Advanced Happy Ghast
by KCLucas
Advanced Happy Ghast turns the Happy Ghast into a companion that gains levels, its own identity and growing abilities as its owner rides it.
What it does
Each Ghast tracks the distance it travels and the experience it earns while carrying its owner. The mod adds a custom dashboard for managing the companion, where the owner sees the current level, the total distance traveled together and a live tracker that lists what is still missing before the following level-up. Upgrades use an upgrade slot that accepts specialized materials, such as Ghast Tears for the first stage and a Nether Star for the final evolution.
Higher levels bring progressive bonuses: the Ghast becomes permanently faster at levels 1 to 3, and inventory rows open from level 2, with maximum capacity at level 3. The mod works with progression systems, integrated storage and speed bonuses. It requires Fabric API and runs on Fabric only, with the latest file 0.3.2 for 1.21.11 published on the beta channel. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source and issue tracker are public.

How it compares
Speed Happy Ghast is open source under no license named here, and it is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 1.21.6 – 26.2 as a server-required mod with an optional client. Small Happy Ghast is server-side only, open source under the MIT License and published for Fabric across 1.21.6 – 1.21.11, so players join without installing anything. Advanced Happy Ghast is client and server, with a level system rather than a fixed speed change, and covers only Fabric for 1.21.11.
