Description: Poltergeists are a dangerous enemy to face. While they do have low health, they make up for this with powerful offensive and defensive capabilities. The poltergeist has the ability to pick up nearby blocks and entities (mobs, minecarts, boats, arrows, etc.) and incorporate them into their orbit (max 5). Orbiting blocks and entities damage the player upon contact. This makes damaging the actual poltergeist (the translucent blue orb in the centre) very difficult, as getting close without being damaged is very hard to do. Arrows are ineffectual against poltergeists as they just incorporate them into their orbit.

The poltergeist’s attack power also stems from its ability to pick up blocks and entities. Any block or entity orbiting the poltergeist can be thrown at the player. Blocks and entities deal 7 damage upon hitting the player, and arrows deal damage equal to a fully charged shot.
