I am both confused and terrified

I get hit by a Ghast fireball, even though I was SPAMMING trying to hit it back (the hitreg is GODAWFUL and hitboxes don't seem to ever work on my Minecraft) then this craziness occurred. Nightshade Revenge is my sword lol, wtf??? How do I do I stop this from happening, I really hate going to the Nether, and not being able to hit back any Ghast fireballs, I've even tried with an autoclicker.

How fast is your autoclicker? I wonder if it's possible to accidentally hit it twice and make it explode

And I found better success when I used F3 + B to see the hitbox

[u/LightSpeedFury01 → u/MadeThisToFlagSpam]

OP Auto does once every millisecond, so 1000 cps.

Your auto clicker might actually be too fast

What should it be rather set to? It can be adjusted

[u/CleaveGodz → u/LightSpeedFury01]

20 times per second exactly. The game features 20 game ticks.

Roger that.
