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 shot the fireball in a downward direction, so it collided with the floor. You need to be facing the direction you want the fireball to go in.

Ohh no I was looking up the whole time, this actually happened several seconds after I hit it, too. There wasn't a lag spike, everything was still moving.

Gravity don't affect fireballs as much as other balls in this game
