How to Get the Ghast Tear

This is an item that cannot be crafted in the Minecraft game, in fact, you can only get it by killing a mob with the name of ghast. This mob can only be found in the nether world and is light gray in color with some lines on it. This is a very deadly mob and killing it won’t be that easy as it throws fireballs at you, and it flies in the air. So before dealing with it, you need to make sure that you have equipped yourself with some of the best armor and weapons, otherwise, you can easily be killed.

If you are unfamiliar with the furnace as well and don’t know how you can craft it then you can do that by placing 8 cobblestones on the crafting table. You need any kind of pickaxe to mine these stones because it can’t be mined by using hands only.

Potion of Regeneration is great for when taking on opponents or mobs stronger than you. While it doesn't do any damage to your enemy it will allow you to regenerate for a period of time. This makes you heal much faster, regardless of how full your hunger bar is. Like most potions it can be combined with Gunpowder, Redstone, Blaze Powder to make it even more useful.

To brew this potion you first need a bottle of water which you put into the bottom three slots of the brewing stand. Next you must put a nether wart into the ingredient slot at the top of the stand. This will make an awkward potion.

You then put a ghast tear (which you can find from killing ghasts in the nether) to the ingredient slot. You will get a Regeneration potion for 45 seconds. You can then put in a piece of glowstone dust OR redstone dust.

The redstone dust will extend the effect to 2 minutes and the glowstone dust will make the potion effect stronger but it will shorten the time to 22 seconds. However, you can add a fermented spider eye to the potion and you will get a weakness potion for 1 minute and 30 seconds.
