You may want to summon a fireball in Minecraft. If you want to do that whenever you want by using a cheat or game command. The /summon command can be used by you to summon fireballs in Minecraft. Before you summon a fireball, it is important for you to know that the command that is used to summon a fireball is available only in Java Edition.
So, in Pocket Edition, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4, Wii U, Nintendo Switch, Windows 10 Edition, and Education Edition, the command is not available. If you try to use this command other than in Java Edition, it will not work.
How To Summon Fireball Using Command
To use the command to summon fireballs in Minecraft, you have to turn cheats on in your world. Here is the summon command in Minecraft Java Edition.
- If you use Minecraft Java Edition 1.16, the syntax to summon a fireball using the /summon command is like this:
/summon fireball [pos] [nbt]
Beginning in Java Edition 1.16, the direction NBT tag has been replaced with the Motion tag and now it is optional.
- In Minecraft Java Edition 1.14, 1.15 and 1.16, the syntax to summon a fireball is like this:
/summon fireball <pos> <nbt>
However, you have to provide the direction NBT tag. If not, the command will not work:
/summon fireball ~ ~1 ~ {direction:[0.0,0.0,0.0]}
You may wonder what ‘pos’ and ‘nbt’ are. Pos is the x y z coordinate where the fireball should spawn and it is required. Nbt is a compound NBT tag which can set a property for the fireball such as {ExplosionPower4}.
