Happy Ghast
This mod introduces friendly Ghast companions inspired by the Live features.
Core Features:
- Friendly Mobs: Adds the peaceful, rideable Happy Ghast and its baby form, the Ghastling. They won't attack players and don't despawn. Iron Golems, Snow Golems, and Guard Villagers will not target them.
- Ghastling Growth:
- Find Dried Ghasts generating near Nether Fossils (in various Nether biomes).
- Waterlog a dried ghasts to start hatching (takes about 1 in-game day). The incubator shows visual stages (Dried, Neutral, Happy).
- Use Ghast Tears on a waterlogged dried ghast to speed up hatching.
- Right-click a dried ghast with a Stick to check progress.
- Feed hatched Ghastlings snowballs to heal them and significantly speed up their growth into a Happy Ghast.
- Riding & Transport:
- Equip adult Happy Ghasts with a harness (found or crafted) to ride them.
- Control flight with Space (ascend) and C (descend).
- Ride with friends: Happy Ghasts can carry up to 4 players.
- Adjust flight speed using the /ghastspeed <multiplier|reset> command (requires permissions).
- Customization:
- Use standard colored harnesses, dye them, or remove them with shears.
- Create custom harnesses (single-player only via /ghast createharness command and GUI). Add your own 2:1 ratio textures for saddles, glasses, and accessories to the happyghast_textures folder.
- Other:
- Includes spawn eggs for both mobs.
- Features custom sounds for Ghasts, Ghastlings, and the incubator.
- Extended interaction range for easier mounting.
Compatibility:
- Minecraft 1.19.2 (Forge)
- Minecraft 1.20.1 (Forge)
- Minecraft 1.21.1 (NeoForge)
