Behavior

It preserves the complete vanilla Blaze goal set. With no living target, it flies toward an active bound Nexus, crosses walls by seeking open space above them, and fires from up to 32 blocks away. It may pick up suitable head equipment.

With Friends & Foes installed, the IM Wildfire adds a separate flying boss with shield-fragment volleys and similar Nexus approach behavior.

For the cold counterpart, see IM Freeze: snowball volleys, projectile-deflecting shields, water freezing and fire rescue.

Drops

The IM Blaze delegates its loot to the vanilla Blaze loot table, including Blaze Rod drops under the same vanilla conditions.

Vanilla replacement

While a Nexus is active, loaded and newly joining vanilla Blazes are converted to IM Blazes with maximum health reduced to 30% of the original. On non-Hard difficulties, replaceable natural spawns are cancelled while the Nexus is active.
