Wat dit project doet

What this mod adds

Happy Ghast puts a friendly, rideable ghast into the game. It's modeled on the happy ghast shown at Minecraft Live. Modrinth files it under two categories: Mobs and Transportation.

That pairing describes it well. The ghast is a creature in its own right, and it also serves as a mount.

Riding your ghast

To ride, you craft a harness and equip it on your ghast. Once the harness is on, the ghast can be ridden.

The mod also lets you step onto the top of the ghast. The project lists this as one of its current features.

Several players can ride together, because the mod includes multiple passenger support.

Harnesses are available in all 16 wool colors, so each wool color has a matching harness.

How to get a Happy Ghast

The process begins in the Nether, where you can find a dried ghast. Hydrate it with water and it becomes a ghastling.

From there, you've two ways to finish. You can simply wait, or you can feed the ghastling snowballs. Honestly, either route turns it into a Happy Ghast.

In short, the stages run like this:

Dried ghast, found in the Nether
Ghastling, after hydrating the dried ghast with water
Happy Ghast, after waiting or feeding snowballs
