How to get a Ghast Tear in Survival Mode
You can add a ghast tear to your inventory in Survival mode by killing a ghast. So let's get started!
1. Find a Ghast
You first need to find a ghast.
A ghast is a type of mob that is only found in the Nether.
2. Attack and Kill the Ghast
Once you find a ghast, you need to attack it. When you attack the ghast, it will turn pink as it takes damage.
Continue to chase and attack the ghast. Once you have killed the ghast, it may drop a ghast tear. There isn't a 100% chance that the ghast will drop a ghast tear when it dies. If it doesn't drop one, find another ghast and try again.
3. Pick up the Ghast Tear
Make sure you pick up the ghast tear before it disappears.
A ghast tear is a useful item and should be kept in your inventory to be used later.
