Better Happy Ghast - Lite
Better Happy Ghast - Lite lets players park a harnessed Happy Ghast with a Blaze Rod and adjust how fast it flies while mounted.
What it does
Holding a Blaze Rod toggles a parked state on a Happy Ghast. A parked ghast that nobody rides stays perfectly still in place, which keeps it from drifting off once it has been left somewhere. A ghast that is harnessed and mounted while parked flies faster instead, and the speed is set by a configurable multiplier. The Blaze Rod toggle works only on a ghast with a harness, so unharnessed ghasts are not affected.
The mod changes the parked state of the vanilla Happy Ghast added in Minecraft 1.21.x. Optional glow and particle feedback show when the parked state is switched on or off, and the feedback can be turned off in the simple JSON config. The mod requires Fabric Loader 0.15.0 and Fabric API for the 1.21.x version line. It runs on client and server and is released under the MIT License, so it is open source. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21.9.
Key features
Toggleable parked state
A Blaze Rod switches a harnessed Happy Ghast between parked and moving, and only harnessed ghasts respond to the rod.
Still when unmounted
A parked ghast with no rider stays perfectly still, so it can be held in one spot without being pushed by movement.
Faster when mounted
A parked ghast with a rider flies faster, and the speed comes from a configurable multiplier.
Visual feedback
An optional glow and particle effect marks the parked state, and it can be turned off in the config.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.

Use cases
Holding a ghast in place
A player can park a ghast at a fixed spot and leave it there until the Blaze Rod toggles it back to moving.
Faster travel on a ghast
A rider can park a harnessed ghast and fly it faster, with the speed multiplier set in the config.
