✅ Verified for Java 26.2 · Bedrock 26.32 — checked June 2026

Summons a ghast fireball with ExplosionPower:2 for a bigger blast on impact. Without a direction it tends to drift, so aim it by facing where you want it before summoning. Higher ExplosionPower values make larger craters, so test on disposable terrain.
