How to Gather Ghast Tears Without Combat

In vanilla gameplay, obtaining ghast tears requires hunting and slaying ghasts over open Nether terrain. With this mod, ghasts naturally cry and drop tears periodically whenever a player stays close to them.

Triggering Ghast Tears

1. Travel to the Nether and locate an active ghast.

2. Move within 32 blocks of the mob, which is the default distance required to trigger crying.

3. Remain inside this proximity radius. You do not need to attack or provoke the ghast; as long as you are close enough, it will begin crying on its own.

Collecting the Drops

• Take cover behind solid terrain or blast-resistant blocks like cobblestone to protect yourself from incoming fireballs while staying within the 32-block radius.
• Keep an eye on the ground directly beneath the floating ghast. Because tears drop directly from the mob, gravity will pull them down to the floor below.
• Walk over the fallen items to collect your ghast tears. The ghast remains alive, allowing you to repeatedly harvest tears without needing to find new mob spawns.
