mobs are only found within the deep depths below in the Nether. Singular Blaze can be somewhat easy to deal with but when they gang up on you, you could be in a risky position. This guide will show you how to defeat them easily so let’s take a look at that.
How to Find and Defeat Blazes in Minecraft
In order to defeat Blazes in Minecraft, you are going to have to find them first. Blazes spawn in the Nether, specifically in the Nether fortress. So make your way to a Nether Fortress. They’re easily recognizable with their yellow color rods floating around. They can attack at range with their fireball attack, so be careful once you are in the line of sight of one.
Blazes are important to defeat because the item they drop is required to complete Minecraft and reach the final boss. But once you know their weaknesses, it can be fairly easy to defeat these Blazes.
The best way to defeat them would be to keep a good distance and hit them at range. You can use Bow, crossbow, or even a trident. It is also easy to just block yourself out from blazes and their attacks by placing blocks in the way. Make sure you also carry a shield, this makes countering the range attacks easy.
An obvious yet uncommon way to deal damage to Blazes is with snowballs. Snowballs can deal a lot of damage to them can you can defeat a Blaze with only 7 snowballs. Once you take down the blazes you can destroy the spawner but you can also let more spawn so you can farm items. Only do this if you are very confident in your survival.
