To make a Ghast Tear in Minecraft, players must venture to the Nether and defeat Ghasts, which are large, floating creatures. Ghasts drop Ghast Tears as a rare and valuable item when they are killed. These Tears are used in various crafting recipes, including the brewing of potions like regeneration and lingering potions. To increase the chances of obtaining a Ghast Tear, players can use a Looting III enchantment on their weapon. Once acquired, Ghast Tears can be stored or utilized in a variety of helpful ways throughout the game..
