Damage by difficulty
| Difficulty | Damage | Hearts |
|---|---|---|
| Easy | 4 | |
| Normal | 6 | |
| Hard | 9 |  |
A melee hit on a player with no armor. Easy = half + 1 (never more than Normal), Hard = 1.5× — the game's own formula.
What does the Blaze drop?
CalculatedExact chance per kill, with the Looting levels side by side. Rare drops need the kill to come from a player.
| Item | Chance | Looting 1 | Looting 2 | Looting 3 | Count | Average |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 Blaze Rod | 50% | 75% | 87.5% | 91.7% | 1–4 | 0.5 |
XP and player-only drops need the player to have hit the mob within the last 5 seconds. Armor and weapons a mob spawned with drop separately (8.5% per item, +1% per Looting level).
Your coordinates and biome beside the game
