Crying Ghasts
by Serilum
Crying Ghasts makes ghasts drop their tears at a fixed interval while a player stays near them, which lets the tears be farmed over time.
What it does
Ghasts in the world drop their tears periodically once a player is within range. The range and the interval between drops are both set in the mod's config, with the distance defaulting to 32 blocks and the delay defaulting to 1200 ticks. The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it, and it requires Collective. Files cover 1.16.5 – 26.3 for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the mod is not open source, released under All rights reserved.
