How to Change the Ghast Crying Distance

By default, players must stand within 32 blocks of a ghast for it to begin crying and dropping tears. You can tweak this proximity threshold directly in the configuration files.

Locating the Setting

1. Open your Minecraft game directory and access the config folder.

2. Open the configuration file for the mod using any standard text editor.

3. Locate the parameter named maxDistanceToGhastBlocks.

Customizing Detection Range

• The default value is 32 blocks.
• Increase this number if your safe room, storage area, or Nether base is built further away from where your captured ghasts reside. A larger radius allows ghasts to drop tears even when you are walking around at a distance.
• Decrease this number if you prefer a stricter challenge that requires players to stand very close to ghasts to receive items.
• Save the modified file and restart your game or server to apply the updated distance.
