Ghasts firing at something?

[RedReign]

Hi everyone.

I was playing the Mindcrack Pack v8.0.1. While trying to find a Nether Fortress, I heard the ghasts' screams, as well as the additional sound that plays when they actually shoot the fireballs. I assumed they were shooting at me, but there were no ghasts or fireballs in sight or on the minimap. It sounded like there was only one ghast doing this, but it wouldn't stop for the next minute or so that I was playing. When I closed and restarted Minecraft, there were two or three shots, but then it suddenly ceased.

I looked on the vanilla wiki and didn't see anything about ghasts attacking other NPC's or attacking without line-of-sight to a player. Because of this, I'm assuming it's an FTB-related issue.

Do any of the mods in FTB have things (blocks, mobs, or other things) that Ghasts are aggressive against?

Thanks for reading.

Did you see the Ghast? cause sometimes it get's glitched & it can see you through blocks sometimes, & when it ceased it probly killed itself.

Maybe it glitch-spawned in a cave where it suffocated?

I didn't hear the pain or death sounds, so that kinda rules out the suffocation hypothesis. I don't think it killed itself either.

Though I still think it was just a glitch. Thanks for your help though.

I know there are other mobs that make ghast sounds (not sure which ones)

I've had that before, in a fortress mining the bricks, kept hearing this ghast shooting away. Uncovered the ghast under my feet trapped in a small cavern. Bit of a shock.

Nether mobs, Graeme?

I'm not sure exactly where it was. All I know is that it stopped with its baby-ass screams once I restarted.

This occurs when the ghasts head is inside of a block. That makes him able to look through the world and see / attack you. The ghast is probably stuck somewhere in a room with a low ceiling, creating a massive crater.
