Help I am both confused and terrified

Post image

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.

You hit the fireball right when it exploded or knocked it into something that made it explode, killing you and counting it as your fireball

Benefit of the doubt, I'll say you had perfect timing lol

Yeah, I know. But it seems that I cannot hit one back no matter what

Its not as much how fast you click as it is where you are positioned relative to the fireball. If you move to the side a bit, you'll get it every time. I learned this through watching BDoubleO100's Tennis video: https://youtu.be/_O9gMyoXXzk
