Thorns vs Fireball: Who Wins? In Minecraft

Hello to all the crazy Minecraft fans and those who aren't afraid to conduct the most incredible experiments in the game! Here I am again, your eternal adventurer — and, to be honest, the king of silly questions. Today, I bring you not just a test, but the experiment of the century. Hold on to your diamond helmets!

«What if…»: The Start of a Great Question

You're sitting there, mining coal or building yet another tower, and suddenly, bam — a thought strikes: What if you take a ghast, give it bulletproof netherite armor with "Thorns" and… bounce its fireball back into its nose? The first thought is simple: No way, that's impossible! The second: Wait, what would actually happen? Honestly, I was as intrigued as a witch with her first potion on the first night.

«Armor for a Ghast: Fashion or Necessity?»

Let's get to the point! I need a ghast, not just any ghast, but a true superstar of the mob world! Rolling up my sleeves, I set up a command block, wielding it almost like a shaman, and — voilà! Before me hovers a giant ghast in a full set of netherite armor with «Thorns III». You had to see it! A white floating cube, gleaming with a black shine... Next to this, even a bee looks less intimidating. It was something else!

«Fireball vs Inventor»: The Test Begins

Well, since the ghast is now a fashion icon, I became the brave one: survival mode, sword in hand, and — straight into the plasma cakes. First fireball – missed, second — failed, third — here it is, the moment of truth! I approach like Steve at an achievement parade, bounce the fireball back with that signature clang! — and my eyes are full of hope and excitement.

«What was that?!»: Emotions and an Unexpected Result

And then — BOOM! My heart instantly dropped by one segment… both on the screen and in my soul! Yes, yes, I really got hit on the head (literally) for my own efforts. That is, I launched the ghast's fireball back at it, it hit the ghast in its "Thorns" armor — and those thorns not only hurt the mob but also me! Honestly, it was a moment of pure surprise mixed with the funniest emotions. Isn't it brilliant? That's how I punished myself for being clever.

Pros and Cons of This Experiment

Now it's time to draw conclusions, like any mad Minecraft scientist:

Pros:

• We discovered another Minecraft mechanic (you can now hurt yourself even from a distance).
• We had tons of fun and emotions (my emotions were off the charts!).
• The experiment «blows your mind» as much as TNT.

Cons:

• Loss of hearts… and self-esteem (just kidding, but it stung a bit!).
• Chance of respawning if you're not prepared with a golden apple.
• The ghast now demands a bonus for unplanned scientific testing.

«My Opinion: Is It Worth Repeating?»

For me, this experiment was pure fun and another confirmation that Minecraft will never stop surprising us! If you love challenging the game's logic (and yourself) — go for it. But a warning — prepare your potions and armor, or the ghast and its thorns will give you a real good time.
