In Minecraft 1.7, there is /summon command, where people are able to summon mobs, entities, and other cool stuff to them or coordinates. What most people do not know is that you are able to put a DataTag on particular entities in order to give them certain items such as a zombie with complete diamond armor and make it awesome for adventure maps.
In general, you do /summon (x) (y) (z) or /summon and it will summon it at your coordinates. This one is such a cool way to get Ender Dragons in the Overworld, Ender Crystals, or fireballs. They are amazing. So, you have to type this command into your Minecraft chat (or copy and paste).
/summon Fireball ~ ~3 ~ {ExplosionPower:0,direction:[0.0,0.0,0.0]}
It will summon a fireball with 0 explosion power right above you. Now, you are able to change the explosion power to any number you want. Before doing so, keep in mind that it might be risky so please think about your PC. In fact, some computers can barely make it past a level 200 fireball without crashing. You are able to see the explosions with a level 1, 5, 10, 15, 30, 50, and 100 on a site called Planet Minecraft. For more information about it, please visit Planet Minecraft. This one is free and does not require sign in if you want to access it.
These followings are the information about how to summon fireballs in Minecraft.

/summon fireball <pos> <nbt>
- However, you need to provide the direction NBT tag or the command will not work:
/summon fireball ~ ~ 1 ~ {direction: [0.0,0.0,0.0]}
Pos is needed. This one is the x y z coordinate where the fireball should spawn.
Nbt refers to a compound NBT tag (used to be called data tag) that sets a property for the fireball such as {ExplosionPower:4}.
