How to Get the Blaze Rod as the Main Ingredient to Create the Blaze Powder?
As mentioned, the only one way to get the Blaze Rod is by killing Blaze. Hitting them with a sword, using fire resistance and snowballs can be a smart way to kill Blaze. You definitely can shoot them with a bow with complete impunity with fire resistance. A Blaze will give you a 50% chance to drop Blaze Rod if you kill it. After a Blaze is killed, it will drop the Blaze Rod, so you can pick it that you use as the ingredient to craft the Blaze Powder.
So, what is Blaze? According to Minecraft Wiki, Blaze is a floating hostile mob that you can find in Nether Fortresses. A Blaze will naturally spawn at a light level of 11 or less.
Blazes definitely spawn in Nether Fortresses from Spawners, a cage-like block where they will be located on a three-block staircase with a small platform. Talking about their behaviour, Blazes will stay on the ground or sink down through the air, though when not attacking.
They will also try to swim upward in water or lava. When they idle, they will fall through water and lava. Even though they take damage from water, they do not try to protect themselves if dropped or pushed into water. However, they take damage from powder snow immediately.
When attacking, Blazes really target the players within 48 blocks. They will alert other blazes within 48 blocks to target the players who attack them if they are damaged by a player or other mobs. They will fly when they get a target and slowly approach while trying to remain 0.5 – 3.5 blocks above the target.
A trio of small fireballs is a Blaze’s normal attack that is shot from up to 48 blocks or 16 blocks. When a blaze has line of sight to its target, a blaze will shoot. However, the blaze will suspend the remainder of its volley until the line of sight returns when line of sight is broken in the middle of its volley.
If using this attack, the blazes will burn with fire for 3 seconds and shoot three small fireballs over the course of 0.9 seconds. After that, they will extinguish its flames and wait for 5 seconds before they are attacking again.
Blazes will shoot their small fireballs with approximately the same lack of accuracy as a dispenser. Unlike the dispenser’s that start slow and accelerate, their shots actually maintain the same speed all the way to the target.
Furthermore, Blazes that touch their target will perform a melee attack which deals damage on normal difficulty, once per second. However, this attack will not be considered fire damage and does not ignite the target. Well, it cannot be prevented by fire resistance potions and it will not try to approach the players to perform this attack.
