Crispy Ghasts
by Creeper2800
Crispy Ghasts lets players eat dried ghasts and cook them into a crispy version that can also be placed as a block, and the mod is a Fabric food and decoration mod for 1.21.11.
What it does
Players can eat a dried ghast, which gives a few brief negative effects. Cooking a dried ghast in a furnace or smoker produces a crispy ghast, which gives some positive effects instead. The crispy ghast can also be placed in the world, where it looks a little more burnt than the original, happy ghast.
The mod is listed under Food, with other categories Cursed, Decoration and Mobs. It runs on the client and the server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, for a single game version, 1.21.11, with 1.0 as the latest file from 2026-03-16. The mod is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
The author describes it as a playful, slightly absurd addition to the ghast theme, and the same mechanics suit a survival world or a server where players want something odd to cook.

Overcooking
The author notes that an overcooked crispy ghast is a further, separate outcome of cooking.

How it compares
Cursed ghasts is an open source Fabric mod released under the MIT License, covering 1.20 – 1.21.1, and it is client and server. Crispy Ghasts is not open source, is limited to 1.21.11 and is also client and server. Speed Happy Ghast is server required with client optional and is licensed as All rights reserved, so its install rules differ from Crispy Ghasts.
