How to Get Tears Music Disc in Minecraft

The Tears Music Disc can be obtained by completing the Return to Sender challenge in Minecraft. This challenge requires you to enter the Nether dimension, find a giant white flying ghast, and defeat it. However, the only condition is that you must kill the ghast by deflecting its fireballs towards it. Follow the steps below to go through it:

1. Locate a Ghast in the Nether Dimension

To enter the Nether dimension, you’ll need Obsidian blocks and a Flint and Stone to light up the Ruine Portal. But before you go ahead, be prepared for the fight with a sword, a shield, at least complete iron armor, and a few building blocks to create a barricade.

Now, light up the portal and step into the Nether. Here, you can find the ghasts in the following biomes:

• Soul Sand Valley
• Basalt Delta
• Nether Waste

Claiming the disc might get difficult if you’re trying to complete this challenge in Basalt Deltas, since pools of lava cover the whole area, so make sure to lure the ghast away from it.

In Java edition, these can spawn in groups of four. However, in Bedrock, they spawn individually. You won’t find any ghasts inside the structures like Nether Fortresses; instead, they might fly around them, if the biome is correct.

2. Defeat the Ghast with Its Own Fireball

So, once you find a ghast, get ready with your shield, sword, and try placing a few blocks in front of you to create a barricade against the fireballs. The ghast has five hearts of health and will attack you with exploding fireballs when it spots you or if you agro it by shooting arrows. You can easily defeat the ghast if you follow these tips:

• When you spot a ghast and it starts shooting fireballs at you, try blocking a couple by using your shield first. This will let you learning the timing.
• So once you’re ready, watch the fireball during the next attack.
• As soon as it’s within your range, click the left mouse button with your sword equipped to deflect the fireball back at the ghast.

Repeat this a couple of times, and you will defeat this hostile Minecraft mob in just a couple of hits. However, it keeps moving in the air, thereby making it difficult to aim the shot. So, keep practicing till you perfect your aim or get lucky and hit the ghast in a single shot.

3. Pick up the Tears Music Disc

Now that you have defeated the ghast with its own fireball, you’ll get the Tears music disc at the place of its death, and the ‘Return To Sender‘ achievement will be displayed at the bottom.

Apart from the music disc, you can also get a ghast tear or gunpowder as drops. With the disc in your inventory, head back to your base, place or make a Minecraft Jukebox in your home, and interact with it while the disc is equipped to play the Tears music track.

And that’s how you get the Tears music disc in Minecraft. So, did you have fun completing this challenge? Let us know in the comments below!
